It was a joy to discover a gem of an all-rounded Korean talent among the thousands of Korean stars, one that is not just a result of massive marketing efforts.
I am talking about the real deal, someone with real, natural abilities and talent. Someone who is not only an outstanding and brilliant actor but also has the gift of singing and dancing. Yes, I am talking about Park Sihoo-ssi!
I discovered the joy of Park Sihoo-ssi some years back, as did so many other Park Sihoo-ssi fans. Watching his dramas and movies, seeing him at events, and keeping up with his news brought us tremendous enjoyment. But most importantly, he brought us, his fans together. We are a sisterhood, a family, united in our love for this man!
I can only say for myself. I like Park Sihoo-ssi and I enjoy the interactions, discussions and sharing among our closely knitted sisterhood.
There was a time when I was a closet Park Sihoo-ssi fan, who kept her interest and admiration for this man to herself. I would search and read up on him, but I didn’t interact or discuss him with anyone. It was only when I started opening up that I discovered much more about him. And I also found other like-minded people to share my tremendous joy and to discuss my thoughts, opinions, happiness and concerns. It made me fall deeper “in love” with this man 🙂 And this just keep on snowballing!
Now, having set up and running ParkSihooSsi.com, I see that sisterhood and my horizon expanding with greater interactions and sharing. My thoughts shared and yours shared in return. Many thanks to those who are so generous! I always look forward to reading and hearing everything and anything you have on our Park Sihoo-ssi.
From my experience, I would encourage those who are closet fans to reach out to others with the same interest. When you are ready, reach out and “touch” someone else and share! You are not alone!
We are a sisterhood, a Park Sihoo-ssi sisterhood!
We love together, we share together, we fight together and we go crazy for him together! 🙂 Many of you have said it before, and I will hold you to your words! We will grow old together with Park Sihoo-ssi. We will be right there by his side and watch with pride as he fulfils his ambition to be a lifelong actor!
Sisters unite! For “We are Family!” as what Sister Sledge sang!

姐妹帮!
在成千上万个韩国明星当中,能够发现一位全方位的实力派人才,给带来的惊喜,就像捞到金一般,尤其是一位不是经过大规模的营销活动炒出来的。
我说的是实打实的,天赐的能力,在加上个人的努力磨练出来,不仅是一位杰出而辉煌的演员,也有载歌载舞的天份。是的,我指的是施厚君!
就像许多施厚君的粉丝姐妹们一样,在几年前,我非常高兴发现了施厚君的存在。观看他的电视剧和电影,在他在活动中见到他,阅读他的新闻,给我们带来无穷的享受。但最重要的,他把我们,他的粉丝聚在一起。我们是姐妹帮,一个大家族,我们因为爱而认识和团结!
我只能为自己说话。我喜欢施厚君, 喜欢厚粉姐妹们密切的互动,讨论和分享。
之前,我曾经是一位“壁橱closet”施厚君粉丝,孤独默默的喜欢他。我会搜索和阅读关于他的信息,但没有主动与任何人交流和分享。只有当我开始对外互动交流,才发现还有许多对施厚君有爱的姐妹们,大家可以一起分享内心对这个男士的巨大喜悦幸福和爱护,一起探讨对他的想法和意见,一起互相关注。这让我更深地“爱上”了这个男人 🙂 继续像个滚着的雪球,越滚越大!
现在,建立和运行着ParkSihooSsi.com,看到姐妹帮一直在扩大,有更多的互动和分享。把我的想法分享给姐妹们,同样,姐妹们也把妳们的想法共享,对这样的互动和交流感到特别安慰兴奋。非常感谢姐妹们大方的分享!每一天都期待着阅读和聆听妳们对施厚君的感受,想法和支持。
从我的经验,我非常鼓励和希望那些躲在“壁橱closet”后的施厚君粉丝也和我一样,找机会多点跟其他同兴趣施厚君的姐妹们接触。伸出妳的手去接触其他的厚粉姐妹们!妳会发现,以后不需要孤独守厚了!
我们是姐妹帮,一个施厚君的姐妹帮!
我们一起喜欢,我们一起分享,我们一起战斗,我们一起为他疯狂! 🙂 许多姐妹们曾经说过,会用最初的心陪施厚君走最远的路,会陪伴他到老,因为他有愿望当一辈子的演员。姐妹们,请大家一定要遵守诺言哦!
姐妹们,我们要团结,努力为施厚君奋斗!就如雪橇姐妹所唱的,因为我们是一个家族,施厚君的家族!

I do not think is someone who has seen a film or serial, Park Shi Hoo and with which not want to see all the movies and series of fast. PSH is a nice feeling that gets you quickly and want to know how more about it. It has many qualities and roles of interpreting the divine, why has won many fans. But the greatest support is here “Park Sihoo-ssi”, which brings news and news all the time about the great actor. Thanks a lot.
