I have those good memories.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Photo courtesy of PublicityAsia" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2024/life/01/09/20240109-via-publicityasia-2.jpg"/><figcaption>Korean actor Park Hyung-sik. <em>Photo courtesy of PublicityAsia</em></figcaption></figure></div><div><strong>Q: It&#x27;s already 2024. What goals would you like to achieve this year?</strong></div><p>The goal for me this year is to finish my fan meeting successfully. If there&#x27;s a given opportunity, I&#x27;d like to showcase myself more to you guys through more projects.</p><div><strong>Q: Given the chance to spend a long vacation anywhere in the world, where would you like to go and why?</strong></div><p>I have a lot of countries coming up in mind, but there are many good islands in the Philippines that I could visit. I could also try fishing, scuba diving and many other stuff. So if there&#x27;s a given opportunity, I&#x27;d like to take a long holiday in the Philippines.</p><div><strong>Q: Among the works that you have done, which project was the most memorable and why?</strong></div><p>The recent drama that I filmed, &quot;Doctor Slump,&quot; will be broadcasted soon and I think this is a drama that I actually relate to a lot. I laughed the most while actually filming it. So I guess you guys can expect much from it.</p><div><strong>Q: Which of the many characters that you&#x27;ve played resembles you the most?</strong></div><p>Every character that I acted during my projects somehow portrays parts of my [personal] character. But I guess the most relatable character that has my personality is Ahn Min-hyuk from &quot;Strong Girl Do Bong-soon.&quot; The way that he jokes around, it actually portrays myself when I&#x27;m with my friends.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/10/16/23/park-bo-young-park-hyung-sik-reunite-in-strong-girl-nam-soon">Park Bo-young, Park Hyung-sik reunite for &#x27;Strong Girl Nam-soon&#x27; cameo</a></li></ul><div><strong>Q: As you mentioned, you are set to star in &quot;Doctor Slump.&quot; What can fans look forward to in your new role as Yeo Jeong-woo?</strong></div><p>&quot;Doctor Slump&quot; carries a message for people experiencing a slump in this kind of busy, modern society right now.
