Take the recent example. There are 890,000 officially registered fans in TVXQ!, South Korea, who have applied for the Guinness Book of World Records. This is not to mention fans who like them but have not registered officially. None of the fans in China, Japan and Southeast Asia are just South Korea. Think about how many people are in the entertainment industry in South Korea. Students say that almost one in ten people is an artist.
In addition, it started with Japan's 16 single, and ranked first in Japan's singles trust list (Oricon list) with the 22nd, 23rd and 24th singles in succession. You can check it out. This single list is very famous. Japan's xenophobia is very strong, and BOA only topped the list 1 time. When they topped the list twice in a row, they broke the record of foreigners (not just Koreans) for 24 years. Now Japan is also very popular, and only in 2007, the second tour of Asia convened 390,000 people! !
In fact, it's not just that. You can look at what happened before their debut. It's very distressing. I think their achievements should be earned, because everyone works hard and manages hard for their little dreams. It's not easy. It's really uncomfortable to watch them make up. I like it very much. Here are some little things about him. Look, these are all true, because some things in Korea are really abnormal sometimes! ! ! !
About singing
Once upon a time, there was a child who liked singing.
Naturally, he chose the road of singing.
Drop out of high school-with courage that peers don't have.
In order to save money, walk from Chungnam to Seoul-with two immature legs.
Take out a little money for delicious cookies-with your own blood
To save money-drink other people's leftover noodle soup.
To save money-I live alone on the tenth floor of an apartment without an elevator.
I admire my predecessor H.O.T——-so much so that I said on the show after my debut that my ideal type is one of them.
Cherish the opportunity to debut-so I practiced dancing until my knee was seriously injured.
Because of the injury, I still insisted on shooting the MV-even if I had to ask the staff to stand on their backs or lean against the telephone booth for hours.
Once upon a time, there was a child who liked singing.
About family
Once upon a time, there was a child who had a big family.
76-year-old parents-even though he is only 20 years old.
Eight sisters-the oldest is 58 years old and the youngest is 35 years old.
Once very poor. Living in a humble house and running a small shop.
In order to end the wishes of elderly parents, regardless of their identity as artists, they said they would get married and have children early.
Said mom had done a lot for herself. When you call your mother on the parents' day program, ask her to say "our children are the best!" "
Once upon a time, there was a child who had a big family.
About love
Once upon a time there was a child who believed in love.
In the sixth grade of primary school, the girls in the same class said they would send him home, but they took his first kiss at his door.
I met the first person I loved in my life when I was in the first grade of junior high school. As a result, my heart ached for a long time when I broke up.
Later, I met a bad woman who cheated on her feelings, but now she still wears a commemorative ring.
I have been hurt many times, but I still believe in love foolishly.
Once upon a time there was a child who believed in love.
About brothers
Once upon a time, there was a child with four younger brothers who had known each other for many years.
When they were elected to the company, they were all children, noisy and active children who liked singing.
I don't know why I was arranged together, and then I don't know why I became famous.
I don't know why I was ridiculed and attacked, and then I don't know why I got a lot of praise and recognition.
I don't know why I need to grow up quickly, and I don't know why I become very busy one day.
He just knows that as long as they accompany him, he can stick to it.
Legend has it that when the company wanted to replace him, his brother shed tears for him on live.
When he was injured and couldn't attend the award ceremony, his brother took the trophy and said that the prize belonged to their brother.
My brother said that he is a person who gives people a faint feeling of homesickness. It is the funniest one, but it is also the most intimate one.
My brother said that what he wanted most for the New Year was that his body would get better soon.
Once upon a time, there was a child with four younger brothers who had known each other for many years.
About fans
Once upon a time, there was a child who was terribly strong for those who loved him.
After winning the grand prize, the brothers were so excited that they were filled with pear blossoms and rain. He opened his eyes wide, raised his head and held his tears hard.
Because his little Fans are terminally ill, he always doesn't like to cry in front of others. He is in tears on the show.
Go to the hospital with my brothers-I don't care if I'm walking on crutches.
For fear that China's fans were worried about their injuries-although they were depressed, a person quietly stopped the reporter and told her not to report too much about her injuries.
