Was it a week ago when I was just lamenting and posted the article “When will I see you again?” after my trip to Gimje for Park Sihoo-ssi’s fan meeting? Before I knew it, there were news that he would be making his way to Macau for the filming of his new drama “Neighborhood Hero”!
What a pleasant surprise! To be able to see Park Sihoo-ssi once again so soon!
We were obviously pretty excited, but had to figure out if we could be there since it would be a workday on the day of his arrival. I was in limbo until I got the go ahead, at the last minute, to take leave from work.
So yesterday a small contingent of fans, around 20 – 30 of us from Macau, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Japan, Philippines and a sprinkling of fans from other countries were at the Macau International Airport bright and early to wait for his arrival. We came by air, sea and land to Macau and were excited to be able to see Park Sihoo-ssi once again!
His flight arrived on schedule at 10.36am. We were expecting him to take a while as he has been known to dally, taking his time and it could be more than an hour before he made an appearance at the immigration gate. Yesterday, he took us by surprise! He was out within half an hour of landing! He came out when we least expected! If not for the screaming of “Sihoo-ssi” by some fans who spotted him following right behind the film crew with their prop boxes, we would have missed him! He must be practising hard already immersed in his role as ex-secret agent!
Dressed in all black with a No 7 cap, he looked so small, pint size among the rest of the crew. Some fans actually speculated that he had lost weight again in the span of just a week after Gimje. Worriers again, these “mama fans”!
As is his usual self, he breezed by with his long strides, stopping every now and then to shake hands. And he accepted the bouquet of flowers we had specially arranged for him! Enjoy, Park Sihoo-ssi!
Like the piped piper of Hamlin, the crowd waiting at the arrival gate moved in rhythm with him, following in his wake. At the exit to the airport building, he walked out with his assistant towards the carpark where the coaches waited. For a moment, we were at a loss of whether to follow them. This gave them some breathing space before we caught up again just as he was about to board one of the coaches. He waved his signature wave, smiled and went up the coach, disappearing to the back, hidden behind the curtains. We loitered for a while near the coach hoping to catch further glimpses of him.
One of the Macau fans had arranged to buy some Macau goodies for Park Sihoo-ssi, sweets for our sweet. She was late from class and missed greeting him at the arrival hall. But she made it in the nick of time before the coach left. She gave the presents to him in the care of one of the crew. And then discovered that in her hurry, she had left her car keys in the bag of presents! Gosh, she was most frantic! No, no, no, the car’s not the present 🙂 Now wouldn’t Park Sihoo-ssi be most happy with a present like that? A little car to zip around while he is in Macau! 🙂 Luckily, she remembered and it was retrieved just in time! Sorry, Park Sihoo-ssi, no car!
Just before the coach drove off, Park Sihoo-ssi drew back the curtains and waved us goodbye….
Little did he know that we would be waiting to welcome him at his hotel 🙂 We did and some of us shook hands with him as he came off his coach and then we left him to check into his hotel and went off for our lunch at the popular Portuguese restaurant, Restorante Dumbo. We heard that Park Sihoo-ssi and the crew went there too…but we missed them or rather, they missed us. We were there for lunch, they were there for dinner yesterday!
So ended our day in Macau, and another sojourn with Park Sihoo-ssi! So good to see him once again!
Today, we understand, the filming in Macau will start in ernest and bright and early too! So, work hard, Park Sihoo-ssi! But please, make sure you take time to eat well, sleep well and take in the sights and sounds of Macau!
PS: Heard that the female leads Yuri and Choi Yoonso were also there among the cast. But I really don’t know, my eyes were glued on one extra special man, no eyes for anyone else 😉
又见施厚君也!
是不是在一个星期前,施厚君金堤粉丝见面会之后,我正感叹,并写了一篇文章“我们何时再见面?” 不到一个星期的时间,就传出了他将去澳门拍摄他的新剧“邻家英雄”的消息!
多么美妙的惊喜!我们又有福利啦,可以再次见到施厚君!
自从知道他的澳门之行,我们一直非常兴奋。因为他去澳门的那天是个工作日,大家都犹豫可否请得到假去澳门接机。我也一样,是在最后时间才确定可以抽空去澳门的。
因此,昨天,一小群大约20-30位厚粉,来自澳门,香港,中国,新加坡,日本,菲利宾和其他周边国家,从四面八方,海、路、空,一大清早降临澳门国际机场,等待他的到来。我们都很高兴能够在短时间内,再次见到施厚君!
