When it comes to Park Jae-sang, everyone doesn't know who he is, but many people are familiar with Uncle Bird. In 2012, he became popular all over the world with a song "Gangnam Style". It surpassed the Guinness Book of World Record of 803 million hits set by Justin Bieber. According to the popularity of "Gangnam Style" at that time, Uncle Bird is likely to have a place in the Korean entertainment industry. But now it is rare to see Uncle Bird on major platforms.
Uncle Bird is Korean and his real name is Park Jae-sang. What is unexpected is that Uncle Bird's reputation is extremely poor in the mouths of the Korean people, and he is regarded as a shame in South Korea. Let's take a look today.
Some people may find it strange to mention that Uncle Bird is Korean, because the entertainment stars who come out of the circle from South Korea are either white-skinned and beautiful long-legged beauties or tall and handsome Korean Oba. It is difficult for a singer with a plump physique and not outstanding appearance like Uncle Bird to imagine that he came out of the Korean showbiz circle.
In the absence of Gangnam Style, Uncle Bird was a fat house in the kimchi country. It's a rich fat house to be precise. His grandfather was the owner of a semiconductor company that supplied two-thirds of South Korea's electronics market. His father was the president of a public company, and he was the only son in the family, and he was loved by thousands of people from an early age. And he is like the chaebol boy in the Korean idol drama, unwilling to inherit the family property and has to go alone.
Uncle Bird has been inspired to enter the entertainment industry since he was a child, but his family does not agree. The point is that in the Korean entertainment industry, Uncle Bird's appearance does not have an advantage. So the family arranged for Uncle Bird to study business at Boston University. But Uncle Bird was reluctant and skipped class every time he went to class, and eventually he was expelled from school. After the expulsion, the family, in desperation, sent Uncle Bird to the Berkeley Conservatory of Music.
The family thinks that since you are not interested in business, you will break through in the entertainment industry. But what people did not expect was that this world-renowned music school, ranked twenty-fifth in the world, did not cultivate Uncle Bird. At the Berkeley School of Music, Uncle Bird and Wang Lihong became alumni. But he didn't care about his music studies, and Farr used all of his tuition to buy music equipment, computers, keyboards and other equipment. It was precisely because of this that Uncle Bird did not graduate from the Berkeley School of Music.
But Uncle Bird, who had a wealthy family, eventually arrived directly in Rome and entered the entertainment circle. Uncle Bird, who returned from conservatory in 2001, released his debut album PSY from the PSYcho World! Unfortunately, the response was mediocre. The wealthy family gave him wealth and freedom, but failed to give him a face that fits the K-POP star in the hearts of Koreans.
But fortunately, Uncle Bird still successfully entered the Entertainment Circle in South Korea. However, because of his appearance, his career was hindered, which made Uncle Bird both helpless and ridiculous. But he didn't give up his entertainment career because of it. However, Uncle Bird encountered korean military service. When Uncle Bird encountered the military service in South Korea, he was in the development period, and when he returned from military service, I am afraid that the show business circle has forgotten him. Moreover, this boy who had been favored since childhood could not stand the training in the army.
So in 2005, Uncle Bird bought an engineer certificate at a large expense by relying on his family connections, and went to serve in a network company as a technician. Compared with life in the barracks, the network company does not need physical training at all, and is very free, almost more comfortable than the troops. Moreover, with the strength of Uncle Bird's family, he only needs to clock in to and from work and spend three years in a name.
But Uncle Bird did not take the usual path, during the military service of the network company, Uncle Bird opened fifty concerts in order to make money, not only making a lot of money, but also did not pay attention to the rules of the country. So his high-profile performance caused public dissatisfaction, for a long time, the Korean people spontaneously boycotted his songs, Uncle Bird was not only criticized by the Korean people, but also fell into the trough of his career.
In the end, the relevant departments had to intervene to rectify. Uncle Bird was also sentenced to re-serve for twenty months, which slowly calmed down the voices of the people resisting him. In 2010, Uncle Bird ended his military service, signed a contract with YG Agency, and released the album PSY Five. This song brought him back to the public eye. At that time, South Korea was affected by the world financial crisis, and its economy was very sluggish.
The atmosphere throughout Korea is also very depressed. In this case, Uncle Bird hopes that there is a song that can boost everyone's morale, so that everyone can't help but be happy when they hear it, so "Gangnam Style" came into being. Magical songs and unprecedented horseback riding dances, coupled with witty MV painting style, quickly gained the love of the Korean people. Soon the song swept across the globe like a tornado, and for a moment everyone could hum oba Gangnam Style.
