Song Hye Kyo, Lee Min Ho and Jang Nara were "rejected" in China: What is the cause?

Although extremely famous at home, but when encroaching on the Mainland market, famous Kbiz A-listers like Jang Nara, Song Hye Kyo or Lee Min Ho were "undercover".

The Hallyu wave, also known as an "expansion" of soft power based on the culture and entertainment of the land of kimchi, blossomed strongly from the late 1990s to the 2000s, especially in the country people, a fertile place for any profession to develop.

In Asia in general and China in particular, the Hallyu wave affects many aspects of life. Korean stars can make more profit from Chinese audiences than their home country. Korean entertainment giants have grasped this and actively brought their idols to China.

Therefore, there was a time when many Korean artists stepped up their activities in the country of billions of people, and many of them were warmly welcomed, overwhelming even domestic stars. Jang Nara, Song Hye Kyo, Chae Rim, Song Joong Ki and many popular groups like Super Junior, Big Bang,... all dominated the Chinese entertainment world for a while.

However, the cult period of Korean stars did not last too long in China. Among them, there are stars who are popular in their homeland but still suffer from "underground surveillance" in China.

Jang Nara

Ageless actress Jang Nara was once considered the darling of the country of billions of people. The proof is that when she just moved to China to work, she was invited to play the main role in the movie Puberty, while Liu Yifei only took on the role of a supporting woman.

Besides, the movie Princess Stubborn (2005) starring her and To Huu Bang has gained a lot of buzz. Her ancient costume was later said to "eat off" the beauty "pomegranate dew" Cuc Tinh Y.

And yet, Jang Nara is the only foreign actor invited to participate in the traditional song of the Beijing Olympics (2008).

However, a year later - 2009, she was ostracized all over the mainland just for saying: "Every time I lack m.oney, I always go to China to work". Although the actress publicly apologized after the above statement, the Chinese audience was still very angry and not many wanted to welcome her.

Later, Jang Nara returned to Korea and soon made a splash when participating in a number of television projects: The Last Empress, Destiny I Love You, Vip Guest, Timeless Couple, ... It is said Entering China many years ago was the worst decision of her life.

Song Hye Kyo

Song Hye Kyo is known as the actress with the largest number of international fans in Kbiz. Of course, the audience's admiration for her in China is not small. Even Song Hye Kyo is favored to rank before the "big sisters" in the Chinese entertainment industry such as Trieu Vy, Pham Bang Bang, Ly Bang Bang.

"Best friend Zhang Ziyi" has participated in many Chinese films and resonated, such as Nhat Dai Tong Master or Thai Binh Luan.

Thought that Song Joong Ki's ex-wife's career would go up like a kite thanks to participating in popular movie projects in China, but she was suddenly ostracized because of her arrogant attitude.

It is known that the actress was once stoned for making too many claims that made the units working with her extremely bored. According to the Ifeng site, the beauty surnamed Song once made requests such as: being in the presidential room with 8 bodyguards on duty 24/24, traveling by bulletproof car, not accepting reporters, ...

Lee Min Ho

Asia's king Lee Min Ho almost every year dominates the chart of the most popular Korean actors in the world. However, the male god Pachinko almost failed to conquer the Chinese market.

Specifically, Lee Min Ho was ostracized for "screaming" for too high a salary and many other requirements. This caused the male god to be sarcastic by many pages of information and thought that he was suffering from a star disease.

Even the Chinese press said that the actor actually did not have the capacity to match the above requirements. Perhaps that's why people rarely see Lee Min Ho participating in movie or advertising activities in the country of billions of people.

Up to now, it is difficult for both Song Hye Kyo - Jang Nara and Lee Min Ho to regain their position in China - a market full of potential but also extremely difficult. However, in other countries, including Vietnam, they still have a strong fan base.

Song Hye Kyo shows off her U50 beauty and is supported to replace the role of Liu Yifei Bút Máy16:09:34 14/06/2024At the age of 42, Song Hye Kyo not only does not age, but on the contrary, she becomes increasingly youthful and attractive.
