Born on January 12, 1962, Zhang Haozhe, with a big beard, tall and strong, and a rough voice, gave the impression of a Hanzi in northern China, born in South Korea. In 1980, he came to Taiwan to study, and was discovered to sing in Ximending Western Restaurant, becoming the first Korean singer to release films in the Chinese music scene. In 1988, he released his debut album "Never Go Back to the Past"; in 1989, he became popular for "Speechless"; in 1998, he was selected as "Outstanding Korean Overseas", and was also praised by the then President of South Korea, Kim Dae-jung. Zhang Haozhe, who has been in the music scene for more than 20 years, has released more than a dozen personal albums, and he has strong singing strength, singing many popular fever songs.
In 1997, the song "Good Man" became a famous song known to everyone in the mainland region
In 1998, he was invited by the President of the Republic of Korea, Mr. Kim Dae-jung, to be commended as an "Outstanding Korean Overseas"
He has released 11 solo albums in Taiwan and 4 solo albums (two in Korean, one in Chinese, and one in English) in Korea. He founded the "Two Brushes" music studio in 1994 and began producing his own albums. Since the debut album, the songs he has sung have become household names many times.
Representative works include: "Never Go Back to the Past", "North Wind", "Speechless", "Good Man", "Every Time I Want to Call Your Name", "Flower Season Again", "The World Is Lingering", "Meet Again Maybe the Next Life", "True Feelings" and so on.
Someone once used such two sentences to describe Zhang Haozhe, "standing at the intersection of the street where the north wind whistles, precipitating the vicissitudes of a thousand sails", which is quite appropriate, whether it is his beard, tall and burly figure, or his unique hoarse voice, it does give people a sense of rough and heroic vicissitudes. Such a person using such a voice to sing a song with a soothing rhythm and true feelings is really a special flavor, which is also the unique charm of Zhang Haozhe.
"Turning over the old past, I saw a vicissitudes. I fell in nostalgia and grew up from strangeness...", more than a decade ago, Zhang Haozhe went to Taiwan alone from South Korea to study, and began his acting career there, although he was in a foreign country, but through his own efforts, from a restaurant singer to a step by step development into an idol for many fans today, the hardships paid can be imagined. He has released several albums since he signed with PolyGram in 1987, and the song "Good Man" of that year has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts and widely circulated, and when he sang the "North Wind" with that desolate and slightly magnetic voice, it brought a strong sense of homesickness into people's hearts. Needless to say that "Good Man", which is now known to women and children, has become a proper noun loved by the new new human beings.
There are many girls who regard people like Zhang Haozhe as an object to rely on, perhaps because he gives people the feeling of being a standard good man, and in real life he can indeed be called a good man. Zhang Hozhe and his wife have known each other since 1981 and fall in love with each other, and by 1989, they stepped on the red carpet together, compared with the "colorful" life of other artists, Zhang Haozhe seems to be much more monotonous. Usually not only singing by himself, but also with his wife to take care of the e-commerce clothing business, and use the advantages of the family in South Korea to travel between China and South Korea to do business, every day to drive his wife to work daughter to class is his spare fun. When his wife was unfortunate to have breast cancer, they challenged the disease together, and under his careful care, his wife's condition stabilized and gradually recovered. It is precisely because of this that he is the best interpreter of "Good Man", and his songs can most touch people's hearts.
