The actor communication platform 'Hiand' announced its evolution into a global fan community through its grand opening, while also sharing the news of Park Hyung-sik's joining as the first star of 2025.
‘Hiand’ is an actor communication platform launched in November last year. Since its launch, actors Lee Jong-suk, Park Seo-joon, and Ji Chang-wook began communicating with fans, followed by the addition of actors Hwang In-yeop, Woo Do-hwan, Byun Yo-han, and Jin Young, establishing itself as a hot platform among actor fandoms. After a successful two-month pre-launch period, Hiand announced its grand opening at the start of 2025. It will officially leap into a global fan community, starting with the opening of the 'Star Lounge', where stars and fans can exchange news.
Following the grand opening, a 'Star Lounge' will be established, allowing fans to see news and communications from stars at a glance. This page will gather news about actors' new projects, daily life, and promotional posts, becoming a special space where fans can be the first to hear about their favorite stars. In particular, it is expected to become a communication platform where news from actors and posts from fans will come together, positioning itself as a global portal site and fan community site dedicated to each actor.
With Park Hyung-sik's joining, 'Hiand' allows fans worldwide to communicate more closely with actors, marking a strong start for 2025. Park Hyung-sik has captured the hearts of global fans with his diverse works that span romance and genre pieces. Last year, he met fans in five cities, including Hong Kong, Seoul, Jakarta, Manila, and Tokyo, through his Asia tour fan meeting 'SIKcret Time'. He also established an official fan club in Japan, where over 13,000 fans gathered for the fan club launch events in Osaka and Tokyo, showcasing his immense popularity.
Receiving great love from global fans, Park Hyung-sik is set to make a bold acting transformation in the new year with the SBS drama 'Treasure Island' and STUDIO X+U's 'Twelve', raising fans' expectations once again. In 'Treasure Island', he plays the protagonist Seo Dong-joo, who hides ambitions to swallow the Daesan Group, while in 'Twelve', he appears as the evil spirit 'Ogui', who confronts angels with ruthless power. As 2025 approaches, expectations are high for Park Hyung-sik's activities as the first star of 'Hiand', where he will communicate more closely with fans alongside his projects. The DM service for Park Hyung-sik on Hiand will be available through the mobile app starting January 8, 2025, at 1 PM. A special event to celebrate Park Hyung-sik's joining Hiand will also be held, with more details available on the Hiand website (hiand.com) and mobile app.
A Hiand representative stated, “We are delighted to have actor Park Hyung-sik, who captivates viewers with new acting transformations and irreplaceable charm in every project. We will actively support him as he communicates more closely with global fans and provides a special fan experience, like a unique gift to open 2025.” They added, “Through the Hiand Star Lounge, we will enhance communication between fans and actors, as well as gather news and content about actors, making Hiand the first place to deliver news about 'my actor'.”
Hiand has welcomed a total of eight stars within about two months of its pre-launch, establishing itself as a representative fandom platform for global actor fandoms. Hiand can be downloaded for free via the Google Play app and Apple App Store.
