Debut experience: SM China stood out in the draft of H.O.T CHINA.

Han Geng, a simple-minded handsome boy from China, is a member of Super Junior, a Korean men's group popular in Asia, and the first China artist to make his debut in South Korea and enter the mainstream entertainment circle. He has been wallowing in the Korean entertainment circle for four years and three months, and with strong perseverance, he has created a sky of his own. Last year, when Super Junior swept away many awards such as the Best Newcomer Award and the Most Popular Combination Award at the Korean Annual Awards Ceremony, people couldn't help looking at him-Han Geng, the only member of China, the smiling China boy. As we all know, the entertainment industry is highly competitive. Behind this glory, how did 19-year-old Han Geng survive alone in a foreign country? What kind of bitterness and tempering have you experienced?

"Han Geng, Han Geng, Han Geng ..." The dark theater flashed the lights of fans' mobile phones. In the long-awaited event, Han Geng, a member of Super Junior, a Korean group wearing a sleeveless suit and pink jeans, finally appeared in the center of the stage and danced Hip-Hop with strong music, which made the fans scream. As the only China member in Super Junior, Han Geng's trip to Guangzhou Fan Club the afternoon before yesterday was filled with laughter and emotion. When reading the fans' thank-you letters, Han Geng visited tears for you and thanked the fans for their companionship and support with sincere feelings.

On the same day, Han Geng not only presented three dances, but also interacted with fans to play games, make phone calls and exchange gifts. Han Geng, who returned to China, specially brought his own hat, T-shirt and pajamas of Super Junior member Kim HeeChul to Guangzhou fans. He smiled and said, "Xi Che has always been interested in China and hopes to come to China. This time, he asked me to bring you a gift. " In order to get a gift from Han Geng, the "Geng Fan" presented their own gifts, including a cross-stitch work that took half a year to make. Looking at many gifts, Han Geng sighed with emotion: "There are four big boxes at home, full of letters from fans, and I have read every letter carefully." Although it was the first time to come to Guangzhou, Han Geng said that he liked the city very much and was moved by the enthusiasm of Guangzhou's "Geng fans". In the "telephone whisper" session, a little girl shed tears with excitement because she received a phone call from her idol. When reading the fans' thank-you notes, Han Geng couldn't help choking when he heard the fans shouting "Come on, Han Geng" together. The expression of tears for you moved me to tears. Encouraged by the fans, Han Geng read the thank-you note intermittently and said, "Thank you for your encouragement. I will definitely work harder in the future. "

Professional pass

Learning Korean: I was misunderstood as rude.

As the 1000th winner of the H.O.T.China trials, Han Geng is lucky. He has embarked on a journey to South Korea, but the first problem he has to face is language. I don't know any friends or relatives and I don't know anything about Korean, so learning Korean has become a compulsory course for him every day.

Han Geng said that at first he thought Korean was quite simple, so he tried to mark the pronunciation with Chinese characters. Under the guidance of the manager, it only took one or two weeks to have a simple greeting and exchange with the locals. But learning to learn, Han Geng found that Korean is not easy to learn and there are many rules. He recalled: "Korean has honorific words, companion words, and chatting with close friends, but I only said those companion words at first, no matter who I talked to, such as the boss and company employees." In fact, South Korea has a strong concept of respecting the elderly, and it is easy to be misunderstood without honorific words for elders. As a result, the Korean spoken by Han Geng once aroused the resentment of the company staff, who thought the China boy was rude, but Han Geng did not stop and still studied hard.

Han Geng said that at that time, in addition to the necessary performing arts training, he spent an average of 10 hours learning Korean every day. "At that time, I studied very hard. Every day, just like learning English, take a small piece of paper and write it down: Ania Sayyo ... My wall is covered with small pieces of paper, and I fall asleep when I sleep and watch it every day. " With perseverance, Han Geng can now speak fluent Korean. But he was modest and said with a smile, "If I am Korean, I can still tell (from my accent) that I am from a foreign country."

Dance practice: I don't know about the fracture for two months.

