Singer-actor Park Ji-hoon, who has sparked a ‘Danjong syndrome’, showcased a daring change in style ahead of returning to his main career.
On the 17th, Park Ji-hoon posted a photo on his social media account along with the short phrase “Hate it!”. In the photo released, Park Ji-hoon breaks away from his usual calm black hair, clutching his brightly bleached hair with a frown, drawing fans’ attention.
This transformation coincides with the recent news of his solo comeback, further heightening expectations. His agency YY Entertainment stated on the 5th, “Park Ji-hoon is preparing a solo album with the goal of a comeback in April.” The new record will be his first release in about three years since the 2023 7th mini album ‘Blank or Black(Blank or Black)’, and it is expected to be a big gift for fans who have long waited to see Park Ji-hoon on stage.
Park Ji-hoon has recently been setting remarkable milestones on the big screen. Director Jang Hang-jun’s film ‘The Man Who Lives With the King’, in which he delivered a powerful performance as ‘Danjong’, has recorded 13.6 million moviegoers as of the 17th, rewriting the history of Korean cinema. Surpassing 13 million admissions is a record held by only eight films, including ‘Myeongnyang’, ‘Extreme Job’, and ‘Spring in Seoul’, and through this work, Park Ji-hoon has stood tall as the leading figure of the ‘Danjong syndrome’, beyond being merely a ‘ten-million actor’.
Having delicately portrayed the tragic Danjong at Cheongnyeongpo in Yeongwol, the place of exile, moving the nation to tears, Park Ji-hoon is now ready to return to his glamorous main occupation as an idol and go for the public’s hearts once again. In addition, with news of a comeback to reality variety shows together with Wanna One members, the entertainment industry in the first half of the year truly looks set to become a ‘Park Ji-hoon era’.
With the ‘Danjong oppa’ who has dominated the big screen now sporting a striking bleached hairstyle, all eyes in the April music scene are on what his first solo stage in three years will look like.
