What bitter experiences did Han Geng have in Korea?

Han Geng stood out in the SM auditions with a ratio of 3000:1, and became a trainee under the Korean SM company with two other Chinese. Life in South Korea is like military training. Several boys live in a dormitory and only have 4 hours of sleep every day. They have to learn dance and practice vocal music. The rest of the time, Han Geng also has to learn languages. The company refused to apply for a work visa for him for a long time and delayed him with a tourist visa (it seems that the company was afraid of spending money). Han Geng's monthly living expenses should be 400,000 won, but it is said that he was only given half. As long as you understand the consumption level of South Korea Everyone knows that buying a bottle of water there costs tens of thousands of won, and this little money is not enough to do anything. And since he is a foreigner, he has no medical insurance and cannot afford to get sick. Fortunately, he was in good health at that time, so he stayed in Korea for two years and finally made it to the day of his debut. When Han Geng first debuted, he was the main member of the 12-member super-large group Super Junior. His first hit song was TWINS. To be fair, this was his most dazzling period. He had black hair, a handsome and beautiful face, and an amazing Why can’t dancing skills capture the hearts of girls? But even SM itself was surprised that it really failed, so a series of unfairness happened to Han Geng. As a foreign artist, he could only sign three contracts, and he could not appear on the programs that the other 11 people could appear on. As a result, he had fewer and fewer opportunities to perform. In the programs he could appear on, the cheers immediately became one-tenth of the original number. It was really cruel to use this method to test popularity; later many performances required everyone to show up. , asking him to wear a mask to dance, he is the lead dancer! He didn't even have a chance to hide behind it! At that time, there were not many people in Korea who supported Han Geng, but as long as an influential person in China came out and said a word, SM would find someone to replace him just like it does now! But no one said a word, and the performance again and again opened wounds in Han Geng's heart. Although when the camera scanned him, he had to keep smiling. It is said that there are organizations hostile to Han Geng on the Korean Internet (almost every artist in South Korea has an organization hostile). There is no need to verify the reasons of those people. Most of them are related to the country and the nation. When they are full and support, the company will come forward to take action. (In fact, SM company regards Han Geng as important, compared with other Chinese trainees), Han Geng said no, but it seemed that after a week (I don’t know if it was a week, but it was very fast anyway), the organization automatically disappeared. Why? ? Because Han Geng really has nothing for them to criticize and oppose, using a method of blindly emphasizing ethnic issues to oppose a Chinese artist will only make people annoying, and those people themselves will feel ashamed. Han Geng can dance the dances of 56 ethnic groups. His strengths are ballet, martial arts, and modern dance, not to mention modern dance. He is handsome and friendly. The most important thing is: he is a star. If such a person lives around us, he is not a genius. What is your pride? But many Koreans and even his fans actually feel pitiful towards him! This clearly shows that he is at a disadvantage in Korea (especially at the beginning). It is said that he was one of the three funny people when he was in folk dance university. He must have a cheerful and lively personality, but he became taciturn in Korea. Even his teammates said: "Brother Han Geng can swim and play ball, but why can't he always get along with me?" How about everyone together?" Whenever he has free time, he stays alone and reads. Even if he is on the show, he will not steal the spotlight. If it were not for the help of his teammate Kim Heechul and his teammate Choi Siwon who understands some Chinese, I am afraid that he would be in Korea. Maybe his silence was caused by a language problem at first, making communication inconvenient, but after reading the above words, everyone will understand that it is not as simple as a language barrier. His popularity has not been rising. If this continues, Han Geng will be hidden by the company sooner or later. SM company decided to repackage and released a new single---"miracle". I hope a miracle will happen. In terms of dance music arrangement, Han Geng It is not as popular as it was during the TWINS period, probably to take care of the national sentiments of Koreans. During this period, the popularity of the entire group has increased, and Han Geng's popularity has also increased. He has a group of die-hard fans. These kind-hearted Korean girls have resisted Despite all kinds of criticisms from "patriots" in Korea, and even attacks from some fans of other members of SJ, they supported Han Geng without hesitation. In Korea, which is extremely xenophobic, it cannot be done by just a little girl who is a nymphomaniac. It needs to be Strong will and extraordinary courage. However, SM company is still worried. They are worried that the singer who spends money to package and package him will eventually be unable to make ends meet, so Han Geng's trip to China appeared to test Han Geng's popularity in China (Han Geng has not done any publicity in China before). In my opinion, if he had been ignored when he returned to China, Han Geng would have been immediately hidden by the company. Fortunately, there are also a group of die-hard fans of Han Geng in China who quickly gathered their strength and gave him the most enthusiastic and warm support. After his trip to China, Han Geng had a long-lost confident smile on his face. The warm encouragement from his family and the sincere welcome from his fans in his homeland were something his Korean fans could not give him. He gradually began to have the courage to express himself. From then on, Han Geng truly embarked on his journey. the road to success.

