Park Shi Hoo to Make First Comeback in 2014 with Chinese Movie Fragrant Scent

In a rather quiet but unsurprisingly news reveal, embattled Korean actor Park Shi Hoo has signed on to act in a art house Chinese filmed tentatively called Fragrant Scent (香氣). Park Shi Hoo has actually been doing some activities since his rape allegation charges went away in late Spring though he had long stay in the US to get away from the media circus in Korea. Sometimes the means do not justify the ends and the press coverage of his rape case was one of those situations where even it didn’t matter anymore whether he was innocent or guilty both sides were going to get taken down in the end. Park Shi Hoo recently held a small photography exhibition in Japan where he is still very popular, showcasing pictures he took as a budding photographer. He also filmed a photo book of his own of the type that stars do as collector’s items for their fans. All of this sounds like a smart career choice since he can still remain active for his fans who seek out his latest works without acting which would lead to the general public opining on his scandal and the like. His agency has revealed that offers and scripts continue to pour in for him and its been Park Shi Hoo that has been very picky and selective with his comeback project. I figured he’d do something abroad and the most likely choice is of course in China where plenty of Korean actors and actresses can act in movies and dramas since its all dubbed anyways. I reckon some Chinese dialects are as foreign to some Chinese ears as Korean is to Mandarin Chinese speakers. No word yet on what the movie is about but Park Shi Hoo will be playing an interior designer of Korean ethnicity so he might not need to be dubbed and will speak his lines in Korean and if he does speak some Chinese dialogue his Korean accent will be acceptable since his character is Korean. The movie is by Hong Kong director Jessey Tseng who directed an award-winning art house film Big Blue Lake back in 2011.

 

Fragrant Scent will start filming in January of 2014 so Park Shi Hoo will be in China for a few months along with filming in Jeju.

    • the girl was not drunk..it was just 2 bottle of soju and the drug test result from her blood and urine was negative (considering that it comes from the very police who's always on the girl's side). the witnesses from the bar said she was sober enough to walk down the stairs/long ladder and then suddenly drunk in the elevator with cctv? ahmmnn...not to mention the exchanges of text messages from the girl and the other person that was with them that night containing her saying she'll put up a good acting skill in front of the police and that she should have asked more money etc... PSH is too handsome to be so despirate for just a pretty girl...

      • I agree. PSH fighting!!!
        Everybody ever done something wrong. Forgive them please!!!
        It is very petty if PSH ruins bcause of the unconfirm case.
        I hope it'll lead to a succesfull comeback.

    • Me too, It's really sad considering I loved him so much in Family's honor. That scandal made me see him in different light regardless of how it turn out in the end.

    • I do not think any rape victim would settle for an amount of money especially after her reputation is ruined. Not only that, but her debut will not happen either. After loosing her honor, being raped and losing her hope for a future career she simply accepted to settle the case... If she really was a victim she would not feel happy until he was behind bars serving time for his crime. The girl was a victimiser with a premeditated design to get some money.

      I have been sexually abused and I can tell you from a victims point of view that she was lying and PSH only settled with her because the damage to his reputation was too much despite due to her lies.

      I hope people will be able to see him as the person her really is not as the person portrayed by Miss A. and the media that enjoys chewing on people to make a sale.

      Looking forward to seeing PSH in new works and hopefully he will garner the respect he deserves as an actor and as a human being.

      • I really like PSH.he is a good actor and a humble person,handsome than e word handsome itself.i think dat people jealous him dat is y they plan to get him down.No matter wat he will still shine again.FIGHTING PSH.
        I am an AFRICAN bt i feel for him.he will surely shine again.

      • Thank you for your perspective, it's the most balanced of all I've read.
        I've just discovered actor Park Si-Hoo. I've been trying to weigh in on the truth of this scandal. Again, thank you!

  • I once had a friend who accused this guy of rape, I was on her side, but in the end, it was a lie and i learned a very good lesson about people and their ambitions. She did it to get his attention because she wanted to get back with him, and when he said no, she cried rape and got everyone involved. It was much later that she confessed the rape never happened and that killed our friendship. So when I hear stories like his, it makes me skeptical of the accuser. PSH, keep your chin up, this too shall pass.

    • For every person who lies about rape, there are hundreds and thousands of people who don't report it, who keep it inside because they're too scared to find out that no one believes them. The only thing wrong that happened here was the media frenzy before anything was confirmed by the police, which lead to the whole situation being bad news for everyone involved.

      Anyway, I hope you choose not to be skeptical of the accuser in the sad chance you have to experience something like this again. As for PSH, I make no claims for or against him.

    • That´s horrible!
      You know what though? I am 100 percent sure that you know more actual victims of rape than you know women who lied about having been raped. They just might have chosen to not tell you in particular or anyone at all.

    • err..that does not mean anything that he was being framed. like others have said, more rape victims that those who were being wrongly accused of raping. sounds just another his typical fan-girling excuse

    • Yes, I recall hearing something like that too - the guy's name was Joseph, and the accuser's name was Potiphar's wife. My point is, there is even a false rape story in the Bible, but it doesn't change the fact that there are real rapes and that many of them go unreported for just this reason.
      I don't know if PSH was really a rapist or not, but it is obvious that a) his behavior was sketch at the very least and b) he has very, very good handlers now. It was a wise move, perhaps born out of desperation, to ditch his brother as his manager and go with a reputable firm that could do damage control, get rid of the rape accusation, and ease him back into the public consciousness with little inoffensive baby steps like a photobook and a Chinese movie.
      I can never watch him again, even though I hold a grudging respect for his management.

  • Pass, please. I will never be able to view PSH in a positive light anymore, not that I was able to appreciate any of his works as an actor anyway.

    • Please don't say girl who 'cried rape' since it was never really established either way. It is entirely possible that she was raped, so let's show a little decency in the matter. Although I agree, I hope that she is able to move on.

  • fighting psh! a best actor is always the best actor!

    be careful of jealous, ambitious envious people! go fighting!!!
