Small gestures say so much

Park Sihoo-ssi’s small gestures say so much!

A lot of people say “Don’t sweat small stuff”.  To me, it is good to have a macro view especially when you have reached a certain level of seniority both at work and in life. However, the small stuff can actually tell a lot and can make things more interesting and give you deeper perspectives.

Take Park Sihoo-ssi, it is great to watch him in action whether in a drama or movie or during an event. The overall experience will be a good experience. However, if you just watch his small gestures, you will find more depth to his character, whether in reel or real life.

I love watching his small gestures as they say so much about him. During his recent birthday celebration in Buyeo, his little gestures gave away a lot about him as a person.

We were greeted by a supersized Park Sihoo costumed character on arrival at his ancestral home. Who would even think that behind the costume, it just might be the man himself? Being his typical playful self, ever ready for some mischief and to tease his fans, there just might be a chance that he was in that costume 🙂 Was he alluding to it with his just released short video thanking his fans for being at his birthday party? Watch and tell me what you think!

Was it Park Sihoo-ssi himself under the costume?

During the evening main event, he had so many little gestures that endeared him even more in my eyes.

The seating for the evening event was theatre style but unfortunately, the seats were not elevated, so those at the back of the room could hardly see what was happening on stage. Me? I was very lucky…I was in the 2nd last row so he was just a speck of dust from where I sat! Can’t see anything from a distance of at least 20 rows of seats! Yes, the big projection screen was right next to me. But what is the point of watching a screen when you have travelled all that distance to be there in person?

Park Sihoo-ssi realised the problem immediately when they sat him on stage for his first interview. He stood up and gestured for the lady compere to do the same. This way those seated at the back of the room could catch a glimpse of them. And he stood throughout the program! So intuitive and so caring, our man!

Concerned that the proceeding of the event was in Japanese and there was no Chinese translator this time round, he tried to make his Chinese fans feel welcomed using his limited Chinese whenever he could. We loved his accented “我爱你们 I love all of you!” and “好！好！Good! Good!” and more. He must have specially selected the part of his drama “Local Hero” (“Neighborhood Hero”) where he spoke in heavily accented and barely understandable Mandarin. That had his Chinese fans bursting out in laughter!

One of the things I love about him is that he enjoys interacting with his fans off stage while on stage. He would make eye contacts, wave here and there and flash his gorgeous smile on and off. He often got so caught up and not pay attention to the compere. And like a little boy caught off guard by his teacher, you can see the guilt on his face and asking pretty please to repeat the question 🙂

A great actor he is but a really shy guy, particularly when it came to impromptu public actions. He was given envelopes to draw two “missions” to accomplish on stage. Bingo! As luck would have it, he drew the ones for dancing and gwiyomi or what the Koreans called cute gestures. Remember how shy he was to have to do the latter during the press conference for “Cheongdamdong Alice”? Even though I was right at the back of the room, I felt him blushing from head to toe trying to accomplish these missions. Endearingly so 🙂

Then towards the end, as was customary, to the yells of “encore” he obliged and again as was customary, he sang his signature song “Season in the Sun”.  He was a little off key in his singing (err…I am being tactful, when in reality, he was way off :)) He knew it and showed that he knew it by shyly flashing his megawatt smile…yes, all was forgiven for sure with that beautiful, heart-melting smile, Park Sihoo-ssi!

And the most endearing? His escape after the event. He must have forgotten how popular he was with his fans. They just won’t let him off so easily when they knew he was still on site in the event ballroom. Not knowing or more likely not paying attention, he thought he could just open the door and walk out. Hello! He had a shock of his life, greeted by his hoard of fans. Quick reaction had him bouncing right back in, where he was closeted for quite a while before he finally managed a quick escape through the back door, using his parents as decoy! Naughty boy!

Small gestures these, but said so much about our Park Sihoo-ssi. I love his spontaneity and cute gestures! Don’t you?

