[100813] Han Geng’s First Solo Show “Hong Kong Aunties” Group to Cheer Him On

Aug 16, 2010 23:06


Yesterday was a work day, it was also a very hot 40 degree day, but nevertheless there were more than ten fans assembled at the entrance of the Shanghai Broadcasting building, they were waiting there for Han Geng who was going to hold a press conference. Two days later, Han Geng would be collaborating with Dynamic 101 for his first solo Shanghai show - "2010 'Geng Xin' Fan Meeting" which would be held at Changning International Gymnastics Center. Seeing the emotions of the eager fans, the staff at the side muttered that: "it's rare for a celebrity who is not a Korean wave star to be this popular", yes, the Han Geng now is no longer a Korean wave star.

After the Crisis Han Geng Calmly Confronts the "Korean Wave"

At the press conference, Han Geng spoke Mandarin with a northeastern accent, just listening to his voice, perhaps you would never have thought that he is the most popular and hot new topic of the present mainland Chinese music industry. Facing questions from the media, he displayed a calmness of having gone through tumultuous times, particularly when speaking about his opinion of Korea, he quite generously says: "China's young people can still go to Korea for learning and training, do not think of everything as being bad."

During Han Geng’s time with Super Junior, young people from China all used him as an example of career development, now after all kinds of disputes have broken out between both parties and causing them to split up, to some degree Han Geng has also become an example of "learning from mistakes", the young people who want to go to Korea for development are all worried that they will be exploited by the local companies. In relation to this, Han Geng looks at it very analytically: "being sent to Korea for development is correct, you can learn many new things. Actually, there is no need to especially protect yourself, learning is the most important thing." Han Geng revealed his lawsuit is still being handled by the lawyers, the only change is that he now feels more enriched.

During the interview, Han Geng repeatedly expressed that "after leaving the group it is a little easier, it also feels more relaxed." More importantly, Han Geng believes that the staff now are all like friends, when collaborating there is even more understanding, "there is ample feeling, everyone is also very respectful of me." But in relation to the rumor that Han Geng joined Yuehua Entertainment due to his close relationship with Chinese star Li Xiaolu, Han Geng only quietly said one sentence: "really don’t know why everyone looks at this matter like that."

After Han Geng Goes Solo Korean Wave Fans Become Dispersed

As for his first Shanghai show, the fans gave all their passion, a person in charge of the Shanghai fan club Lengyin [ translator's note: this is the person’s username and literally means "cold drink" ] told reporters that due to it being a work day yesterday, there were quite a few fans from other areas that were unable to come to Shanghai, but at the performance on Saturday night fans from every part of the country would come to Shanghai, aunties from Hong Kong would also form groups to come, students studying in Japan would also all collectively set out, so that Han Geng can feel their passion.

As for Han Geng going solo, Lengyin’s first reaction was that there were even more opportunities to see her idol. "Previously Han Geng’s company wouldn’t even allow the media and fans to come close to Han Geng, everyone said that he was being self-important, but actually it was not like that at all." Lengyin stated that within the groups of fans there were stories of Han Geng meeting with unfair treatment and one was that when Han Geng was sick and being treated with an intravenous drip, because there was not enough time and there was a rush to get to a performance, the Korean staff members set the intravenous drip to the fastest level, finally even though the drip had not finished Han Geng was pulled away, completely disregarding his health; another is that during his time with SJ-M, Han Geng was in Beijing, but he was unable to return home to visit his mother, also in the song <>, as the leader Han Geng was not even able to sing a complete line of the lyrics.

Lengyin stated that for Han Geng to be able to endure his situation up to now, it is already something that is not easy to do, the reporter asked them would they still care about Super Junior now that Han Geng had gone solo, Lengyin and other fans stated unhesitatingly: "we only care about Han Geng, we will only care about where he goes, as for Super Junior, we are already almost not in the least concerned now."
