Southern Metropolis Daily reported on 5th November that reporter Sun Rui said that in the years that he worked as a journalist, he has met Han Geng many times, but it was the first time he met him face-to-face to chat. Before, whether he was in Super Junior or after he went solo, Han Geng’s high popularity always gave me a type of ‘god-like’ feeling, a bit unreachable. When Han Geng sat in front of me, the feeling before disappeared in the blink of an eye, “I understand that every job isn’t easy, so I need to respect your job and effort, whatever you ask me, I will answer.” When Han Geng said this, his tone was a bit casual, but I could feel his sincerity. The one hour interview allowed me to discover a new Han Geng- a bright sincere, grateful, an ideal guy.

A
Story of the Lawsuit
Korea has experienced not only ‘painful memories’
Hoping that SJ members will share the same stage
Ever since leaving Korea and terminating his contract with SM Entertainment, going solo, Han Geng has been facing this matter in front of the public, “The lawsuit has been fully handled by my lawyer” has become his answer every time he is interviewed. What is the reason that Han Geng has avoided his experiences in Korea? And for the lawsuit, why does he not share details about it?

“Actually, I never avoided it on purpose, it’s just that the past is the past, don’t look back, I should take care of the things that are happening now and in the future, doing well in what I should be doing.” Han Geng said with indifference, “I don’t want to use my current experience to deal with the past, there is no need to. I don’t care whether people say that I’m ungrateful or that I’m biting the hand that fed me, it’s fine with me, since I’ve already walked this far, I should just look to the future, not caring about anything else and continue walking.”

Han Geng expressed that even though during the time he was with SM Entertainment he experienced a lot of hardships, his experience with Korea was definitely not only “painful memories”, at least, currently, the relationship between him and Super Junior members is as deep as before, “Even though I’m not with the company anymore, the feelings I have for the members are still there, now I still maintain contact with them, after all, we matured together. Actually, if the law permits, I hope I can return to Korea and perform on the same stage as the other SJ members once again. I have this dream that the 13 of us can play the same internet game at the same time and there sing and dance?”

Han Geng said, a person developing in Korea alone, whether in his personal life or in his job, he will have a lot of troubles, because at that point in time, in the contract he signed with SM Entertainment, one of the key points was: The thing the artiste must do is “fully obey whatever the company arranges”, hence, even if he is sick, he still has to work. His current stomach problems was due to that. But now, Han Geng said that he doesn’t give thought to it, and was even grateful to his experience in Korea. “My experience in Korea was a very big help, I must admit that since I debuted till now, everything was given to me by them, a big part of my achievements was due to them. Even though the times have changed, but to me, these memories are very important. In Korea, a lot of older brothers and sisters were especially nice to me, one when when I return to Korea, I must meet them again.”

B
Schooling alone
Promising not to take a cent from home
For the sake of protecting girls, fighting with hooligans
Han Geng is especially independant, he said that this is because of his growing up experience. At the age of 12, he went alone to Beijing to study, in 2002, after graduating, he stayed in Beijing to work. After that, he went to Shenzhen to become a performer, then he went back to Beijing, finally, from Beijing, he flew to Korea, “Thinking back, every period of time left deep memories. Every different moment there was a different way of thinking, a different condition. Actually, in those years, I met with a lot of different hardships. But I’m just like that, whether it’s good news or bad news, I don’t usually tell my parents. Even if I’m sad, because of the distance, I’m scared they’ll be worried, I want their mood to be better, to be happier, I don’t want the be be worried over me. When I’m down, I usually look for my friends to chat, to talk about how they are recently, but I won’t say too much. I’m not good at expressing myself; if there’s anything, I’ll just keep it to myself. Also, I’ll listen to music, play games, watch TV or watch movies, relax a bit. Sometimes when it’s too much to handle, I would cry a bit.
Besides abundant experiences, Han Geng said that according to his independant nature, there is still one more point- the child of a poor person must take up the responsibility of earning money early. “Because when I was young, my environment was not good. I lived alone and and had to learn how to take care of myself. “When I just graduated, I told my mum that I definitely not take a single cent from home anymore. I told her please do not worry, if I have no more money, I’ll work, you don’t have to worry about me. That is what I did. There was only once when I had no other choice, it was already winter, I had no blanket, I asked my family for $500.” Han Geng jokingly expressed that his independence was expressed in many different areas: for example, since he was young, he knew that they have to protect girls. In the Central University for Nationalities where he was studying, because he had to protect the girls in his class from fighting with gangsters. “My classmates were mostly girls, there were so little guys it was pitiful. Hence, being a bodyguard was hard to avoid. There was once, a few gangsters from another school bullied the girls in my class. I acted as their knight in shining armor. Actually, the girls in my class are very fierce. Normally, they are the ones who protect us guys.”