他的航班在10点36分准时抵达澳门。以施厚君的习惯,他会在禁区呆一段时间才出来,通常超过一个小时。昨天,他出乎我们意料的快,降落半个小时内就出来了!如果不是因为一些厚粉发现他跟随推着道具箱的剧组人员出来,尖叫着“Sihoo-ssi”,我们可能都错过了他!真是开始练习并投入他秘密特工的角色了!
穿着全黑的衣裳,戴着一顶黑帽子,他看上去是那么的瘦小。一些厚粉觉得,跟他金堤离别的短短一周内,他又瘦了。“妈妈粉丝”们又为她们的宝贝儿子担忧啦!
就如他平常的习惯,他轻松,跨着大脚步的往前行,偶而停下来跟粉丝握手。他接受了我们特意为他准备的鲜花束!施厚君,希望你会喜欢!
像哈姆林的管道吹笛者,在等候的所有人群,都随着他的节奏,跟在他身后。在机场的出口处,他和助理走了出去停车场时,我们愣了一下,不知道怎么办。他们向前走了一段路,我们才觉悟过来, 再次赶上时,他正好要登上大巴。他向我们挥挥手,微笑,然后上车,消失在车后,给窗帘隐藏住了。我们就在大巴边闲聊了一会儿,希望能再看他一眼。
一位澳门粉丝安排买了一些好吃的澳门手信和糖果,打算送给施厚君。但她迟到了,错过在入境出口迎接他。幸好赶到,拖一位剧组负责人把礼物送给施厚君。后来她发觉,把她车的钥匙也送上了,就在礼物袋里!她可着急了!天哪,她几乎把自己的车也当礼物送给了施厚君 🙂 如果是这样,施厚君可高兴啦!因为他在澳门就可以开车到处溜达啦!:) 好幸运,她及时想起来!当然,她不介意做他的司机噢!
大巴正要开走时,施厚君拉开窗帘,向我们挥手告别….
他不晓得的是,我们尽然会在他的酒店等侯,再次欢迎他:) 他下车后,跟我们几位握了手,进酒店去了。我们也就离开,去当地著名的小飞象葡萄牙餐厅吃午饭去了。听说施厚君和剧组也去那里用餐了。但我们错过了他们,没偶遇上,或应该说,他们错过了我们,没粉上 😉 我们昨天是在那里吃午饭,他们就在那里吃晚饭!
就这样,我们结束了一天的澳门之旅,告别了施厚君!很高兴能在短短时间内,再次见到他!
我们所了解的,今天一早,他会在澳门开始拍剧了!施厚君,要好好努力工作哦!希望在工作之余,有时间吃得好,睡得好,和欣赏澳门的景色!
PS:听姐妹们说,女主侑莉和崔允素也一起去澳门了。但我没看到。我眼里只有一位非常特别的男生,看不进其他人了;)

“Park Sihoo-ssi, once again!”. That means that you must never loose your hopes, wondering “When will I see you again?”. That has happened sooner then you’ve thought, going to Macau to meet him at the airpot, and see him again in person. So :”Your destiny is to fulfill those things upon you focus most intently So choose to keep your focus on that which is truly magnificent, beautiful, uplifting and joyful!”[R. Marston] Keep your focus on our magnificent PSH!
I remember Park Sihoo-ssi in his shirt which says “Never give up!’ And I won’t! It will be anything within my ability to lend his whatever support he needs – whether being there in person or spirit 🙂
Thank you Nance for yet another great sharing and write up! Always full of treats reading your articles. Looks like the sniffy bit got to take a rain check haha
Thank you! Not even close, so no chance for sniffies this time…but I have it at the back of my mind the next time 🙂
Congratulations Nance for following your heart and greeting Park Si Hoo in Macau.
Your report is wonderful written and makes us witnesses at his arrival and accommodation there. Thank you.
I don’t know if it’s only my impression but he seems a little bit solitary among the rest of NH crew so I think his fans’ presence was / is heartening.
Thank you for your support and encouragement, Daniela. It means a lot to me. You are very perceptive. While he was among the crew coming out, there was no interaction. It was the same with other actors, I believe. Each was with his/her assistant. It might be that the cast/crew is new and still getting to know one another. And it also might be that this is the way of the Korean entertainment world not to be seen in close interaction in public or it might lead to unfounded gossips…
You’re welcome Nance.
Yes it could be so, but is quite different from what we saw during “Scent” filming, even with language’s barriers the warm and respect were in the air.
Anyway, as long as his fans love and support him, I’m sure he can stomach whatever.
