At that time, we liked the romance in Korean dramas very much and hoped to have similar love stories. The handsome Oba in Korean dramas impressed us even more. They are handsome, capable and infatuated.
They used to be all the rage, especially after the rise of the Internet. News about them filled our eyes. We collect their posters, download their songs and buy the products they endorse …
It is said that the competition pressure of Korean entertainment circle is much greater than that of China, because they are almost all-people entertainment, and talent shows and trainees emerge one after another. The three major companies promote new people every year, and the upgrade is particularly fast. Once there is no popularity, it is really difficult to return to the top.
Some Korean male stars, once all the rage, have plummeted, some have been thrown out of the first echelon, some are fat and broken, and some can keep their first-line works. Look at some of the representative stars. How are they now?
Speaking of rain, computer networks were becoming popular at that time. Many post-80s and post-90s classmates and girlfriends Amway watched Romantic Room, and the lovely and handsome rain conquered the hearts of countless audiences. The appearance of this new star set off a storm in the entertainment circle.
The rain reached the peak of popularity. The drama set an average audience rating of 3 1.9% in Korea, ranking first among Korean dramas in the same period. The drama has been exported to more than 13 countries, such as China, the United States and Japan, among which the Philippines has the highest ratings, with 50.5% and Thailand with 64%. Rain was once popular in Asia, and various concerts and TV dramas of rain were publicized in newspapers and TV.
Rain is also a singer and dancer. His concert was very popular, and he also won the title of "Asian Dance King" with his hard power.
After that, his achievements were beyond the reach of later stars. As the only Korean star invited, he attended the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Moreover, the name rain was compiled into a personal name and included in the Encyclopedia Britannica. Before he became popular, the word rain meant rain.
In addition, he is the first Asian artist to be selected as Time magazine's most influential person in the world twice. In 2008, Rain was chosen as the leading actor in the Hollywood movie Ninja Assassin, and he was such an Asian superstar at that time.
You know, rain, who has achieved so much, is really from a poor family. At the age of 65,438+08, he was attracted by the president of JYP Park Jin-young, a famous Korean entertainment company. He was a trainee for two years and was regarded as a secret weapon.
Because of his excellent dancing ability, he lived up to expectations after his debut and became an instant hit. His first album won five music awards, and he was only 22 years old when he became popular with Romantic Room.
When his career was in full swing, rain had to do military service. 20 1 1, Yu went to military service. Even during this period, he accompanied the president to visit abroad.
During his military service, rain was photographed dating Jin Taixi, the first beauty in North Korea, which brought him many questions and criticisms, as well as many negative effects.
Rain returned to the entertainment circle after his military service. At this time, there are more popular male stars in the entertainment circle, and there have been great changes.
The first TV series "She is Lovely to Me" after his comeback has an old-fashioned plot and low ratings. His acting ratings are not good, and his album sales are not good, which is not the grand occasion of that year.
At the same time, overseas development is not satisfactory. Rain came to China to participate in "Carat Lovers", which excited fans for many years and also caused a frenzy of drama chasing. But this drama only made Dilraba famous. Rain was called a "tool man" by netizens in this drama, but in the final finale, it is bloody that the heroine and the male number two are together.
Then Rain and Jin Taixi got married, compared with other stars' "wedding of the century". Their wedding only cost more than ten thousand yuan. The wedding dress was designed by Jin Taixi himself, and the suit was originally Rain's. No wedding photos.
With the birth of his daughter, rain also worked as a nanny for a while, although his friends asked him to go out for a drink. It can be said that it is a typical image of a good husband and father.
At the same time, the body management was also neglected, and the body was once "out of shape". Not only did he lose his standard abdominal muscles, but he even found a big belly and a bucket waist.
However, Rain soon lost 20 Jin, and together with Yu Jae Seok, he formed a reverb dance trio.
Although rain's popularity is not in those days, his family is happy and he is still doing his favorite music career. This kind of life is also very beautiful.
In 2006 and 2007, Korean male stars appeared like frying pans, and a basic drama became an instant hit, but only a handful of them are still active on the screen. Fortunately, one of them is LEE JOON GI.
