Park Jihoon Dominates Music, Acting, and Variety Shows

Park Ji-hoon, who rose to stardom with the film 'The King and the Man,' drawing over 16.73 million viewers, is continuing his multifaceted career with his musical comeback and the reveal of his next acting project. Park Ji-hoon, who received critical acclaim for his acting as King Danjong Yi Hong-wi in the film, made his return to his primary profession as a singer on the 29th, riding the wave of the 'King and the Man' syndrome.

Park Ji-hoon's first single album, 'RE:FLECT', marks his comeback after a three-year hiatus since his mini-album 'Blank or Black' released in April 2023. This album reflects on past times and emotions, looking back at the present self, and expresses various emotional nuances with Park Ji-hoon's unique delicate sensibility.

The title track, 'Bodyelse', is a medium pop dance song that blends dreamy synthesizers with emotional guitar riffs. It captures the moment of realizing that 'you' were the source of unfamiliar emotions within a familiar daily life. Immediately after its release, the song made its presence felt on major music charts such as Melon TOP100 and HOT100, and the included tracks 'Watercolor' and 'I Can't Hold Your Hand Anymore' also successfully charted.

Park Ji-hoon will begin his music show promotions by unveiling the stage for 'Bodyelse' for the first time on Mnet's 'M Countdown' on the 30th. This performance is expected to vividly convey the song's atmosphere through precise yet fluid dance moves and sophisticated stage direction.

He will also continue his acting activities. Park Ji-hoon is set to return to the small screen on May 11th through the TVING original drama 'The Legend of the Kitchen Soldier'. This drama is a military cooking fantasy that depicts the transformation of Private Kang Sung-jae (played by Park Ji-hoon), who wields a kitchen knife instead of a gun, into a 'legendary kitchen soldier'. Park Ji-hoon is taking on the role of kitchen soldier Kang Sung-jae and is focusing on this new challenge, dedicating himself to cooking practice before filming.
