Han Geng Struggles Hard in Entertainment Circle

Han Geng is a pretty, simple and honest Chinese boy. As a member of Super Junior, a Korean boy band popular throughout Asia, he is the first Chinese artist who has ever become successful in the mainstream artistic community in South Korea. With four years’ consistent efforts, he has established himself in the entertainment circle (娱乐圈). Last year, Super Junior won many awards such as the Best New Player and the Most Popular Group of the year. Because of this, people have begun to pay their attention to this smiling Chinese boy, and wonder how he has survived from the fierce competition in this field.

Han Geng has an unusual story to tell. At the age of 19, he came to Korea alone. Before that, he had received 6 years’ training in dancing as an excellent student in the Dancing Department of Central University for Nationalities (中央民族学院). In spite of that, he had to start from zero in everything, even in dancing. Once he practiced dancing for as long as 20 hours.

As a professional dancer, Han Geng is a little too thin. Thus, he has suffered from injury in practice many times. For example, he once experienced bone fracture (骨折) in his arm due to violent dancing movement. It was found out only later when he went to see a doctor after he felt pain in his arm while doing push-up (俯卧撑) in a gym. The doctor told him that the fracture might have occurred two months before and that the bone had recovered, but unfortunately in an irregular way. Now he can still hear cracks when lifting up his arm. Fortunately, it does not affect his performance greatly.(from www.nmet168.com)

韩庚韩国演艺圈艰辛打拼

韩庚，一位外表俊俏内心纯朴的中国男生，时下风靡亚洲的韩国男子组合Super Junior的成员，更是在韩国出道并打入主流演艺圈的第一位中国艺人。至今在韩国娱乐圈打滚了四年多的他，凭借着坚强的毅力，闯出一片属于自己的天空。去年，Super Junior横扫韩国年度颁奖礼最佳新人、最受欢迎组合奖等众多奖项的同时，人们不由注视到他——韩庚，这位唯一的中国成员，这位始终微笑着的中国男孩。众所周知，娱乐界竞争激烈，在这光辉的背后，19岁就孤身闯荡异国他乡的韩庚是如何挺过来的呢?又经历过怎样的辛酸和千锤百炼呢?

由于有着6年的舞蹈训练，作为中央民族学院舞蹈系高材生的韩庚在进军韩国之前，已经具有相当不错的舞蹈水平。但他刚到韩国受训的时候，身在异乡的韩庚连自己最拿手的舞蹈也要从零开始练习。他最高的纪录曾是连续练舞20个小时。

作为专业的舞者，体型偏瘦的韩庚在长期的练习下也受过不少伤。由于练舞时动作过激，韩庚的手臂曾经骨折。有一天他去健身，做俯卧撑的时候，觉得胳膊很疼，到了医院检查，才知道是骨折了。医生说应该是两个月前骨折的，但医生说骨折已经长好了，不过是长歪了。所以，现在韩庚举手的时候，胳膊就会咯噔咯噔地直响，但幸运的是，这对他的演出并没太大影响。