LEE JOON GI happened to see Hamlet fascinated by the performance. He is an actor, but his parents strongly oppose him because they think it is idle. However, when his parents died, LEE JOON GI took a part-time job and was admitted to an acting school.
After graduation, he interviewed many roles, ran hundreds of cast, and was rejected. No director appreciates his looks, but everyone thinks his temperament is too feminine and he has a pair of phoenix eyes.
Until 2005, The King's Man cast gave him the role of Kong Ji because he could acrobatic. The role was a supporting role at first, but after the stills came out, LEE JOON GI was so amazing that he changed the role to the protagonist.
It was not until "My Girl" was broadcast 15 days later that the talent of the king was officially released in South Korea.
The number of people who watched The King's Man reached 6.5438+0.23 million, accounting for a quarter of the Korean population at that time. With The King's Man and My Girl, LEE JOON GI became famous overnight and became an instant hit in Asia.
His official fan base registered directly to170,000, and his pomegranate juice sold 48 million bottles in 55 days. The cross earrings he wore in My Girl became the hottest ornament, also known as "the originator of beautiful men".
LEE JOON GI gave up the big screen, and instead of becoming a "Zhong Wudao male god", he continued to devote himself to TV series.
In 2008, he starred in A Plum with excellent reputation, and won three awards, namely, Best Actor Award, Best Popularity and Top Ten Stars.
LEE JOON GI, who wanted to give up the label of "handsome man", began to shoot some tough guy dramas to prepare for the transformation. At this time, I was betrayed by my agent, and all my property in recent years was taken away. More importantly, I lost someone I trusted most. LEE JOON GI has great psychological problems. He is depressed at home all day and addicted to alcohol.
20 10 LEE JOON GI cut off his long hair and officially served in the army. Military service in South Korea is really a hurdle for male stars. Many people's popularity has deteriorated since they left the army, and LEE JOON GI is no exception.
Moreover, he is obsessed with shaping the image of a tough guy, and there is no splash after receiving several plays, but he still keeps a leading drama released every year.
20 16 "Walking on thin ice" was released. Although it is a remake, it continues to ignite hot searches, especially LEE JOON GI's acting skills.
However, in South Korea, where "husbands" come forth in large numbers, LEE JOON GI is slowly "out of breath". Neither the discussion of the series nor his own influence has reached his heyday.
However, LEE JOON GI, who concentrated on acting, contributed a high-scoring drama. His "Flowers of Evil" was launched with zero publicity, but after two episodes, it gained high reputation and high ratings. Douban scored as high as 9.2, and was called the Zhang Dongsheng of South Korea by China netizens.
Now, it seems a pity that LEE JOON GI gave up the big screen and didn't become a "Zhong Wudao male god".
Hyun Bin was also born in 1982, the same age as LEE JOON GI and Yu.
He was rated as one of the four public properties in Korea and also the immortal male god. How did he become a first-line TV actor for 16 years?
Before Hyun Bin entered the entertainment circle, he was already a fan of many classmates and a man of the hour in the school. According to his high school classmates, "the younger generation regards it as a god-like existence", and even the neighborhood and surrounding areas where he lived at school are famous.
Because he is so handsome and charming, it is natural for Hyun Bin to enter the entertainment circle and become famous.
In 2005, the drama My Name is Saint Jin Shun became an instant hit, which can be said to be popular all over Asia. At that time, the highest ratings were above 50. This is Hyun Bin's fourth TV series after her debut. In the prosperous era of Korean dramas, he became a household name and won the MBC Masculine Actor Award and the Best Actor Award.
Hyun Bin is regarded as a national actor with high nationality and good reputation. Later, Hyun Bin appeared in several TV series such as The Millionaire's First Love, which consolidated his popularity. He also had a love affair with Song Hye Kyo Jing.
The Secret Garden, the TV series starring Hyun Bin 20 1 1, once again pushed Hyun Bin to the peak of his career, which proved that it was not luck that made Hyun Bin popular. The Secret Garden's highest ratings are 35.2%, and many girls are fascinated by his role as Kim.
