So, from a Korean trainee to a domestic superstar, what unknown bitterness and despair is hidden in Han Geng’s road to fame?
Han Geng's popularity has given a good start to the "Korean trainees" to venture into the entertainment industry.
Before Han Geng, "Korean trainees" were at the bottom of the "food chain". Even if they trained and practiced day and night, they might not be able to stand out.
But after Han Geng, the once unknown "Korean trainees" all saw the hope of becoming famous. Former EXO members Lu Han, Zhang Yixing, Huang Zitao, etc. of the "Four Returned Boys" all successfully followed in Han Geng's footsteps and became another A group of outstanding new generation artists.
