How do Celebrities Return after Disturbing the Public?

The celebrity industry has many rumors and problems with the joys and sorrows of celebrities mingling day by day. It takes only a shameful act to drop a top celebrity to the ground.

Last year and this year, celebrities were caught up in an unusual amount of problems. An idol singer’s drunk hit and run, a popular gagman’s gambling and car theft and other shocking events that brought disappointment to their fans.

These celebrities can be classified into a variety of categories such as ‘going overseas,’ ‘frontal breakthroughs,’ and ‘changing industries.’

There is also the exact opposite by opting instead to take a longer leave in order to reflect on one’s self. In the case of celebrities that have yet to enter the military, they voluntarily enter before their comeback.
Let’s examine the four different styles.

- Frontal Breakthrough Style
After the controversy is settled, the celebrity in question makes a full frontal comeback after taking a reasonable amount of time off and attempt to show a new image of themselves. Examples of such stars are Kwak Hanku and Kim Junho.

Kwak Hangu was caught stealing foreign cars twice and has recently returned as a used car dealer. By opening a new site for used cars, he’s established a new life. Kwak Hangu stated, “I will show you that I will work hard. Please watch over me without any colored lenses.” Regarding his comeback to the industry, he replied, “I am always interested in gag.”

Kim Junho, after being met with a gambling controversy, returned to broadcasting. He returned last March on KBS 2TV’s ‘Gag Concert’ and is now an MC on Ystar-TV’s ‘DC Inside Show.’ He stated, “I’m still careful but I would like to show you that I am really reflecting on my actions through various different promotions. I want to show you that I am working hard.”

- Changing Industries Style
There are celebrities that comeback through a different genre, for example, a singer coming back as an actor or vice versa. Returning through a new industry shows the celebrity’s willingness to change themselves. Examples of such celebrities are Jaebum and Go Hokyung.

Jaebum ended his career in Korea after being swept in controversy for belittling Korea and withdrawing from 2PM. He left for America and has become the leading role for a b-boy movie called ‘Hype Nation’ and is currently in the midst of coming back as a celebrity. An associate of the movie stated, “He will be entering Korea for movie filming. You will be able to see good images of him working hard in the country.”

Go Hokyung took time off after being suspected of drug abuse and has recently come back with a new album. Originally an actor, his return as a singer will be his first comeback as a celebrity in four years. He created a comeback project event in order to show his drive. His agency stated, “His comeback is still very careful so he will be promoting through performances as opposed to broadcast promotions. He will also be trying to work again as an actor.”

- International Promotions Style
International comebacks are also being widely used. After being met with a controversy, stars that are careful of making a comeback within the nation opt to go this route. The positive aspects of this route is that it allows a constant exchange between their fans. Shin Hyesung and Yoo Seungjun are of such cases.

Last year, Shin Hyesung was caught in a gambling controversy but has recently announced his comeback with a concert in Japan under the excuse that the concert was unavoidable. The company stated, “The Japan concert was already scheduled so it was not possible to push it back any further. The only way for Shin Hyesung to repay his disappointed fans is to show himself reflecting on his actions through his singing.”

Yoo Seungjun, who left Korea because of his military service controversy, is currently actively promoting in America and China. In an interview last February, he stated, “To me, Korea is my first and last. If I cannot stand back up in the place I fell in, there is no point. I don’t expect to go back in Korea to work again but I do want to be forgiven.”

- Military Service Style
There is also a lot of celebrities that use the military after being met with controversy. They are given two years of time that can be used as self reflection and can also obtain the image of a hard working person dutifully serving one’s country. Super Junior’s Kangin and Joo Jihoon are of such cases.

Kangin became swept in controversy last October for assault, drunk driving, and a hit and run. After paying $8,000 in penalties, he has volunteered to enter the military. By earliest, July, or by latest, October, Kangin wrote in his fancafe, “I am spending time by looking back on myself. Soon, I will be entering the military.”

Joo Jihoon was caught for drug abuse last April and prosecuted with 6 months of prison labor, probation for a year, and 120 hours of community service. In February, upon entering the military, Joo Jihoon stated, “I will do my best to do everything asked. In two years, I will come back again with a nicer image.”

Increasing tension on the lawsuit case, fans are concerned about Han Geng's future

On 13June,2010, Korea SME sternly responded the case of Hangeng, which many people thinks that the lawsuit as came to an end. SME stated that: Contract of Hangeng has not yet been terminated, he’s still under SME. All the activities of Hangeng had to yet undergo SME’s permission and authorization.


The case of Hangeng’s contract termination had caused a big chaos in the entertainment industry. Ever since the commotion settled a bit, Hangeng’s whereabouts has always been secret. After making a quick appearance in America, there had been rumors saying that he is leaving the group and planning to establish a dancing studio with Jay Chou. Moreover, fans had been debating over Hangeng’s case, spreading the news of the unfair treatments provided by SME to Geng, as well as analyzing the future routes of Hangeng, stating that the fans will support him forever.

The response given out by SME today was very stern, stating that Hangeng isn’t freed yet. Undoubtedly, this will be like throwing a heavy bomb to the contract incident, pulling Hangeng, who has been facing lots of uncertainties, back to the whirlpool of chaos. However, Hangeng does not agree with his company, saying that “it’s usual to see K-pop entertainers terminating contract with their companies, if it’s for those who plan to work on his own, it’s really okay.

Stakeholders said that, under the current situation, Hangeng has been secretly working for his new album as well as the arrangements of his performance, and will have a new start in this July. Besides that, Hangeng will be entering the filming industry, and will be appearing on the silver screen soon.

From these, we can see why SME is that concern over Geng’s case, having two different opinions from each side, Hangeng decides to put away the lawsuit case behind, and putting all his effort into his own career. It seems that to exchange his freedom, Hangeng will need to walk the long and arduous journey in front of him.

The name of his new album is…涅盘庚新, the English name is Nirvana Renew.
For those who don’t know, “涅盘” or Nirvana is a Buddhism term, it means being free from suffering, it also means the perfect peace of the state of mind.
If you’ve noticed “庚” Geng is the same “庚” in Han Geng’s name.
“新” means new.

Besides, Hankyung's friend also updated his Weibo about his feeling after chatting with Hankyung:

Dazuo’s Weibo: 今天和韩庚聊完有两大感受：

1.人做任何大家没有想到的事一定是有自己的理由；

2.前段时间备受煎熬的庚饭们终于要解放了，而且是铺天盖地的幸福。

Trans: After chatting with Hankyung today, I realized two things: 

1. When people do the most unexpected things, they always have their own reasons;

2. Hankyung fans that have suffered for the first part will be relieved, and they will be unbelievably happy.