After the second spring of his career, Hyun Bin chose to join the army, which meant that he was not exposed. Without exposure, he will bear the consequences of being forgotten by everyone. Hyun Bin chose the harder Marine Corps, which made his reputation very good.
After military service, Xuan Bin ran to the street to watch some TV plays. Just when the audience thought that he couldn't break the curse of declining after military service, Love Forced Landing, which was broadcast on February 20 19, became a hit.
The sweet "Gao Qian" drama starring Hyun Bin partner Son Ye Jin finally broke the record of "Please Answer 1988" by ratings, became a phenomenal Korean drama, and successfully defended the status of a first-line TV actor in Hyun Bin.
Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin won the titles of the most popular actors and actresses among the 100 awards. This year, the two officially announced their love, also 37 years old, known as "a match made in heaven."
Three explosive dramas have established Hyun Bin as a first-line actor, and Yan Zong is online. Even during his stay in the secret garden, he was also called the "bicycle seat" face, but now Yan is still very attractive and handsome.
Speaking of Lee MinHo, his successor seems to be a long time ago.
This is a drama that can remind countless people of their youth, their working days and their school days. When their mothers really think of their unmarried days, those who go to college think of their junior high school dramas. There are really not many girls who haven't seen this play.
Lee MinHo's overbearing president role in the play captured the hearts of many fans, which made Lee MinHo one of the hottest stars in South Korea, thus establishing his position in the entertainment circle.
At that time, Lee MinHo was also very popular in China. After the broadcast of Happy Camp, recorded by Lee MinHo, it won the first national audience rating that day, setting a new audience rating record for Kuaiben in the past two years, and also stepped onto the stage of the Spring Festival Evening, becoming the first Korean to step onto the stage of the Spring Festival Evening.
At that time, we all photographed Lee MinHo's face because he was very straight. It seems that we found out from him that Han Xing also has double eyelids.
Lee MinHo, born in 1987, debuted at the age of 19. He always has a unique eye for choosing scripts. The drama "Flower Man" made him a household name, and its influence was almost comparable to that of F4 classic "Meteor Garden".
Later, starring in "City Hunter" was well received by Amway, and the heir became popular. Later, The Legend of the Blue Ocean is also a very influential TV series in China. He also tried the big screen, subverted the image in Jiangnan 1970 and played the role of a gangster. Whether it is appearance or performance, it is very suitable for the role.
He went to military service and had to convince him that military service was a watershed in Han Xing's career. Lee MinHo, who finished his military service, is also widely expected. His first play will affect whether he will have a second career.
Lee MinHo carefully selected the script, and emphasized this point in The King: The Forever King. But I have to say that, like other Korean drama male gods of that era, most of them were drowned in the noisy time. The play has a general reputation and did not receive the expected applause.
On the other hand, Lee MinHo was found to be obviously obese by the media. Although he once revealed that his liver was not good, he often became swollen if he didn't agree with a word. However, after gaining weight, Lee MinHo's face value is so different from the peak period that many netizens feel long-lost when they see Lee MinHo gain weight.
As a male star starring in an idol drama, it's really worrying that there is only one street-throwing work in the past four years.
Give a name to a Korean drama that is on fire. You will never fall behind from the stars.
This Korean drama is about a 400-year-old alien who falls in love with the top actress on earth. It was a mess that year, and its popularity has never been surpassed. As a man, Kim Soo Hyun became an instant hit.
That year, Kim Soo Hyun won the Best Popular Actor Award in movies and TV series at the 50th Korean Hundred Ideas Art Awards Ceremony, becoming the first double king in the history of hundred ideas.
The popularity has soared, and he is known as one of the four young students in Chungwdo, South Korea. This drama has exceeded 500 million on the dual platforms of iQiyi and PPS, making it the largest drama of the year.
At that time, not only ordinary audiences stayed up late every week, but also hundreds of stars. Kim Soo Hyun has also been sought after by countless fans. Business endorsements, fan meetings and other activities are non-stop. It is said that the ticket price of the conference at that time was at least 9000 yuan.