C
Hard times
After eating this meal, think about things
Using the time spent crying to work
Han Geng was not very willing to spend time reminscing on his memories of the hardships he went through in the past few years. During the interview, he always said to me, “I feel that young people going through hardships is not bad. You can look at it from a different perspective, you reap what you sow. Besides, going through these hardships is my own experience, it is my gain, it is something that no one else has. So, I don’t have a need to tell other people about all the hardships in my life.”
To Han Geng, the pain of not having anything was far less important, but when the topic of his experience of just graduating from the Central Universities for Nationalities was brought up, he couldn’t help being saddened. “At that point in time, I was supporting myself. Later in Beijing, I couldn’t endure it anymore. There was no money to be earned, so I went to Shenzhen. The worst thing was that then, my room was rented. After eating this meal, I would be wondering buy my next meal…… In Korea, if the stress was too much, I could just cry it out, but in China, I didn’t even have time to cry. I used the time I spent crying to earn money to support myself, thinking of ways to fill my stomach.”
Besides the stress of living, what made Han Geng feel sad over was that since young, he had to bear with being separated from his parents. Now, returning to China to develop, the distance between him and his parents has closed a lot, “The me at 12 was separated from my parents. They were both working away from home. Even during the summer or winter holidays or during the New Year, either my dad was working or my mum was working. The three of us were rarely together. That period of time was hard to cope with, but I understand them. It was for their child’s sake. Hence even though I was young, I knew that I had to work hard so that they wouldn’t be worried.”
Mentioning schooling, Han Geng yet again thought about this memory: that year I just arrived at BeiJing, trying to get into the Central Universities for Nationalities. Because he missed his family, he even sleepwalked. “The teacher was especially strict with me, other people took 1 year to learn martial arts, I took only 1 month. So during that time, my body was filled with bruises, many patches over my body. After that, every one called me Sika Deer. I was in a lot of pain, everyday I would shout Mum, I don’t want to take the exam anymore, I just want to go home. Maybe it was because I missed my home too much, there was once I actually sleep walked. I dreamt that I was walking home.”

D
Parents Kindness
Dad accompanied him to Korea
Opened a dumpling shop and beauty salon for mum
Even though there was a big distance between him and his parents, Han Geng and his parents’ relationship was especially good. That year when he first arrived at Korea, his father was by his side. His father even represented the 18 year old him and signed the contract with SM entertainment. Now, every time he remembers his father’s line “just like that, selling my son away’, Han Geng would still be moved to tears. When talking about his mother, Han Geng was filled with gratefulness, “At that time, to send me to school, mum went alone to Shenzhen to work, for 6 years. She suffered so many hardships, but she always supported me till I graduated. In respect to the love of his parents, Han Geng expressed, “Dad and Mum really gave a lot to me, in fact, they never asked me to earn a lot of money, they didn’t ask me to to become a celebrity, they only asked me to lead a happy life, to be happy with my job. That is enough. Now whenever I’m in Beijing, I’ll live with them.”
To repay his mother for raising him, Han Geng used his first salary to buy his mother a dumpling shop, after that he opened a family beauty salon, “Opening a dumpling shop was to enable mum to have something to do in Beijing, the restaurant isn’t big, but it lets her have some fun. She is one who is not idle, and as long as she’s happy, it’s okay. My mother has a wish, and that is to open a beauty salon. Because in the past, she used to work in one, so I opened a beauty salon for her. Now even though she’s running to places, even though she’s tired, I can feel that she is very happy, totally different from last time. Before she came to BeiJing, mum’s face was yellowish, her health condition was especially bad, now she has totally changed.”
Han Geng is one who knows how to be grateful, besides his parents, he knows who helped him in every phase of his life at the back of his hand. “I’m quite lucky, ever since I’ve been born, till today, I’ve met a lot of talented people who helped me in different phases of my life. For example, the Bei Jing teacher who helped me to enter the dancing world, the big brother who brought me to Korea, and my manager Sun Le who is helping me in this phase of my life. He was with me through the toughest period in my life, and also in my new beginning.”