Later, this song not only exploded in South Korea, but also successfully opened up the Chinese and European markets, and even thousands of netizens rushed to imitate. Down to three-year-old children, up to dozens of years old square dance aunts and uncles, even Zhou Runfa will dance for a while. That year, Uncle Bird simply lived a phenomenon. Just a few days after the song was released, it topped the thirty-five national charts, including the United Kingdom and the United States.
He has since appeared on the cover of America's most famous music magazine and obtained a visa of the same level as David Beckham. Dancing with 20,000 people under the Eiffel Tower, he was also invited to the White House dinner and was loved by politicians from all over the world, and Uncle Bird at his peak was not only popular among the people, he was also loved by politicians of various countries.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon received Uncle Bird at the United Nations Headquarters and happily learned to ride a horse dance with Uncle Bird. Thailand's King Bhumibol invited Uncle Bird to his celebration party in Bangkok on his birthday. At the White House Christmas party, Uncle Bird performed in front of President Barack Obama as an Asian guest, and he also became the first Korean singer to speak at Oxford University, and the following year appeared on the podium of Harvard University in the United States to speak to students. And Uncle Bird is using this song to harvest fifteen billion in two months.
At that time, it was understandable to say that he was the most influential person in the world. Not only that, Uncle Bird also pulled back The Financial Crisis in South Korea with this song. However, with the honor comes many doubts. Some people pointed out that Uncle Bird's Gangnam style m v is full of vulgar and vulgar shots, but no matter how much there is doubt from the outside world, Uncle Bird does fire all over the world with a phenomenon-level momentum.
After reaching the peak, Uncle Bird is naturally not willing to return to mediocrity again. Maybe Jiang Lang was finished, and Uncle Bird began to play the edge ball. After Gangnam Style, he wrote a song called "Gentleman", which continued Uncle Bird's untamed, exaggerated and interesting style, and the lyrics were hot and bold. The MV is also full of exciting shots.
However, many of the actions in the MV of "Gentleman" were questioned as disrespecting the female group, and Uncle Bird was once again criticized by the outside world. But Uncle Bird did not care, he said that he was not an elegant person in the first place, the song was composed according to his life perception, and there was no meaning of insulting women.
However, it was not long before South Korea's KBS TV station banned "Gentleman". Because in the MV, Uncle Bird has a scene of kicking the barricade away, and it is this shot that KBS TV believes will bring bad effects to minors. So he informed Uncle Bird to delete and modify the MV of "Gentleman", otherwise it would be banned.
As soon as the attitude of KBS TV came out, many people who could not accept Uncle Bird's style in the past have stood up, resulting in a great impact on Uncle Bird's reputation. He was then embroiled in a South Korean nightclub sex scandal. According to YG employees, because Uncle Bird brought huge wealth to the company, YG President Yang Xianshuo personally organized a banquet to entertain Uncle Bird.
In order to show sincerity, Yang Hyun-sook found more than two dozen women to serve Uncle Bird, but the multi-person movement was quickly grabbed by the Paparazzi in South Korea, but Uncle Bird slyly argued that he just drank some wine and left. Nothing was known about the more than twenty young girls, but the matter of military service made the public no longer believe in him. Uncle Bird's social image is once again discounted. After these two things, Uncle Bird was silent for a while.
I had planned to wait for the limelight to pass before I could make a comeback, but I didn't want to do it alone. After the nightclub scandal was exposed, Uncle Bird was exposed to smoking contraband. This made the South Korean public boycott the man. Subsequently, Uncle Bird refused to perform military service, smoked contraband, and multi-person sports in nightclubs were reported on major platforms in South Korea, and more and more people spontaneously boycotted Uncle Bird, triggering more serious boycotts and condemnations than the last time.
But what many people did not expect was that Uncle Bird's matter did not end, and then Uncle Bird was exposed to plagiarism, and it turned out that the original author of the "Gangnam Style" that he was proud of was his friend Jin Changxun. After Learning of Uncle Bird's plagiarism, Kim Chang-hoon desperately defended his work without success. This led to a mental breakdown and attempted suicide. As soon as such a thing came out, it was a big surprise.
In the eyes of the South Korean people, Uncle Bird has become a "murderer", and even the shame of South Korea, so more and more accusations and resistance have also made Uncle Bird begin to rethink himself and look for opportunities to rise. Subsequently, Uncle Bird withdrew from the front line of acting and threw himself into the cultivation of artists, signing the popular Jin Xuanya and her boyfriend Jin Xiaozhong.
Nowadays, Uncle Bird has also begun his own work, but compared with before, he is much more low-key, not only doing behind-the-scenes work, but also being a mentor, selecting new people, and being a trainee. In fact, even if Uncle Bird does not do behind the scenes, he can still go home to be a comfortable rich third generation, and even the money he earned because of "Gangnam Style" is enough for him to enjoy his old age.
