Actor-singer Park Jihoon showed off his unique charm and expressed deep gratitude to fans.

In the May issue pictorial with fashion magazine 'Singles,' Park Jihoon flawlessly pulled off a modern reinterpretation of hanbok. With a spectrum of expressions and intense eyes, he created an unmistakable aura that instantly drew attention.

In the interview paired with the photoshoot, Park reflected on The King's Warden, which ranks No. 2 among the highest-grossing Korean films of all time. 

He said, "I didn’t expect it to receive this much love. When choosing a project, the most important thing is what kind of feeling we can leave with the audience," adding, "I poured all my energy into filming. It’s a special project to me, and I’m grateful it was embraced so warmly," revealing his deep affection for the film.

He also opened up about reuniting with Wanna One for the first time in seven years. Park shared, "I missed the members, and I decided to join because I wanted to show fans a great side of us again," showing his sincerity toward those precious moments with fans. Regarding filming the reality program WANNA ONE GO: Back to Base, he said, "At first, I worried whether we’d have the same chemistry as before, but that concern was unnecessary. The moment we met, we couldn’t stop laughing—like, laugh-until-your-stomach-hurts levels—while filming," emphasizing their unchanged teamwork.

Finally, Park promised unwavering love to fans, saying, "Without the fans who support me wholeheartedly, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I’ll keep working hard to show you colors that are uniquely mine."

Meanwhile, Park Jihoon stars in the military cooking fantasy drama Chwisabyeong Jeonseori Doeda, which premieres on May 11 via tvN and TVING.