‘A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.”[Isodora James] All PSH’s fans are all sisters, whose bond is strong, whose friendship is strong, whose sisterhood is a very powerful force. Because our sisterhood has a common cause :supporting PSH, loving PSH, caring for PSH, and for many reasons we have a great luck joining all of us , as Park Sihoo-ssi sisterhood,, joining Parksihoossi.com,, where Nance is the best catalyst of our sisterhood. Our Park Sihoo-ssi sisterhood is our safe place to share our thoughts and feelings and concerns about PSH. Willam Moulton Marston, an American psychologist and writer has created a new kind of superhero, one who would triumph not with fists or firepower , but with love. And this superhero has become as “Wonder Woman”.I think that each of us belonging to Park Sihoo-ssi sisterhood is a kind of Wonder Woman, who fights for justice for PSH, for love for PSH, for a strong support for PSH. Our sisterhood is an example of our empowered feminity within our community. We are sisters connected heart to heart and distance and time can’t break us apart.!
Sisterhood represents many wonderful things: a smile, a friendly hug, a cheerful hello. But when this becomes Park Sihoo-ssi sisterhood , then this : it’s treasured, it’s sacred, it’s eternal, it’s dreams and feelings shared, it’s goal achieved. It’s real! Everything dedicated to PSH!
The personal touch of your posts are always food for thinking, Nance.
In some ways I am very much like my astrological sign, Cancer. Especially the part that can retreat into its shell at times. I’m not really a people person and do not make fast and easy contact. More the kind of “see which way the wind blows”. I am the kind of person that could attend a PSH event without anyone knowing. Unless I let the cat out of the bag myself. Although I think my skin colour might betray me. Not my height, because I am a tiny lady.^^
However, after my discovery of PSH and PSH4U shortly after its launch, I soon started leaving comments as my thought was “What’s the use of visiting a website about your favorite actor where everybody keep their mouth shut?” A small group of fans became a larger group of fans and the interactions became more and more lively. That’s me too. Although I don’t want to be in the lime light, I am unable even to remain at the background.
Over the years PSH has broadened my horizon in many ways. I started to learn Korean which is still lacking though. I became co-administrator of a PSH blog at the invitation of a friend. Slowly the thought of starting my own PSH blog became stronger and I had an empty domain since 2008. So that’s where the English blog is. The Dutch I only started last year. Although I am Dutch myself everything PSH is associated with English to me. So I need to put a lot more effort into that last one.
Although I am not a writer like you Nance, I have been writing stories during my childhood and puberty. So I love to write, but I also love to create in general. Editing photos, creating MVs. That’s why I entered into a filmclub for also learning to edit my own MVs. However, I need to practice for that and I still have to start. For the time being I’m learning a lot from watching MVs created by other PSH sisters.
As no twin is completely identical to each other, the same goes for the PSH sisters all over the world. Now I am able to follow Weibo and WeChat too with the help of online translator, I can only say that PHS’s sisterhood knows many warmhearted sisters. A huge discovery for an aloof person like I tend to be.myself.
I think all PSH sisters have gone through many personal changes since they have met with PSH, in person or from afar. It is one of his talents as well: to inspire others!
I apologize for this long note. Normally I try to keep it as short as possible. I’ve been very talkative this time.
Wilma, Many thanks for opening up and generously sharing your thoughts and the journey you have had with Park Sihoo-ssi from discovery, to awe, to support, to opening up and now fully diving in to support him. I am so glad you are there for him. Having seen him at his peak, through tumultuous times and now slowly but surely getting back on his feet, I am sure like me, you would be feeling very emotional!
I hope that like you, a lot more of Park Sihoo-ssi fans will walk out of their closets and join us in sisterhood!
Dear Anita, Stefania and Wilma – I love your respective comments in response to Nance’s article on Sisterhood! Indeed we together with Nance and the bunch of other female fans of PSH are all individuals from different national and cultural background and each with distinct personality and interest. Unlikely that our paths would have crossed had it not been for our common love and respect for this amazing and incredibly talented and versatile PSH, a very gifted Korean actor. It is through your regular sharing of information and exchange of viewpoints that I have noted a steady increase in readership of this parksihoossi website. By not remaining as closeted fans but willing to pen a few words although some like me are not prolific writers in the class of Nance and Stefania, we are in fact joining hands in sisterhood to encourage many of his other fans to come out of their closets too in their show of affection for our common interest – PSH. So sisters in this PSH community let’s continue with our daily musings!
I wanted to share what Wilma van Zwietering shared on the main ParkSihooSsi.com website. It is her incredible journey in her discovery of Park Sihoo-ssi. Below is her generous sharing. Thank you for opening up! “The personal touch of your posts are always food for thinking, Nance.