E
Emotional problems
How can he have the mind to look for a girlfriend
Even mother can’t be bothered
For a long time, Han Geng’s emotional problems were always followed by the public. His fans “Geng Fan” has expressed a letter “An open letter to Han Geng’s future girlfriend”, hope that the lucky one who will walk with Han Geng will give him a lifetime of happiness on behalf of his fans. However, from Han Geng’s point of view, at this point in time, he still does not want to, or dare to find a girlfriend. “Right now I don’t have the time to think about that problem. Everyday my schedule is packed, making my head ache, how can I find the mood to go look for a girlfriend?! What’s more, everyday, my circle of friends is the same 5-6 friends. There isn’t much chance to come into contact with girls.” Han Geng still has some misgivings in his heart, and he doesn’t dare to have high hopes that people will be bold and like him, “I’m like that, everyday running around, even if I have a girlfriend, I won’t have time for her. Even if I have time, I can’t accompany her for shopping or watch movies with her. It’s unfair to her. Tell me, will any girl want to find a boyfriend like that? So I can only leave it to fate.”
Han Geng patiently expressed that to him, love is an old problem. At 15, he had an adolescent love, he professed to that girl, “That was a childish love, it can’t be counted as a first love.” At 19, he fell in love with a girl, did they date? They dated for 4 years and he gave up his first kiss but it came to nothing. Until now, Han Geng’s destined girl has not appeared. In the beginning, his mother was very worried. She tried to introduce him to girls but after she failed a few times, his mother cannot be bothered anymore.”My mum discussed this with me a few times, now she isn’t that anxious. In the past, if she liked this girl, she would definitely ask me ‘is it okay? Is it okay?’. She even introduced me to a neighbours or girls in our hometown. But I was too busy, there was no time at all to meet them. After that incident, my mother did not care about my love life.”

F
Alternative interests
Rearing chinchillas
No love of luxury, love of humble abode
Even though he is scared he doesn’t have time to look after his girlfriend and not daring to find one, Han Geng said that his life isn’t lonely because he has 2 cute chinchillas in his house to accompany him. Han Geng joked, “Chinchillas are very easy to breed, you just have to give them food and water. Even if you don’t attend to them for 2-3 days, they won’t die. For workaholics like me, breeding chinchillas is more suitable than looking for a girlfriend.”
Han Geng said to the South Metropolis Daily journalists that since young, he loved rearing animals, his hobbies are different from other people, their ‘tastes’ are different. “Last time I bred a vulture and other special types of lizards, they all scare other people. I’m not scared, I think it’s quite fun. I remember when I was in vocation school, I reared a very long lizard. When it was the winter holidays, I was scared that no one would take care of it so I carried it onto a bus to get home. But the nearer we got to home, the more that guy(lizard) stopped moving. In the end when we reached the Northeast, it froze to death……After that then I learned that lizards live in warm places, how can it survive in a place as cold as the northeast. Sigh, after rearing it for so long, it made me very sad.”
Han Geng’s unusual actions do not end there. Normally when people earn money, they wish that they can move to a bigger house to live, but Han Geng doesn’t want to. He just likes to ‘live humbly’ in a small house. Only he himself is using it so it’s enough. “I’m still young, I don’t have a need to live in luxury, fighting on is better.” However, don’t think that the reason that Han Geng “lives humbly” is just because he lives alone. He gets along well with his neighbours. “My current neighbour is also from Northeast China. When I meet him, he will ask me ‘Han Geng ah, are you busy recently? Sign an autograph for me! Haha, this feeling is rather nice, quite meaningful.”

G
Career prospects
Album, opening concert
Want to enter the acting industry
After leaving Super Junior and going solo, Han Geng’s career can be said that it is going smoothly. After 7 months of hiding, he released his new album “Geng Xin”. After his opening concert in Beijing in July, many contracts have followed. After returning to his mother land and developing his career prospects, Han Geng was frank, don’t talk about results first, but at least his mood is more relaxed than before. “Before, we were one team, as the leader, I worry about things a lot. Now it’s more relaxed, the stress isn’t as much as before. There are many people by my side helping me, they’re as close to me as my own kin.”Han Geng said that before he returned to China, he made the worst possibility; if he did not succeed, he would become a dancing teacher. Now, he has many outstanding achievements, he has a new goal-besides training his voice he wants to be in the acting industry, acting in dramas. “Currently, there are many roles being discussed, there are movies and dramas but we have not signed the contract.”
Han Geng even revealed his other wish: participating in more charity events. “Last time in Korea I did not have the time to do charity. But now I have the time and chance, I hope that I can help more.”
Mature.”Went I first graduated I told my mum, I would definitely not take a single cent from home, I will work to support myself. Only once when I was desperate because it was winter and I did not have any blankets I asked for $500 from my parents.
Naive. “I bred a very long lizard. During winter I was scared that no one would look after it so I brought it home with me. But as I got nearer to home, it moved less, when we reached the Northeast, it froze to death…”

Eeteuk and Donghae from Korean idol group Super Junior visited PEACE HOUSE, a female protection clinic in Vietnam, along with a Vietnamese organization. They went to comfort and bring hope to women whose human rights had been previously abused and devastated.

