Interview by www.magazinet.co.kr
Park Sihoo, I'm... on September 2007
My name is Park Si-hoo, my real name is Park Pyeong-ho.
The name Park sihoo has been used since around 2003. It is what a principal of a prayer house gave. To interpret his name, Si means Take Pity on the Poor and Hoo means Deeply Warmhearted. In the meantime, the company head would sometimes call my name in the interpretation of Si into At Last and Hu into King. (sihoo smiles.)
My birthday is Feb 15, 1978 (according to the lunar calendar). A constellation is Aquarius.
(p.s sihoo'S birthday is April 03 according to the solar calendar)
My type of blood is B. In fact, I don’t understand why ladies avoid B type of man. A certain senior I know hid his real type of blood in daily conversation, (sihoo smiles,) though he was good in character.
My birth place is Seoul. As soon as I was born, my family went to Buyeo Chungcheong Province and I grew there all along. In the city associative of the River Geum, the River Baekma, tree thousand court ladies, etc., I took lessons in a classroom of 10 members. After school, I would catch frogs and swim in the stream in my childhood. So my childhood friends would make fun of me at times, saying “A rural guy plays like a successor to a big businessman.” (sihoo smiles.)
My performance for the first time was at 1997, in the Yisangpa Theater in the youth town of Daehak-ro. At my age of 20 when I was so eager to participate in performance, I came to Seoul with no definite object.
My major was the studies of Public Administration, and yet I was a theatrical club member at university.
My year number of entrance is 95. I relatively entered school at an age earlier, who is among the generation fond of Drama 'Stars in My Heart'. (sihoo smiles.)
My father had entertainment activities such as CF and fashion model. As I said I was going to join the acting circles, he gave me a hard time saying “How on earth does a person like you do such a thing?” (sihoo smiles,) he has often since been encouraging and monitoring me.
Living in Seoul, my mother has a hard time supporting her sons. My son is a baseball player. Having finished his military service as a public personnel agent some while ago, he will return to his profession in September. In the sense that he learnt Sports Massage as a sub-major, he kneads my body parts for relaxation before I go shooting. All family members think my brother would have bigger success than me. (sihoo smiles.)
I work out a lot in usual times. I like fitness, and learnt Yoga and abdominal respiration too. I don’t work out these days being busy. Instead, I go to multiplex cinema alone early in the morning so that I usually watch a movie quietly.
I have once lived in a fitness club. Since a friend whose room I hung upon suddenly went to military service, I had to live on the beverage boxes spread in an open space under the stairs of the fitness club for about a year and a half. When raining, water gathered (sihoo smiles.) It feels like that occasion is just yesterday.
It is a fitness club in Bangbae-dong area. If still remaining, I should like to go. The time was one of my loneliest days alone. Since I went to the extent of leaving home for acting, I spent time there working because I didn’t wanted to be a burden.
There were many times when I failed to adapt to Seoul life. One occasion was, when I moved into a new house, the house owner didn’t let me in, because I couldn’t withdraw security deposit due to bank time. That time, I had an impression that Seoul is this sort of place. (sihoo smiles.)
Because me of the past, I think I have me of the present. I don’t regret because things are bygone anyhow. If I made mistakes, I think those mistakes rather made the present me.
This is one for the first time just now for me. Since I am entrusted with a main character, I am in the mood that I go into the beginning of profession.
One of the regrets is that I didn’t have a time to travel overseas when I was younger. Not meaning such as album photographing, yet I regret I didn’t have any random backpacking trip. For, I couldn’t have done, except for those times.
I have been to Korean mountains as many as possible through family trip. I like traveling.
I should like to make a tour round the world through motorbike. I have a scooter at home. Haha.
I think a perfect neighbor is a comfortable neighbor after all, a neighor like a friend whom I can see without reserve.
