“Since I was young I have watched New Year’s Eve celebrations together with my father and mother, I never expected that I would also be able to stand on this stage today!” Through the telephone it is possible to feel Han Geng’s excitement and energy, while compared to appearing on the night, what made him even happier was that this New Year he can finally have a rest and accompany the family he seldom sees. After the New Year’s Eve performance, his company has arranged a vacation of almost one month for Han Geng, he says he will return home first to rest for two days, then he wants to take his parents on a trip to fulfill his filial devotion.
Previously as a member of Super Junior, in those years Han Geng was always busy with his development in Korea, even though Korea also celebrates the Spring Festival, but there are still some differences to an extent with the customs in China, during vacation periods it was also difficult to come together. “During times of missing my father and mother I could only telephone them to send my regards once in a while. Even though they never complained to me, but there most definitely must have been a void in both their hearts.”
Last year Han Geng finally resolved to go solo, he also terminated his contract with his former Korean management company SM. “Even though these few years there is fame, but nevertheless in a foreign land it can often feel lonely, China is where my roots are after all, I believe by coming back only then is there an even brighter future.” At present the contract termination lawsuit still has not reached the final outcome, but winning the first trial not long ago has filled Han Geng with confidence, he stated that he will not be distracted by this matter because he has lots of other things that he needs to be busy with.
Last year he participated in ‘da wu sheng’ (also ‘My Kingdom’) which has greatly excited Han Geng’s interest in movies, he said this year he will put a large part of his energy into movies, he hopes to be able to try many more different types of roles. Of course his music cannot be put to the side either, last year after he released his first solo album, he wants to make the most of this and release a new album again this year. “Last year when deciding to go solo my mind was somewhat ill at ease, but I’ve discovered now that after going in to fight alone it is instead an even bigger space, for instance appearing on New Year’s Eve is something that I did not expect at all before. Besides luck, I think it is also credit to my fans, it is them that have always supported me and encouraged me, so I want to take this opportunity to say to them, ‘thank you!’”