Dozens of young females live in PEACE HOUSE, who had suffered work overload, smuggling and have had other painful experiences. The women are currently receiving psychological treatment and daily life activity training.
On that day, Eeteuk and Donghae went to meet 4-5 of the females, and seriously listened to their painful experiences. They encouraged these women eagerly, and told them to live on trying their best.
They held a mini-”signing-session” on the spot, giving all the women there their heartwarming encouragement.

Afterwards, Eeteuk said that listening to all these young women’s painful stories hurt his heart a lot, and that he felt very sorry for them. He also said that the society needed to give more attention, care and support towards these abused women.

Super Junior, who participated in the Global Donation Charity Concert “MTV EXIT” representing Korea, will join other world wide assistance organizations to give care and support to the women whose human rights have been devastated – who have been smuggled, sexually and physically abused etc. World wide assistance organization such as US AID, AUS AID etc.

▶Always hard working, but a ‘Cool Guy’ who doesn’t drag on.

It’s his first drama for 3 years ever since ‘the Legend of HyangDan’. He will be acting as ‘picky top star’ Sung MinWoo along with Chaerim, ‘ajumma manager’. He was easily seen on TV as Super Junior’s SiWon for many years, but he couldn’t resist his want to act. In fact, he debuted as an actor before his debut as Super Junior. I told him his filmography is not very much known (even though he acted in ‘18 vs 29’, ‘My Precious Family’, and ‘Drama City – charnel house boy’), he takes it without offense, answering coolly.

“There are pros in many people not knowing my past works. I can be show them better side of myself.”

In fact, he is unusually modest for a celebrity. All the people who know him credits him for his good manners. It’s hard to imagine ‘Good mannered guy’ SiWon falling in love with ajumma manager as ‘picky top star’. Especially it’s his first leading role in a drama. Wouldn’t he be pressured?

“I wanted to challenge the role because it was different from my real self. I like the good mannered image but I don’t like being caged in as one image. To tell you the truth, I don’t feel any pressure.” I told him there is unknown confidence coming from him, he denies it quickly. “If I keep tell myself to do better, I could be over confident. So I’ll definitely try my best, but I won’t drag on. (meaning he won’t be greedy for himself)”

He got rid of any greediness but prepared for the drama like mad. After he was chosen for the role at the end of January, he focused on building his body in three weeks. The words ‘chocolate abs’ caught his eyes the first time he read the synopsis, he was pressured. At the start of 2010, he was at 78kg, but he lost 8kg in a week as the result of crude body making for priceless six packs. “The secret? I didn’t eat, but only ran.” He got his perfect body after 3 hours of daily aerobics, and waterless days.

Supports from his family-like SJ members are a big help. Heechul affectionately advised him that ‘since you haven’t been acting for so long, your sense in acting must have gone down, so you have to work hard to get that back.’ Also, Leeteuk, Eunhyuk, and Shindong, (TeukAcademy members) have volunteered to be PRing for his drama.

I got curious about his chemistry with Chaerim. “She’s really nice, taking care of me at the studio. I was worried that it might be hard to get along with her, but she came to me, talked to me first. We didn’t know each other before OML, so I was just a fan.”

▶’Hot Guy’ who would do anything for his love.

‘Gentleman Siwon’ was rediscovered in program “Star King” last year. He had over 60 laundry pins on his face, challenging himself for a new record. His manly tenacity was shown in that challenge. “I hate losing. That time, I wasn’t supposed to do better than the challenger as he came out on TV with it, but I don’t spare my body because that way, I won’t have any regrets after.”

As he tries his best in everything, what would love mean to him. “I will do anything for my love. When I was signing with SMEnt., I asked if it was okay to get married while I had my contract. The president (of SMEnt.) was surprised, asking ‘yes you can.. but do you have one you want to marry right now?’ I replied ‘No, I don’t have one. Not yet.’ (SW smiled here.)

He dreams of a such a devoting love, willing to give anything for the love. “I want to have a happy life as you only live once. I want a love where I can give anything, like agape love. The Bible says ‘Charity shall cover a multitude of sins’. (in Korean translation, charity=love) One of his life goals are to be a good son, good son-in-law, good husband, good head of the family, and good dad. He will marry when everything is ready.

