The Park Hyo Shin Effect


So…PHS is scheduled to perform at the GreenSeoul festival on May 18th (2013, Google, NOT 2009).  The above pic is how Google’s wonderful (NOT!!) translate app translates “Nanji Hangang Park.”  Google must have it in for me.  I live a few hours away from Indianapolis and if Park Hyo Shin was going to be there I would just…just…freekin FLIP OUT!  Damn you Google translate.  I mean, I appreciate that you exist, but sometimes, I swear, you just take things TOO FAR.


The advertising poster for Park Hyo Shin’s upcoming Soultree Fan Club fanmeeting, entitled “Enchanted Forest,” set for May 4, 2013. Interpark shows that there’s still 131 seats left, but I doubt that will last for long…  
If you’re an international fan of PHS and not an (official) member of Soultree, do not despair!  Park Hyo Shin Planet International Fan Forum is hosting an online fanmeeting for those of us who live too far away on the very same day!  How cool is that, huh???  ^.^  For more info, go here.  I’ll be there!  We can share in the spirit of PHS, even if we cannot be in his presence.  Peace and

KDrama Love @ The Park Hyo Shin Effect ~ I’m Sorry, I Love You ~


Featuring female lead, the oh-so-lovely Lim Soo Jung.


Lim Soo Jung Official Website


Some movies you may have seen her in:


A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) - A haunting, psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.


I’m a Cyborg, But That’s Ok (2006) - A humorous indie film also starring Bi/Rain that demonstrates how love can be found anywhere, even in a mental hospital.


These are both GREAT films, and you can probably find both movies online with English subtitles if you do a search.

Click the banner to go to this week’s Featured English Cover “The Dance,” as performed by Park Hyo Shin and saxophonist Dave Koz.  There’s some kind of magical energy that emerges when a musician and a singer display such harmony together.  You don’t want to miss it!  Peace and

Park Hyo Shin and Kim Bum Soo ~ From the album Soul Tree (2004).


This is one of my favorite songs!  It’s upbeat and full of love.  If you read the lyrics, you will see that it tells the story of two friends who cherish each other, and hope in their hearts that no matter what happens in life, they will always be friends.  Such sweet sentiments.  Of course the fact that it is sung by two of the very BEST singers in Korea only makes it better!  Lyrics below…


Park Hyo Shin - 친구라는건 / Chinguraneun Gon / A Friend…



학교를 졸업하고 넥타일 처음 매고
Hakyorul jorobhago negtail choum mego 
Graduated school, put on a necktie for the first time 

우리 학교 앞 그 골목 주점에 앉았지
uri hakyo aph gu golmog jujome anjaji 
And I’m sitting in this place on the streets of our school 

한잔씩 채워 가는 술잔에 담긴 얘기
hanjanshig chewo ganun suljane damgin yegi 
The stories going around the drinks on the table 

우리 지난 날 꾸었던 꿈들을 꺼냈지
uri jinan nal kuodon kumdurul koneji 
We took out our past dreams of the old days 



정말 얼마만인거니 알게 모르게 변한 너
Jongmal olma maningoni alge moruge byonhan no 
How long has it actually been? 

허나 시간이 우릴 데려가면
hona shigani uril deryogamyon 
You changed so unexpectedly. 

우리는 예전의 우리가 되지 언제나 널 생각 했어
urinun yejone uriga doeji onjena nol senggag hesso 
But if time takes us away, 
We become our old selves 



힘에 겨운 세상을 만날 때
Hime gyoun sesangul mannal te 
I always thought of you, 
Whenever we encountered the hardships of this world 

떠 오른건 처음이 너였어
to orungon choumi noyosso 
The first thing that popped up in my mind was you 

십년후에 십년을 얹어 간데도
shibnyonhue shibnyonul onjo gandedo 
Ten years later, even if we forget those ten years 

우리 마음은 이대로 변하지마
uri maumun idero byonhajima 
Lets hope our hearts will never change 



사랑에 빠졌다고 사진을 꺼내는 너
Sarange pajyodago sajinul konenun no 
You say you’re in love, And you take out a picture 


그녀 말하며 웃는 널 보니 나도 설레
gunyo marhamyo udnun nol boni nado solle 
You laugh as you talk about her, I am happy for you as I look at you 

이별을 마시면서 눈물을 쏟지 않길
ibyorul mashimyonso nunmurul sogji ahngil 
I hope you never meet separation and shed tears 

이젠 그녀와 행복한 사랑을 바랄께
ijen gunyowa hengboghan sarangul baralke 
I will hope for a happy love with her 



나의 세상과 시간에 항상 들어와 있는 너
Naui sesanggwa shigane hangsang durowa inun no 
You are always in my world and in my time 