小动作透露许多

很多人会说：“别担心小事情”。对我来说，当妳在工作和生活中已经达到了一定的资历水平，与宏观的角度看事是好的。然而，小事情其实可以透露许多，可以让事情显得更有趣，给妳更深入的观点。

就拿施厚君，总体来看他在电视剧或电影或活动是非常享受的。如果妳仔细看他的小手势和小动作，妳会更深入的看到，了解他的性格，无论是在视频里演的角色或现实生活中。

我喜欢他那些小手势小动作，因为透露了更多他的想法和感觉。在他最近的扶余生日庆典，他的小动作给我更了解了他的为人，留下了更深的印象，让我更喜欢他。

Park Sihoo-ssi’s 38th birthday celebration

一个超大型的朴施厚大头娃娃在他的祖籍欢迎我们的到来。谁会认为大头娃娃的服装里，竟然会是我们最喜欢的男人呢？典型俏皮的他，是不是找机会恶作剧呢？:) 在那一小段感谢粉丝一起跟他庆祝生日的视频里是不是在暗示他就是大头娃娃呢？看了视频后，请跟我分享妳们的想法！

在晚上生日派对中，他的许多小动作让我感觉他更幽默和可爱。

活动的座位是剧院式，但遗憾的是座椅并没有升高，所以那些坐在房后的粉丝可能看不到舞台上发生什么事情。我？很“幸运”坐在最后第二个排，所以从至少20排座位的距离角度，看他只是一个小颗粒！什么都看不到！是的，大投影屏幕就在我旁边。但是，当妳远到而来，妳绝对不要来看屏幕上的他！

当施厚君坐在舞台上接受第一个采访时，他立刻意识到这个问题。他便站了起来，示意那位女主持人也和他一样站着，这样坐在房后的我们就能看到一些台上的节目。所以他一整晚就在台上站着，没有坐下来。如此直观，有爱心的男士啊！

节目的程序是以日语主持，这回没有中文翻译，他尽可能用他有限的中文说些话，让中粉受到欢迎。我喜欢他那重音的“我爱你们！”和“好！好！”。选择放映在他的新电视剧“小区英雄”（“邻家英雄”）的有趣的一段时，他选择了在澳门酒店拍摄，他演的有重音，勉强可以理解的普通话的服务员的那一段，让他的中国粉丝看了开怀大笑！

Glimpses of Park Sihoo-ssi’s 38th birthday tour event

他经常喜欢在舞台上与他的粉丝互动，喜欢用眼神交流，向粉丝招手，闪烁华丽的笑容。他总是互动的入神，不注意主持人的问题，然后，就像被老师抓到的小男孩，闪现有罪的面孔，要老师重复问题 🙂

虽然是杰出的演员，但他是非常害羞的，特别是要在公众眼球下行动。选择两项“任务”时，他竟然抽中跳舞和gwiyomi或韩国称之为可爱的手势。还记得在“清潭洞爱丽丝”新闻发布会时他对gwiyomi的手势是多么的害羞吗？那晚即使我是坐在房后都能感觉到他从头到脚的尴尬害羞:)

接尾时，按照惯例在“encore再来”的叫喊声下，他唱他的招牌歌曲“在阳光的季节Season in the Sun”。他的演唱有点跑调（其实，不是那么一点点，而是十分跑调 🙂 他知道，并表明他知道而害羞地闪着他那迷人的微笑……是的，在迷人的微笑下，一切都可以原谅的施厚君！

而最可爱的？活动结束后，他想逃避。他忘了自己是多么被粉丝欢迎。知道他还在活动现场，她们那里会轻易的让他消失呢。不知道或更可能没有注意到，他一打开门正要走出去，就被粉丝们的热烈迎接包围，让他蹦右后卫，赶紧再回场所躲了好一阵子，然后用他父母当诱饵，终于从后门快速逃离！淘气的小男孩！

小手势小动作让我们更深入的了解我们的施厚君。我喜欢他的小动作和手势！你喜欢吗？