I asked for his ideal type, he smiled and said there was a same question in the drama. “ ‘What’s your ideal type, Minwoo?’ then I answer. ‘Of course I like pretty women. But as I get older, I like people I can relate to, I can communicate with.’ And that’s really how it is for me in real life.”

He is a guy who would die for his love. Would he really fall in love with a single mom like in OML even in real life? “You probably wouldn’t believe me, but I’m like a ‘ticking bomb’ in a way. I can’t life. I try not to. Age isn’t a factor to me. I don’t care if my girlfriend is 12 years older or more. If I fall in love with her, then age is only a number to me.

Sina Entertainment News

On Hankyung’s 2010 birthday (February 9th) which is approaching soon, Hankyung’s fans used the “Let Love Fly” charitable activities event as the perfect birthday gift to their idol. However, this is not the first Geng Fan’s charitable event. Since 2007 onwards, under Hankyung’s appeal, Geng Fan already has this charitable tradition for three years. They hope to do their part, giving out everyone’s love, to the people in need of help.

As Hankyung is currently in the midst of a lawsuit over contract termination with SM entertainment, he has been unable to make appearances in public events. But as his birthday is approaching soon, Hankyung’s fans are holding the “Let Love Fly” charitable activities event to Hankyung’s call upon charitable work, as the perfect gift to their idol. Geng Fan’s charitable theme this year is “Let Love Fly”, to raise fund for Guangxi Nanning Mashan county and Fangxiang’s primary schools, Sichuan Bazhong Bazhou district’s primary schools and Sichuan Pingchang county’s primary schools; to help those children to learn and grow up healthily and happily within their best abilities.

As a public figure, Hankyung not only brought fans a magnificent stage, (he brought them) the off-stage sincerity, kindness and helpful attitude. Hankyung has appealed to fans through his personal space** to not spend money on gifts for him, but steer towards helping those people who are in need. Since 2007, Geng Fan has started to use charitable activities as gifts (to Hankyung). Every year, Hankyung’s fans will gather all their resources to do their best for charity, and take this as a gift for their idol. (They) hoped that everybody would contribute and work together with each and everyone’s strength, to convey this love continously.

It is reported that Geng Fan doing charities is not only during Hankyung’s birthday. In the 2008 Southern Snowstorm, Wenchuan Earthquake etc., Geng Fan has very actively did their best. Hankyung’s fans expressed that they will continue to do this kind of charitable events, and at the same time (they) hoped that more people would join them in these events; with the strength of fan groups, to support charity, (and) spread the love, to even more people in need of help and love.

• Why I love Super Junior? I wasn’t into K-Pop when Super Junior debuted, I started noticing them only after they released Sorry Sorry (in my opinion, THE song that shot them to superstardom and got them where they are right now). My first impression of them was “Why so many members?” and “What’s with the haircut?” While watching EHB, it was then when I realized that these boys began to grow on me. They have a nonchalant approach to fame and they don’t take themselves too seriously, that’s a quality I rarely find in other K-Pop groups. I realize in Korean entertainment world, idol images are shaped and they have to maintain that, but every so often, with SJ members, their real personalities appear in interviews, variety shows, radio broadcasts and especially Super Show. They way they interact with each other make me feel like I’m watching the boys-next-door, approachable, funny, dorky and humble. I guess that imperfection shows that they are real and relatable.
  
  Why I love TwELFs and SPL? When I first started collecting information about Super Junior, I stumbled upon several fanbases, but TwELFs stood out to my attention immediately for several reasons: quality content, good English, pleasing to the eyes & easy to navigate.Like any other new converts, I joined in the fandom bandwagon and participated with gusto especially on Trending Topic projects. I was surprised to know that TwELFs founders were still in college, because they ran a tight ship with the blog and Twitter account. I was even more pleasantly surprised when I communicated via Twitter with the founders, because they were so friendly and unpretentious. TwELFs blog has meaty content without sacrificing entertainment value. It is informational without sounding too serious and at the same time, provides all the fun tidbits for fans –newly minted or veteran.
  
  SPL is oozing with creativity (e.g. forum members referred to as Students and Super Junior members as Professors!) and over a short period of time has gained the reputation of being one of the most acclaimed international forums for ELFs. SPL keeps making changes for the better and continues to carry out credible projects for Super Junior and ELFs. SPL is a labor of love, and I salute the people behind it, who are such dedicated hard-workers.