Wilma, Many thanks for opening up and generously sharing your thoughts and the journey you have had with Park Sihoo-ssi from discovery, to awe, to support, to opening up and now fully diving in to support him.

Park Sihoo-ssi 박시후 씨 You’re welcome Nance.^^ For an introvert person I behave very extrovert sometimes. Especially for the more closed fans it is a big step to open up. In that respect, I really hope that my story works as an incentive for others. The PSH sisterhood is very strong. Perhaps through the tumultuous times that we went through together with PSH. Yes, I can feel very emotional when it comes to PSH. Sometimes it’s scary as I already feel certain things coming in advance that are associated with him. But if my heart sings, then I know there is only good news in the air! ♥
To Wilma and Nance, I could not find more appropriate words to express after reading and absorbing every word said by both of you. I can only smile.
Thank you Stefania Lupu Anita Baba Dorothy Ooi Chai Hua Loke Priscilla Lee Yung Bin 刘慧 Chieko Ichihara Vanessa Ma Chuen Yuen and all of you, my sisters at ParkSihooSsi.com. There are so many of you out there it is impossible for me to name all of you. We are definitely part of a sisterhood who share and share alike for great love, Park Sihoo-ssi! Let us continue to be united in our love and support for him. We began the journey, we will travel down the same road and be with him every step of the way! Let us all come out of our closets in full support of our man! Here’s to our sisterhood! Cheers! And big applause to everyone of you, my sisters!
Happy to meet you Wilma also on “Park ShihooSsi.com”, as I was also happy to meet you on “PSH4U” too, with your thorough , interesting, detailed, complete, up-to-date comments about PSH. You. like all of us, need PSH sisterhood, need to count all of us among the truest, most careing and valuble friends. We are connected as women, we are connected as sisters, we are connected in our most noble goal , in supporting our dearest PSH. And it’s because our friendship -female friendship, that our sisterhood can be a powerful force. and this has been proved during the darkest and most painful moments in PSH’s life. Side by side, or far apart, we are sisters connected by heart, we are PSH sisterhood. I admire you also for your wonderful work on your fanblog:”Park Si Hoo – Korean Actor”, which I visit everyday , and which I enjoy very much. I like you also because are a Cancer like me. “We are all equal, in fact we all are different. We are united by the reality…. We are harmoniuos in the reality.”[C.Joy Bell] And this reality is PSH!.
Thanks for your comprehensive response, Stefania. Happy to meet you here too and thanks for visiting my fanblog as well. It’s my experience as an observer that all loyal PSH sisters sooner or later meet at the same places to share their love and support for PSH. Names may differ a little, but most of the time I recognize them through their way of communicating. Our common love is PSH which we all express in our own unique style. What a coincidence that we are both Cancer. One day later and I would have been a Leo though. Many years ago a collegue, a Leo herself, told me I was not a Cancer, because I behaved like a Leo!^^
Wilma, if I’m not mistaken, as Leo starts from July 23, it means that your birthday is on July 22, the last day of Cancer. Mine being on July 11. As you are near Leo,I think your collegue was right , as you may also have Leo signs too: confident, ambitious, generous, loyal, encouraging. Excellent!
You’re well informed Stefania Lupu. Yes, my birthday is July 22 and yours is after the weekend! 😄 As you may know too we are not just our sun sign. My moon is in Scorpio and my rising sign in Virgo. Overall I’m born with a lot of water influences and a lack of fire. So my confidence level is one of my weakest points! And fire signs seem to attract me most of all. Especially, Aries and Sagittarius! Interesting material, don’t you think? Have a nice day!
Wilma it’s astonishing as the fire signs have attraction to Aries. And PSH is an Aries too, and we are so much attracted by him. Before I discovered PSH , I could watch any K. dramas, but when I came across him I ‘ve become addicted to his acting and now I can’t watch anything else without him playing in that drama or movie. This attraction looks like a magnetism.
Wilma van Zwietering and Stefania Lupu, as I just commented a minute ago (my 1st comment ) on this sisterhood topic, meaning it ‘s only now I come to read all your exchanges. I have been telling myself that when I can next revisit the PSH side of my life, I will make sure I thoroughly read or comment on this topic. How coincidental that I catch both your talks in time. Today is 10 July, Stefania Lupu. I have been counting the days since my dog has aggressive cancer and from today is my countdown of 10 days to go to see if he would make it to his 15th birthday.
I am an Cancer too as Stefania Lupu Wilma van Zwietering noted on that 23rd PSH wearing Superdry t-shirt with 23 numbers on that shirt, my own facebook posting. I had my chart detailed analysed before and was told I am an equal strong Leo. In Chinese elements, I have lots of fire, my birthday and hour of birth are fire. So I can’t really fit the soft caring watery Cancer image too much as most people see my 1st demenour as firey blubbly. (But then I guess I am quite a Cancer when the Cancer bit is needed to handle situations and people.) The strong Leo bit is the reason when I stumbled upon PSH and felt I had a strong inside need to seek out and speak out, I thrawed the net and found Nance’s and couldn’t care what the world thinks (usually I am very careful on public social media) and poured my heart and declared my admiration on PSH.
