Park Ji-hoon, a former member of the project group Wanna One, has been reborn as a "10 million actor" and a "small giant" behind Lim Si-wan.

Park Ji-hoon is surprisingly taking a "parallel theory" move with "role model" Lim Si-wan. At the interview to mark the release of the movie 'What a Beautiful Audrey' in the World' in October 2024, he said, "My image as a singer is still strong because I got to make my name known as Wanna One, but I want to be recognized as 'Learning' and 'Good at Everything' just by the name like Lim Si-wan. I feel more amazing and respectful because there is a similar part of the path I walked on."

Just about a year later, Park Ji-hoon succeeded 10 million actor Lim Si-wan, the first "idol-turned-idol" actor. After debuting as the children of the group Empire in 2010, Lim Si-wan made his name as an actor by appearing in a box office hit with more than 42% ratings called the MBC drama "Moon Embracing the Sun" (2012). The following year, he instantly rose to the ranks of "10 million actors" with his first commercial film "The Attorney" (2013) and wrote the myth of "acting idol."

Park Ji-hoon was also a child, but he first made a public impression as Wanna One, a project group of Mnet's "Produce 101 Season 2" in 2017, and then succeeded as an "acting idol." He also took a full-fledged "acting idol" step and engraved the representative work of Wave's original "Class 1" (2022) in filmography.

Above all, Park Ji-hoon also made a phenomenal achievement by winning the title of "10 million actors" upon his debut in a commercial film. In the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" (hereinafter referred to as "The King of Kings"), he played the role of King Danjong, the king of misfortune, and caused a syndrome in the theater, and has surpassed the "10 million" audience. As of the 29th, the cumulative number of viewers exceeded 15.42 million and rose to third place in the all-time box office ranking.

In particular, just as Lim Si-wan tried to lose extreme weight up to 49kg for "The Attorney," Park Ji-hoon also showed his fighting spirit of losing 15kg to "The Prince."

In addition, Lim Si-wan and Park Ji-hoon are drawing attention side by side because they have a ripple effect that shakes the trend of the 190-cm-tall "Moon Jjaknam" that hit the small screen. They are truly exuding the dignity of a 'small giant' with their acting skills doing their best in each work. No matter how popular the "door guy" actors are, I wonder who will not be overwhelmed by the luxury performance of Lim Si-wan and Park Ji-hoon.

Park Ji-hoon, who has risen to the top of his form, is expected to surprise the public once again with the new OTT TVing original series "Becoming a legend of a foodie" in May.