Kim Soo Hyun, born in 1988, debuted at the age of 19. The TV series "Dream High", which played the leading role for the first time, ranked first in the annual monthly mini-drama ratings in South Korea, but it didn't take over because the company that signed the contract was small. So he went to school to study acting. After graduation, his role in the hit drama "Will it snow at Christmas" caught the attention of BYJ.
Bae Yong-joon is the first male star in Korea, and his business ability is even more outstanding. Kim Soo Hyun, which signed a contract with BYJ, has good resources. First, he starred in the TV series "Moon Holding Day" and won the Best Actor Award. He also participated in the film "Thieves League" and won the popularity award of Qinglong Film Festival. Then came the film Tripitaka and the drama You from the Stars, which established his status as a Korean male god.
After filming the producer, Kim Soo Hyun was silent for two years, and then went to military service. After he came back, Kim Soo Hyun's partner Seo Yea Ji brought a film "Although it's mental illness, it doesn't matter", which is a very different work. As soon as it started broadcasting, it won an excellent reputation and was resurrected as "Kim Soo Hyun fever".
This year, when his new drama "One Day" just started broadcasting, it was once 9.3 points, and its reputation was excellent. Many people said before that Kim Soo Hyun was out of breath. This sentence seems too early. It's great to look at his latest masterpiece.
Moreover, Kim Soo Hyun's pay is still as high as 200 million won per episode, which is almost/kloc-0.0 million RMB, which is the highest pay in the history of Korean TV dramas, and its commercial value is also top-notch for the entire Korean entertainment circle.
It is said that it is difficult for Korean male stars to return to the peak of popularity no matter how hard they work after retirement. Song Joong Ki is an exception.
In the early years of his career, Song Joong Ki played a walk-on role. 20 10 In the Korean drama Sungkyunkwan Gossip starring Park Youchun, Song Joong Ki plays the cute and handsome Julonghe.
After that, his career began to take off, and the drama "Kind People" starring him won the best acting award. The film Wolf Child, starring in the film, was successfully released, and the box office reached more than 7 million at that time, so Song Joong Ki nominated the best actor for the White Elephant Art Award.
Then Song Joong Ki went to do military service. After 20 15 came back, the first play was Descendants of the Sun. Many actors declined to shoot overseas, but Song Joong Ki was optimistic about the play and volunteered to play the leading role of Liu Dawei.
The battlefield love between a pair of male officers and a female doctor locked Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo, becoming the most perfect gold CP in the hearts of fans.
The drama also swept the entire Asian entertainment circle with overwhelming morale. It seems that it became the hottest drama at that time overnight, and Song Joong Ki became the hottest Han Xing.
He recently accepted the endorsement of 14 in one breath. To become the most attractive advertising king, domestic advertisers spend tens of millions of yuan to ask him to speak.
The following year, Song Joong Ki and Beijing fell in love openly. Within a few months, they entered the marriage hall and held the wedding of the century.
In 20 18, Song Joong Ki showed off his love for his wife, and at the same time, he ranked second among Korean celebrities in the Forbes list.
However, after less than two years of marriage, the two announced their divorce. After that, all the news about Song Joong Ki, except the news about Song Hye Kyo, was hardly heated.
Song Joong Ki has published two works in succession, Chronicle of Asda and Vincenzo. Both works have spent a lot of thought, but both the plot and the word of mouth have been criticized.
Song Joong Ki also starred in a Korean sci-fi movie "Victory", which was also very popular and did not become a phenomenal explosion.
Song Joong Ki also complained many times about his declining face value. Even in the photo, his face dropped obviously, looking a little tired, with sunken temples, heavy dark circles and swollen face.
Now 36-year-old Song Joong Ki has lost a lot of collagen on her face, and the handsome feeling of her childhood when she was very popular has disappeared.
There are always flowers, and it is difficult for stars to be popular all the time. These Korean male stars were popular in Asia at that time, and they were also a bright color in our memories of youth.
It's just that appearance will always decline, but a good work can't be performed as long as it has a good appearance. Only by persistently exporting good works can they gain a firm foothold in the entertainment circle.