Chai Hua Loke Thanks for coming out so strong. I don’t no know much about my Chinese elements. Out of my head that I’m a metal Ox. I’ve read through that and that fits me more. PSH seems to unlock a lot of hidden traits of us. Have a nice weekend. ☺
Chai Hua Loke I feel the bond with your dog is so strong that he will want to make at least his another birthday with you. Cancer is unpredictable, but as long as your dog can make it he will stay with you ❤
Wilma van Zwietering great my beloved sister is an ox. Most reliable sibling love
Thank you Wilma van Zwietering for all your thoughts about our dog. The recent anxiety open my mind even further of what our dog is capable of. He already has a reputation of Bob The Dog A True Legend by many locals. Yet this latest episode stunt me to the extend how much more human like he is. Human like with the best thoughts for his owners not so much because he is sick
I was about to go Weibo to upload a photo of almond cookies baked in Holland that I excitingly found in my local supermarket yesterday. Wilma van Zwietering. Our town is 4000 population usually pastries cookies are locally made. Suddenly such far away goodies are available in the supermarket 10 houses from my house. Instantly I thought of you. I had eaten half right this moment my hb digging in his share
Chai Hua Loke Almond cookies are addictive. I like them too, but don’t buy them too often. Your hb came just in time to enjoy his share
Wilma van Zwietering The fact that they are crunchy outside but soft crumbly inside already fully captured me, got to add to my drugs cabinet kekeke. I have posted the photo of these cookies in Weibo our PSH family chat group to show you which packet I meant.
Chai Hua Loke I’ve been there. Now I’m going to wash and dress up. And have breakfast. My stomach is calling me!😊
Hope he will make it his 15th birthday, and more!
Chai Hua, quite a nice coincidence three of us in Cancer, but you and Wilma have also strong Leo bits, characteristic for strong personalities.
Thanks Stefania Lupu
Wow! 3 Cancer sisters! All opinionated. All in one community, that is a lot. I am not really into astrology..but this Dragon of a Scorpio just found out from Stefania that a Pisces and Scorpio don’t match! What a let down…! 🙁 But doesn’t stop me loving this brother of mine 🙂
Well, it is not all black and white Nance! Opposites that attract each other may work out very well! Haha and I tend to be very stubborn. So let all the love keep flowing
, Nance, take it easy This incompability may sometimes be compatible. So don’t despair! Continue your love for your beloved one. Shall I mention his name? Your secret is our secret! Ha! Ha!
This sisterhood article is one that I had been meaning to pen a few words but been too caught up in my own world. Our beloved old sick pet dog sufferred panic attack all due to his own mental process of his fear. The last thing that I expected from such an independant dog. Anyway. Here I am to say a few words that : Yes PSH is the ultimate reason for our such amazing discovery of late in our life journey , but the biggest reason for myself how I could continue to spend time to know this wonderful person of PSH (not just because he is the greatest actor), is all because of this page, this place by Nance.
I thought I just wrote this but now can’t find it. I must be having illusion. As I tried to say earlier, as my very 1st comment to this Sisterhood article, that, I told myself once I next have the chance I must visit this particular thread and say something. I had been too caught up in my own world lately having the latest saga of our pet dog sufferring panic attacks, something we never anticipated from a very strong minded self independant a never needy type of dog. Despite his aggressive gum cancer he is doing unbelievable well that amazed the vet including gaining weight and chasing after rabbits. However the latest of full scale anxiety attack totally set me back and think carefully how to handle this side of the palliative care that both the vet and I had not anticipated at all. Long story cut short, it will look very strange if this most relevant article about us fans, the very reason why we are here yet I am absent won’t do. So here I am making sure everyone sees it that Yes, sisterhood is the main reason why I am here, continuingly taking interest on my admiration and respect for this wonderful person PSH (not only a great actor, but a simply beautiful all round person inside out). PSH is the ultimate reason we are here, but sisterhood is the only reason I am here. How often you find the fanship thing sucks especially when fans are all females – the negative things that can come from just that is enough for me to totally stay away. But PSH’s sisterhood is a world that I had been hoping such pure divine good natured human beings exists and our PSH sisterhood proves to my wish such world does exist. Complete strangers get together and thrive and synergise, now that I found this world, I will not let go, no way. PSH’s sisterhood reinforced my most inner wish of that Buddhist saying, 人之初, 性本善. As opposed to the 人之初, 性本惡 saying. PSH and PSH fans are 人之初, 性本善 testimony.