Even if I get hurt, I still keep saying I'm sorry-because I can't perform for my fans in time.
At the Fanmeeting, I saw that the fans were distressed by their injuries, so they cried badly, and then they cried with them. In order not to let everyone see his tears, they lowered their heads and looked up with a bright smile that made people want to cry. Once upon a time, there was a child who was terribly strong for those who loved him.
About himself
What is there to say?
I know, starting tomorrow, we have no right to call him a child anymore.
He has grown up.
Will have their own music.
I will repay my family.
Will have their own love.
Will be with my brothers forever.
Will always love him, CASSIOPEIA.
Children need our blessing and tolerance.
With all this, he is the happiest child.
The child's name is Kim Jae Jung.
In these years, I am bitter and happy, plain and profound.
These years in school are his happiness and everything to him.
Touching deeds in the book
At the beginning of the story, I think we should start with the words "a long time ago". For me, who was only fifteen years old, five years ago was indeed a long time ago, which was a third of my life. A long time ago, a 15-year-old boy bid farewell to the city where he had lived all his life, packed his luggage resolutely, bid farewell to his family with eight loving sisters and a pair of equally doting parents, and set foot on the train to Seoul. When his family sent him to the railway station, they all cried. The boy heard their cries, but he didn't dare to look back. Because he is afraid that when he turns back, he will be ruthless and will give up this opportunity. I am also afraid that my family will see his own tears. In this way, the boy wearing a shabby coat left his hometown alone at the age of fifteen in order to realize his dream, and went to a bustling city that he had never seen before to find his place to stay.
Finally, the train arrived. The boy got off the train. He looked at the gorgeous high-rise buildings, noisy streets and the night lit by neon lights in Seoul ... So many things that he had never seen before rushed at him like a wave, and his heart could not bear it completely. Does he really want to find a place for himself in this proud and gorgeous city like a queen? The boy hesitated and his confidence in himself was shaken.
However, the ideal he has been holding in his heart makes him sure that if he goes home like this, he will never be able to forgive his cowardice. So, without any support at all, the boy found himself a pitifully small apartment and lived there.
When S.M. Entertainment, the largest music entertainment company in Korea, held the second singing competition, the boy took part. The hall is crowded with young people who, like boys, want to be hired by the company to become tomorrow's stars through this competition. They are all dressed up, wearing the most popular clothes, listening to the songs to be sung in the interview with high-quality headphones, and looking at other contestants with cold eyes. The boy looked at his slightly large dark gray coat and trousers and felt as if he had lost half of it.
He is contestant number 12. Into the interview hall, there sat five judges with a straight face. He was a little at a loss until the middle one asked him to prepare to sing.
Then he touched them with his voice. That voice is the clearest, gentlest and most powerful voice that everyone has ever heard. Listen, there will be unspeakable sadness in my heart. But at the same time, I still hope that I can listen to him forever, forever and ever, and sink into his singing. But even so, at first glance, his voice is still too soft and fragile.
So in the end, the boy won the game because he has a charming face. On the face that is free from lead, but still free from vulgarity, it is more delicate than a girl's facial features. Shuiyingying's eyes are big and soft, and the dark gray pupils are shyly covered with long straight eyelashes. The lips are small and full, and the pink color sets off the pallor of the skin on the face. Everyone said that this face was born for entertainment.
He was inadvertently accepted by the company and signed a seven-year cooperation contract: he was an apprentice for the first two years, paid his own tuition to take music and dance classes, and became an artist for the next five years. The boy getting closer and closer to his dream quickly signed the contract. Although he knows that he will have a hard life in the next two years, he must never give up for his ideal.
So, he began to live a life that was not human for two years. Knowing that his family was not rich, he never reached out and asked for another penny from his family. I work two or three odd jobs every day. When everyone was still asleep, they took newspapers that were almost as heavy as their own bodies from the printing factory and distributed newspapers one by one on rotten old bicycles. At noon, I went to a nearby construction site to do temporary hard labor. The suffocating face is covered with dust and cement, and the soft voice is suppressed because it does not dare to offend other construction workers. After the afternoon music class, I would rather walk to the restaurant for three hours as a waiter in order to save money on getting off the bus. He is doing the job at hand silently, silently bearing the burden that a 15-year-old boy should not bear, and silently praying for the day when the tunnel in out of the dark can be surrounded by light two years later.
