WITH the recent release of their second album Don’t Don, the South Korean boy band, Super Junior, are creating another wave of sensation (狂热) across Asia.

Han Geng, better known by his Korean name, Han Kyung, stands out more than any of the other 12-members in the band, because he is Chinese.

He is one of the three lead dancers in the group, but the 23-year-old had to overcome plenty of obstacles to make it as a singer in a foreign country.

Han was brought up in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang. Born with a talent for music and dancing, the boy from the Hezhen minority (赫哲族) went to Beijing at the age of 13 on his own to learn dancing. While studying at Central University for Nationalities, Han made every effort to learn the Chinese traditional dances from the 56 ethnic groups (民族) as well as martial arts and ballet.

Han was discovered in 2001 at the H.O.T. China Audition Casting, where his handsome looks and skillful dancing made him stand out from over 3,000 candidates.

But stardom (成名) in South Korea didn’t come easily. When Han arrived in South Korea in late 2003, he had to receive individual lessons in singing, dancing, and acting. As a foreigner, he had much more to learn than the other band members. He slept for just four hours a day and spent the rest of time perfecting his craft (技艺) and learning the Korean language.

Two years later, SM Entertainment finally announced Han as a member of Super Junior. But during the first few months of Super Junior’s appearance Han was forced to wear a mask when performing on TV programs in South Korea because he is Chinese.

“Those years were my hardest times, but I had to go on. I would not give up,” he recalled.

All the effort finally paid off in 2006, when the band’s first album, Super Junior 05, won lots of awards. At the awards ceremony, for the first time he used Chinese in front of the flashing (闪烁的) cameras to express his feelings and his pride of being Chinese.

“I’m really happy to win the award after all the hard work. I hope everyone here looks forward to the day when we perform in China,” he said.
