The Legendary “Queen of Tears” Star That No One Ever Calls By His Real Name 

Actor Park Sung Hoon has become a trending topic on Korean forums lately, not for his exciting new project but for the unique phenomenon surrounding his popularity.

Rather than referring to Park Sung Hoon by his actual name, fans consistently address him by his characters’ names, a trend that began with his breakout role in My Only One.

In the much-loved show, Park took on the role of Jang Go Rae — a character that left such a lasting impression on viewers that many began calling him “Go Rae” instead of Park Sung Hoon.

The same happened with Park’s role in Netflix‘s popular K-Drama The Glory, where he took the role of one of the villains, Jeon Jae Joon.

This tendency only grew with Park’s portrayal of the villain Yoon Eun Sung in the hit K-Drama Queen of Tears. As the main antagonist, his performance was so captivating and memorable that fans still refer to him as “Yoon Eun Sung,” even months after the show’s airing. The character’s popularity propelled Park’s fame to new heights, making him a household name but under the alias rather than his own.

In fact, the actor even started receiving hate comments due to the controversial actions of his character in the show, especially towards the main couple.

Now, with his upcoming role in the highly anticipated sequel to Netflix’s Squid Game, fans are eagerly waiting to see what’s next. Although his character’s details are under wraps, the few glimpses of Park’s transformation for the role have already sparked excitement. Many believe that, just as with his previous roles, this new character will likely give him yet another name for fans to remember him by.