The boy used up all his strength, but he still couldn't live with three meals and food. Every time I get paid, the first thing I do is to pay my tuition. It doesn't matter even if the money left is not enough for food and clothing.
Finally, one day, the boy found that he had no money to buy something to eat. He has been hungry for two whole days, and his collapsed body should not be able to work hard any more. But in order to pay the tuition on time every month, he still works hard. That night in the restaurant, the boy picked up more than half of the noodle soup left by a guest. The soup is still lukewarm. He was so hungry that even his hands holding the bowl were shaking. Don't think about it anymore. The boy picked up the spoon, took a bite and drank all the remaining noodle soup.
Why is the noodle soup getting salty? The boy wondered. Then he found that his tears had fallen into the bowl in his ignorance.
A 15-year-old shouldn't have to bear this, but he did.
Later, the boy got sick. He had a fever and had to lie in that much smaller apartment for three days, where he couldn't sleep even with a few clothes. The tuition has just been paid, but the three-day working fee is less. Once again, the boy dragged his hungry body for three hours to work in the restaurant.
On his way back, he saw a blood station. While hesitating, my stomach ached unwillingly. Once again, the boy did something he thought he shouldn't do. He walked into the blood station. An hour later, clutching those hard-won bills in my hand, I went to the food store to buy the cheapest biscuits to satisfy my hunger with heavy dizziness and bloodless lips.
Finally, the hard days of two years have passed. The boy was chosen into a five-person bel canto dance group. The company announced that it would be the strongest celestial group. After the unanimous approval of all music teachers in the company, although these five people have very different timbres, they will definitely cooperate seamlessly together. As a result, the boy was lucky enough to enter a group that the company attached great importance to, avoiding the bad luck of being refrigerated. At the same time, as the oldest, he also got four younger brothers who cared about him very much.
When they launched their first single, they topped all the music charts in South Korea with only one record with two songs, thus breaking the market where there was no Korean single in the Korean music industry. The boy finally tasted the sweetness of success. Seeing more and more letters from fans every day, he felt in his heart that it was worthwhile to suffer for two years.
However, good things are always so short and far away for boys. At their first autograph session, none of the fans who got the admission opportunity were his fans. The boy looked at the long queue in front of the other three people in the group, and his heart seemed to be hurt by a dull blow. There's no one in front of me. Finally, the staff pulled several fans in front of him in order not to make the atmosphere at the scene too embarrassing. Just as the boy tried hard to hide his sadness in his heart and cordially greeted his fans' names, the girl's arrogant and disdainful sentence "I was forced to come here, and I don't like you at all" broke his heart again. But the boy didn't cry. He would rather bite his lip than shed a tear in front of anyone, even himself.
The boy doesn't know why fans dislike him so much. He didn't know that his fans were outside the meeting hall, heartbroken like him ...
Later, he found on the company's official website that people didn't like him, not because he did anything wrong, but because he was so beautiful that girls hated him. The weak wry smile raised the boy's mouth. It turned out that the chip that made him better than others to enter the entertainment circle, this young and handsome face, is the reason why everyone hates him.
The boy did not give up. He still faces various interviews with a smile every day, hoping that everyone will be attracted by his human side and his voice. But the harder he works, the greater the burden in his heart. There are frequent minor mistakes in the performance. This made him even more frightened. He is afraid that people will feel more disgusted with him. As a result, the boy gradually stopped talking and laughing in front of the camera, tensed his emotions every day, and deliberately controlled his words and deeds very strictly.
He didn't expect that silence in front of the camera would bring dissatisfaction from fans who said he was being cool and the company's decision to take him out of the group. The boy was really scared. He doesn't want to leave this place, which is already a second family for him. But he had no choice. To put it bluntly, an artist is just a puppet who makes money for the company. When the audience is tired of watching this puppet, the company must change to a puppet that the audience likes better.