Han Geng is high flyers from the Dance Department of Minzu University of China. After six years of dance training, he had a good dance level before entering Korea. But when he first came to Korea for training, his class was the lowest C class. In this regard, Han Geng is not surprised at all: "This is for sure. Of course, I just started from the grassroots. " Of course, this is also related to the completely different kinds of dances that Han Geng practiced before. He said: "I studied folk dance, but when I entered the company, I had to dance Hit hop and poping, and my muscles had to move. Different dances and muscle movements in different positions are quite complicated. " In this way, Han Geng in a foreign land had to practice his best dance from scratch.

For dance practice, Han Geng admits that he never feels bored and likes to practice dancing alone. When he was a trainee in SM, the highest record was to practice dancing for 20 hours continuously. Is this a requirement of the management company? Han Geng explained: "this is my own request, because there are choreographed dances and songs before I debut, and I want to practice." At that time, the agent was not there, only the director and us, and we practiced ourselves and prepared the most perfect and best performance. " With solid basic skills, Han Geng rose from the lowest C level to A level in just half a year. He proudly said: "At that time, there were only three people in Class A: me, Donghai and Enhe."

As a professional dancer, Han Geng, who is thin, has also suffered many injuries under long-term practice. Han Geng's arm was once broken due to excessive movements during dance practice. "At that time, I really didn't know where I was hurt. I go to the gym because I am thin. One day when I was doing push-ups, I felt my arm hurt and said to my agent,' My arm hurts. Can I go to the hospital? I didn't know it was a fracture until I filmed it in the hospital. I asked when it broke down. (The doctor) said it should be two months ago, but the doctor said the fracture had healed, but it was crooked. "So, now when Han Geng raises his hand, his arm will beat his chest, but it's ok, it doesn't have much impact on his performance. Patience: forced to wear a mask to perform on stage

On June 6th, 2005,1/other Korean boys formed a large-scale group facing the Asian market (newly added in 2006 13 people-editor's note), and officially debuted! The moment I stood on the stage, the excitement and joy were self-evident. However, the cruel fact poured cold water on Han Geng when the excitement of debut had not faded. South Korea has relevant regulations that as a foreign artist, only three TV stations can be signed, and other unsigned TV stations can't show their faces. As for a new artist, everyone knows what exposure means.

Han Geng recalled: "At that time, my agent suddenly told me that I was going to the foreigners' entrance. When I got there, the staff at the entrance and exit asked me many things, such as what performances I had participated in, what advertisements I had taken and what magazines I had been in. Later, I felt that I would be fined because there was no proper procedure and no performing arts visa. Because I am the first artist from abroad, the company doesn't know what kind of program this is. So the company said at the time,' You can't perform in Korea after today'. At that time, I immediately cried and said to myself,' That's it, this has just begun, and then it was banned and I can't perform'. So, after that performance, I will regard it as my last performance in Korea. I must do my best to let all Korean fans know that I have a Han Geng on the stage and leave a deep impression on them. "

Over the years, Han Geng, who never gave up, and the manager came up with a compromise method of wearing a mask. "I discussed it with my agent, because if I miss it, the formation will be completely chaotic, and I have to rearrange it. I will perform the next day." Then, at the scene of KM TV station in South Korea, a boy wearing a black and silver mask appeared on the stage in Super Junior.

A test of sb's moral behavior

Become strong: I called my mother and cried 10 minutes.

There is bitterness, and naturally there is confusion. Han Geng, who had not made his debut at that time, was most confused when the trainees returned to China to renew their contracts every year. There are many interns in SM Company, and the competition is fierce. Every day, new students join, old students leave, and elimination and self-abandonment are constantly staged every day. After several renewals, all the companions who arrived in Korea together left, leaving him alone. In South Korea, 500 yuan is less than RMB for living expenses, so he won't go to the streets, companies or dormitories for shopping during his two years in South Korea.

Han Geng once shed tears because of homesickness. The first time he spent the Spring Festival in Korea, he cried. He cried on the phone for more than 65,438+00 minutes, and finally said, "Happy New Year, Mom." He also flinched before difficulties and setbacks. Whenever he saw a companion replaced a few days before his debut, he wanted to give up. But like the stage, he never gave up: "Not without envy, not without hesitation, just trying to study hard and prove himself."

SUPER JUNIOR, a Korean group, has a hard time.

A large group with 13 members,

What caught my attention was Han Geng, a China boy who was always smiling.

