The man who returns from nadir! Warm Male Park Si Hoo’s comeback strike
從谷底回來的男人!暖男朴施厚回歸出擊
Remember the warm oppa who starred in a series of hit Korean dramas like “Prosecutor Princess”, “The Princess’s Man”, “Cheongdam-dong Alice”, etc. — Park Si Hoo? Many fans are aware that he who started from the stage and worked his way up through much difficulties from #2 actor to #1 actor, and just as he was winning many acting prizes and coming into his own, he almost disappeared from the entertainment world because of a sex scandal in 2013, as a result of which his image was tarnished and his career nosedived. Although the case was long over, it is very difficult for him to rebuild his image.
還記得演出過《檢察官公主》、《公主的男人》、《清潭洞愛莉絲》等多部火紅韓劇的溫暖系歐爸─朴施厚(박시후)嗎?相信很多粉絲都很清楚,他以舞台劇出道,從男二角色好不容易爬到男一,漸漸嶄露頭角、成為獲獎無數的大勢演員時,卻在2013年發生了性侵醜聞案,負面形象讓演藝事業一度中斷,朴施厚整個人幾乎是消失在演藝圈內,雖然案件早已落幕,但要重新建立起形象卻十分困難。
In 2014 he had only one movie “Scent”, but in early 2015 we finally heard news of Park Si Hoo. He switched from actor to singer and released a single in Japan called “Kimiwo”. This CD entered the popular charts at No.1 on the day of its release and also reached No.2 in general sales of albums, making tremendous impact!
在2014年只有一部電影作品《香氣》的朴施厚,在2015年初終於聽到他的消息,他從演員轉戰歌手身份,在日本公開發行了首張單曲專輯《KIMIWO》,發行日當天就登上人氣排行榜首位,專輯銷售量也達到第二,獲得了熱烈迴響!
When he heard the news, Park Si Hoo expressed his feelings: “It is incredible that I could release an album, and at the same time I felt very moved. This time especially I was singing in Japanese and not Korean, and it was more difficult. But just thinking of my fans who waited for me, I felt so full of gratitude, so I sang with sincerity and dedication.”
得知消息後,朴施厚十分感動的表示:「我能夠推出正式專輯,真的是一件難以置信的事情,同時也覺得很感動。尤其這次還是唱日文不是韓文,困難度又更高,但想到等待我的粉絲,就有滿滿的感謝,所以我會抱著真誠的心努力唱歌。」

Apart from his all-new appearance on the music scene, Park Si Hoo will also have a new movie. Recently he and Yoon Eun Hye (who has not been in a movie for 3 years) played the male and female leads respectively in the movie “Love After Love”. This movie is about a man who does not know how to cherish love until he loses his woman which makes him regret immensely. The movie is in its final stages of shooting [ED: actually finished already]. We are looking forward to the opening of this movie and can’t wait to see the fine acting of these two actors!
除了音樂上有全新表現外,在今年也將會有新電影與大家見面了~最近朴施厚也與睽違電影3年多的女主角尹恩惠合作演出電影《愛後愛》(사랑후애),內容描述一個不懂得珍惜愛情的男人,等到失去女主角後才感到後悔不已。電影目前已經拍攝到最後階段,妞編輯也很期待《愛後愛》上映,迫不及待想看到兩位的精湛演技!
Before the movie opens, let us review PSH’s classic works!
在新電影公開前,我們一起先來回顧朴施厚的經典作品吧!
“Iljimae” (as Sihoo) / 一枝梅 (飾演 小石頭)
Although PSH is only the No.2 actor, his acting as Sihoo is perfect.
雖然是男二,但小石頭一角演得深情到位。
“Prosecutor Princess” (as Seo In Woo) / 檢察官公主 (飾演 徐仁優)
This is Seo Byun the “Smiling Machine” who drives a lot of girls crazy!!!
當時風靡少女的「殺人微笑機器」徐辯啊!!!
“The Princess’s Man” (as Kim Seung Yoo) / 公主的男人 (飾演 金承琉)
The editor likes this Seung Yoo most – with his hair flying all over the place
編輯最喜歡這披頭散髮(喂)時期的帥氣扮相。
“Cheongdam-dong Alice” (as Cha Seung Jo) / 清潭洞愛莉絲 (飾演 車勝祖)
Seung Jo – sometimes hilarious, sometimes dashing ~
時而搞笑時而帥氣的勝祖啊~
He fell from the zenith to nadir, and now Park Si Hoo is taking baby steps trying to return to the entertainment circle. Although he may still have a long road ahead of him, and also there may still be questions from others, we hope Park Si Hoo will cherish himself and his fans who support him (this Editor is a diehard fan!) and start afresh!
從頂端掉落谷底,現在朴施厚正在一步步努力回歸演藝圈,雖然可能還有很長的路要走,也同樣還會受到外界諸多質疑,但希望朴施厚能更加珍惜自身與支持他的粉絲(編輯就是鐵粉之ㄧ啊~嗚嗚),好好重新再出發!