But as a result, he was not transferred. The boy found that his fans protested for him in the street outside the company for several days and nights. In order to ask the company to keep him in the portfolio. It turns out that the youngest member of the group, the little brother he has been doting on and cherishing, cried in front of the camera and announced to everyone that if the company transferred his brother, he would rather break the contract and go back to be his ordinary high school student ... The boy was moved. He knows that everyone in this group is full of enthusiasm for singing. And the youngest brother, like him, actually went through many, many times before he became a singer.
As a result, the boy cherishes everything he has more. He practiced very hard in order to repay the kindness of his fans. He wants to present the best to his fans. At the concert, the boy always glances at the audience. The music teacher in the company accused him that if he did this, he would be not affectionate at all, as if he were cutting in. The boy nodded with a smile, but in the next singing, his eyes always aim to the ground. The boy said that when an artist sings, he will stare at one place for the effect, but he can't, because he wants to see the faces of every fan clearly. So, even if the image taken will be bad, he still has to do it.
Two years have passed. In two years, the boy broke the music teacher's idea that his voice was too weak and light with a song "The Way Are". He naturally changed his gentle and neutral voice into a savage and domineering tearing roar, which won him more fans' hearts. The boy smiled foolishly.
Later, the boy fell down in a dance practice class. I thought it was a common thing to fall, but he couldn't stand up. The knee hurts so much that he can only shrink down and tremble on the ground with his broken right knee. The captain said nothing, picked him up and ran to the nearest hospital for treatment. At the moment of pushing him into the emergency room, the boy saw four familiar figures panting outside the open door and looking at him anxiously.
The doctor said that the boy's right knee was shattered and needed surgery as soon as possible. This is not a minor operation, it needs a long rest. But the boy refused. On the second day after his operation, he went to the Olympic Peak Stadium in Seoul with other members and held a meeting with their fans as scheduled. Before the meeting, the captain helped him carefully, from the van to the backstage of the stadium, and refused to leave for fear that he would suddenly feel pain. At the meeting, the youngest brother was asked what kind of New Year gift he wanted to receive next year. And his answer is that I hope my brother's leg will get better soon ...
Boys have always been reluctant to shed tears. But this time he felt tears in his eyes. He buried his head and tried not to let the tears fall. Later, he looked up and saw that the fans were crying for him. Sadly, the boy picked up the microphone and said to everyone, "Actually, I don't feel any pain at all, I really don't feel any pain at all ... Everyone, please don't cry for me, but be like me. Let's smile at each other, OK?" The boy lied to his fans for the first time. The leg that just finished the operation is less than 24 hours. How can it not hurt? But he still endured the pain bravely and smiled at 50 thousand fans.
Later, the boy's foot injury finally healed. He happily got together with his friends to celebrate. He was arrested on his way home. The reason is that drunk driving. When the captain met him at the police station, he didn't say anything, but the boy knew that his move must have disappointed him.
The boy was refrigerated by the company for two weeks. The boy knows that this punishment is already very lenient. He knows that it must be the league members and fans who plead for him so that he won't be locked in a humble corner of the company forever. To this end, he resolutely insisted on apologizing to everyone at the next singer meeting, although an artist has no obligation to do so.
That time, it was the first time that the boy cried in front of the fans.
A boy, who was strong enough to ignore the pain that his knee had just been peeled off, smiled and advised his fans not to cry for his injury, but didn't shed a tear in the whole process. He was moved to tears because he heard a few words that fans no longer blamed him. My heart is broken for him.
After that incident, the boy finally got everyone's approval. Everyone finally found out that the advantages of the original boy are not only the capacity of dumping the country. It turns out that his singing is so changeable, so sentimental and soft; It turns out that he is a man who has the courage to admit his mistakes. It turns out that under that stubborn and unwilling character, he is actually a person who will be moved so much. A word from the fans, we forgive you, which has such a huge shock to him. Perhaps, the boy found everyone's acceptance and tolerance in their short five words.
This boy is Kim Jae Jung of TVXQ!, a popular Korean boy group. The company gave him a stage name, Hero in the Dream. The boy always reminds himself when he wants to cry that he can't cry. Because he is a hero in the movie; Heroes don't cry. Heroes will always guard everyone!