After understanding, it brought me heartache and shock, emotion and joy.

Unexpectedly, such a boy my age, such a boy who always smiles in the spotlight,

What a strong, kind, forbearing and tolerant heart is hidden behind that smile!

Han Geng, who loves acting since childhood, is an ordinary Hezhe boy, born in an ordinary family in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, China.

Like other children of the same age, he has been naughty, active and lively since childhood.

65438-0990 Xiao Hangeng, who studied in Yuhua Primary School, could not hide his national character since he was a child. He loves acting and dancing and is an active member on the school stage.

By chance, a teacher saw Geng on the stage and thought he had great potential, so he talked to him privately.

Let him consider going to Beijing to take an examination of the Dance Department of Minzu University of China.

Han Geng, who has a strong interest in dance, discussed it with his family and decided to give it a try.

In this way, Geng, who was only 13 years old, embarked on his life journey.

In Beijing, he was admitted to the Central University for Nationalities, and Han Geng began his six-year dance study career.

During his school years, Han Geng not only studied the dances of 56 ethnic minorities, but also studied martial arts and ballet part-time to improve his flexibility.

He has performed in the United States, Russia, Hong Kong, Macao and other countries and regions on behalf of the school with the dance troupe, and many performances have proved Han Geng's outstanding talent.

1997 At the beginning of this year, the Korean Wave landed in China, and young people in China began to come into contact with this unique style from a foreign country.

Han Geng, who loves dancing, is no exception. He likes the unique dance and style of HOT and takes Kontha in HOT as his idol.

200 1, 1 February, I learned that SM Entertainment, a subsidiary of HOT, held a talent show "H.O.T. China" in Beijing.

With the mentality of trying, Han Geng and his friends took part in the draft. Han Geng's unique dance charm and delicate face left a deep impression on the Korean judges present.

At the beginning of 2002, Han Geng received a notice from SM Company. He stood out from 3000 contestants and became the first China person to sign SM.

After discussing with his family, Han Geng, who had dreams, decided to go to South Korea alone to fight for his dreams.

Although the star journey in Korea is full of bitterness and hardship, apart from the support of parents, I believe the biggest pillar is the warmth brought by other players and "Geng Fan".

Swimming Competition Talking about the interesting story of Super Junior, Han Geng remembered the swimming competition. "We live in two dormitories, which are adjacent to each other. In order to increase sleep time, we had to shorten the bathing time, so we launched the' fastest bathing competition' in the combination. Other members 1 1 who don't take a shower are the jury, and the members who take a shower should be evaluated by the jury: after taking a shower, they should have the smell of bath lotion and no bubbles, and the judges should smell it and evaluate it. In the first game, the players boasted that it would be finished in two minutes. Of course, other members didn't believe it at first. Everyone asked Ishihara to take a bath, while other members stood outside bathroom door, listening and counting the time. The test results surprised everyone, because it only took him 1 min 30 seconds to take a shower. " However, this record was later broken by another member "prodigy", who took a bath for 22 seconds and did not violate the rules of the game! Han Geng said: "So far, no one can break the record of' prodigy'." Happy birthday

On Han Geng's 22nd birthday, other members of SJ mailed a video recording their deep wishes to China Han Geng. Among them, team member Qiang Ren said, "Brother Han Geng hopes everything will go well this birthday, and he won't get sick. It must be lonely to be separated from your parents. This time he will go home to spend the New Year with his parents, and he will go home healthily. Come back and show you a better face with other members of our Super Junior. " The friendship between brothers is warm in Han Geng's heart.

Hardcore fan

Although Han Geng fought alone abroad, the "fans" of the motherland did not forget this showgirl because of the distance. When Han Geng was a trainee, blog became his only connection with the "fans" of the motherland. Every time he sees those cordial greetings from the motherland on his blog, he will be moved. Without a personal computer, Han Geng can only surf the Internet in the company. Without Chinese input method, he typed pinyin in English. On Han Geng's 22nd birthday, a fan organization in SJ sent Han Geng a laptop with Chinese input method through Korean students. On the day of getting the gift, Han Geng left a message. The first sentence was: "Finally, I can leave a message in Chinese! Thank you! "

Shiyuan: I joined the company because I was attracted by SM when I was in the same school.
