Seeing this emoji, I believe that everyone has an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and even more than one in their WeChat emoticon favorites, with various words to become a universal emoji. However, although memes have spread all over China, few people know who the prototype is. In fact, the prototype of this meme is South Korean actor Choi Sung-kook.
This expression is a scene that occurs in the action comedy "Director Kim vs. Director Kim" in which Choi Sung-kook plays a small trick to win a child on a game console, so the expression appears. Because Cui Chengguo laughed and opened his mouth relatively widely, this expression appeared treacherous and funny. Cui Chengguo himself never expected that he, who had no popularity in China, would become popular in China.
Cui Chengguo later said on the variety show "Radio Sta Golden Fishery" that he felt very incredible that his emoji was on fire in China, and was even praised by Chinese netizens as the three major meme giants in Asia. However, Choi Sung-kook also admitted that he did not think that he could be considered a K-pop star in this way, everyone just knew the memes, not him, and even did not know that he was Korean.
In fact, Cui Chengguo debuted in 1995, when he entered the industry through artist selection. In 2003, he starred in "Romantic Assassin" and was well known to Korean audiences.
In addition, Cui Chengguo also starred in the romantic comedy "Color is Empty 2", although this movie has some popularity in China, but Cui Chengguo's role in it is not much, so almost not many people remember him.
After the memes were on fire in China, in fact, Cui Chengguo also thought of using this shareholder wind to enter the mainland entertainment industry, after all, the treatment of stars in China is not a star and a half compared with South Korea. At that time, Cui Chengguo also starred in the Chinese movie "Xiaoming and His Friends", but not many people knew.
At the same time, Cui Chengguo also deliberately opened his own Weibo account, and even used Chinese to interact with everyone very sincerely. However, most of the netizens are visual animals, Cui Chengguo's appearance is not outstanding, and the age is there, so it is not an easy task to become popular in China. Netizens gradually forgot about him after the heat, and now his Weibo comments are only sporadic.