혼자 있어도 가슴 뜨거운 건
honja issodo gasum togoun gon 
Something that makes my heart burn 

언제나 함께인 친구란 말 뿐 언제나 널 생각했어
onjena hamkein chinguran mal pun onjena nol senggaghesso 
Is the word, “friend” that will always be there, I always thought of you 

힘에 겨운 세상을 만날 때 떠오른 건 처음이 너였어
Hime gyoun sesangul mannal te to orun gon choumi noyosso
Whenever we encountered the hardships of this world, The first thing that popped up in my mind was you 

십년후에 십년을 얹어 간데도
shibnyonhue shibnyonul onjo gandedo 
Ten years later, even if we forget those ten years 

우리 마음은 이대로 변하지마
uri maumun idero byonhajima 
Lets hope our hearts will never change 

*
네가 있어서 좋은 걸 우린 언제나 친구야
Nega issoso johun gol urin onjena chinguya 
Its so good that you are here, We will always be friends 
*repeat 

서로 같은 꿈으로 뭉쳤던 우리
soro gathun kumuro mungchyodon uri 
We were always together with our dreams 

다른 세상을 가지만 함께 인걸
darun sesangul gajiman hamke ingol 
We went to different worlds, But we were always together 

*repeat

christinnnnnne asked: Does Park Hyo Shin have a fancafe? I can't seem to find it if he does have one. ><

If you are talking about Daum, there is one for Park Hyo Shin, as well as for Soultree 2013.  Links below:  

http://cafe.daum.net/parkhyoshin (This one seems to be pretty active)

http://cafe.daum.net/soultree2013 (This one might only be for the recent membership drive that ended in early April)

Keep in mind that you must have a membership in order to view posts and/or comment in the Daum cafes.

Enjoy! ^.^

Park Hyo Shin performs “Snowflower” on April 14, 2013 at LOTTE Department Store.



Review of I'm Sorry, I Love You" from Asian Media Critics

Ok, I’m kind of taking a short cut here by posting a link to another blog’s review instead of writing my own.  But why write another review when this one already says everything I’d say?  (Today, anyway.)

Exotica @ The Park Hyo Shin Effect ~ Maple Loo ~ March 2013


For the first time, Soultrees, I must mark one of my posts as Not Safe For Work.  I could not, however, resist posting this stunning video, which made my own PHS-loving mouth fall open in awe.  Tell me, Soultrees, have you ever thought about pole-dancing to a Park Hyo Shin song? Well this lovely lady has!  I am in awe of her grace, artistry, acrobatics, beauty, and strength.  I almost wish I could do that stuff.  I hope you can appreciate this young woman’s interpretation of Snowflower.  


If you find pole-dancing to be offensive, no judgment here, but also no apologies for the post.  I see it as art, plain and simple.  Park Hyo Shin’s music speaks to all.  That is, after all, The Park Hyo Shin Effect.  Peace to all, and 


~~~Hyo Shin Love!~~~

Korean Culture @ The Park Hyo Shin Effect ~ Korean High School Documentary ~ Kelley Katzenmeyer


A documentary film that is currently in the works about high school students in South Korea, their study habits, their issues, etc.  The producer reports on her website that she expects the film to be completed this year.  You can find out more at http://www.koreanhighschool.com/



Why did I post this?  When Soultree USA (formerly known as Only Hyo Shin USA) was initially founded, the original mantra was “a humble English language blog about Park Hyo Shin and Park Hyo Shin related stuff” (or something like that, it was two years ago…so sue me :)  I am simply a humble U.S. citizen not of Korean descent, so I had, (and personally think that I still have) a huge learning curve about the language and the culture of South Korea.  I am continuing to learn as much as I can, and will be talking about those things more often than I have in the past. 


~~~Hyo Shin Love!~~~




A short video to encourage international Soultrees to sign the petition to let Jellyfish Entertainment know that we want Park Hyo Shin’s concerts on DVD.  Soultree USA did not make this video, however, we strongly support the efforts of all Soultrees who work to bring Park Hyo Shin closer to those of us who live so far away from South Korea.  Please follow the link below to sign the petition.  Thanks and 

~~~Hyo Shin Love!~~~

Fan Art @ The Park Hyo Shin Effect featuring ~ samanthaxsam ~ Pub. April 2013.


I really like this ‘lil compilation picture of Park Hyo Shin.  The pics of him from that particular photo shoot are versatile, and allow the user to experiment in fun ways.  The shades of orange on top of the bright turquoise really pop, and complements the more demure dark blue and white shades that grace Hyo Shin.  


Nice job Samantha!


~~~Hyo Shin Love!~~~