The release of the third title song U really made Super Junior popular (at this time, a member was added to form a 13-member group). At the same time, Han Geng began to appear in major variety shows (his teammates had already appeared in major variety shows for half a year) ), especially the variety show FULL HOUSE (not the TV series FULL HOUSE). He showed infinite innocence and kindness in the show, and was loved by all Koreans, men, women and children. From then on, Han Geng's simple and natural image became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The FULL HOUSE program itself The ratings of the show are also impressive and it is an explosive favorite among teenagers. Han Geng's popularity has really risen! Han Geng's teammates take great care of Han Geng because spending a long time with him naturally generates support, respect and understanding for him. My friend Kim Heechul is a very popular member. He is both an actor and a host. He is famously narcissistic and reluctant to praise others easily. However, he was full of praise for Han Geng and praised him in radio programs. He said: "Han Geng's face is a sculpture carved with one knife. He is very talented." Now he basically enjoys imitating Han Geng's speech. His teammate Choi Siyuan also studied in China, so he gave Han Geng his face when he first went to Korea. Other teammates, such as Kang In, when Han Geng performed the folk dance on the Golden Bell program, he showed an extremely proud look on his face as if to say: "You see, this is my brother! Amazing!" As for the seniors in the Korean entertainment industry, to use a famous saying - they are collectively doted on and loved by him. Senior Yoon Jung-soo publicly stated on the Internet: "Young and yet so humble, I like this kid!" "; and MC Kang Ho-dong clearly took care of Han Geng in the show; Kim Jong-min said that Han Geng's appearance changed his original understanding of China and made him feel that Chinese friends are worth making friends; Ayumi was the first among Han Geng The first time she appeared on the love letter program, she publicly expressed her strong affection for him (Ayumi is very popular among Korean male artists and even athletes). Lee Jung, Cha Yuri, TIM and others have become Han Geng's good friends. Han Geng was full of praise. Han Geng's dream is to be an actor. In South Korea, his wish is very slim, but there are always opportunities. In Zhang Liyin's MV, he played the role of an upright policeman and a gentle and considerate lover. The film is wonderful His performance was not inferior to that of his teammate Choi Si-won, who had already appeared in a movie, which was impressive. During the filming, all the staff members loved him very much for his simplicity, cuteness, and approachability, including the actress Lee Yeon-hee who starred opposite him. Mentioning Han Geng Immediately smile like a flower! During this period, up to now, Han Geng has returned to the country three times, once in Qingdao. He felt very depressed that time because there were 13 people together. Han Geng was obviously ignored by the fans of his motherland. Many little girls were so jealous when they saw other members. I was much more excited to see Han Geng. It’s no wonder that Han Geng’s fans are relatively older. These sister-level fans have a deeper and more lasting love for Han Geng. In the hotel lobby in Qingdao, the other members of the group hurriedly paid their respects. I met Han Geng’s father in a hurry, because I didn’t have time to be formal. I said it was a meeting because all 12 people were very solemn and solemn. They bowed to Han Geng’s father one by one, and many fans gathered around them to ask for autographs and take photos. Make this brief visit seem more informal. In his home country, Han Geng did not receive the loudest cheers and the strongest support. Fans also used him as a microphone and postman, bringing messages and gifts to other members. However, he did not show any displeasure. On the contrary, because he could communicate with My father was very happy to meet me. The second time, on September 12th (originally scheduled to return to China on the 20th), Han Geng suddenly and quietly returned to Beijing, reunited with his family, and then participated in some activities. This news caught the heads of Han Geng's major websites off guard. In order to clear up Han Geng's grievance last time, everyone quickly organized together and brought the most considerate support to Han Geng. Han Geng was also very happy that time. At the end of the SOHU meeting, some fans saw tears in his eyes, but they just endured it. It's just that it didn't flow down. Later, he appeared as a judge in SM Entertainment's talent show finals, and Geng Fan even turned the scene into a fan club, with the audience filled with Han Geng's signs and banners. The third time was when Super Junior all went to Beijing for a KV concert on September 22 (except for teammate Kim Heechul who was hospitalized in a car accident). This time Han Geng was extremely popular and was reported by the media. Although the focus was still not on Han Geng, It was enough to relieve the depression of us Geng fans for many days. SM company CEO Li Xiuman also came to Beijing together, probably to test the popularity. It is worth mentioning that he won the third place in the top ten Korean dream lovers in China. Han Geng’s greatest charm is that he never takes other people’s support and care for him for granted. He often flies to various countries in Southeast Asia. He flew there, but wherever he went, he would tell his fans on China CY that they were safe and ask about their health. He would really read the letters sent to him by fans, and his fans would always tell them what was on their mind in life. Han Geng was very happy about this. Sometimes he felt that he really regarded his Chinese fans as family members.

(He didn’t even go to CY in South Korea. I don’t know why. He probably lost his password.) To this day, Han Geng has gone through the most difficult journey. Chinese people who have never lived in South Korea cannot understand the hardships during this period. I understand, but his fans are also under a lot of pressure. I myself am a person who is about to start working, and I am considered an old man in the Gengfan team. The deepest experience I have gained from chasing stars for four months is: it is difficult! Because of Han Geng's special status, we Geng fans have to take everything easy. If we are not careful, we may bring ANTI to Han Geng. Even Han Geng's Korean fans asked us: "Why don't you Chinese even support your own people?" We were speechless.

In the Korean entertainment industry, there are also some people who are indifferent or even disrespectful to Han Geng without knowing him well (maybe they are not aware of it), but later on, they either admire or love him. Of course, there are still Koreans today The "stragglers" continued their "national spirit," but more importantly, Han Geng slowly erased the many misconceptions about China and the Chinese in the hearts of some Koreans, and unknowingly painted a true picture for them. Beautiful China! Please support Han Geng a lot, because he not only needs it! Even more worth it!
