Ke Yimin has been brilliant in the Chinese music scene. Born in Malaysia in 1972 to a wealthy family, she has had a passion and talent for music since she was a child. With the encouragement of her parents, 9-year-old Ke Yimin went to London, England to study music, laying the foundation for her music dream.
Living in a foreign country did not erase Ke Yimin's love for music, but allowed her talent to be fully cultivated. At the age of 17, she was admitted to the Royal Academy of Music with excellent grades, where she studied piano and vocal music.
This experience laid a solid foundation for her later music career.
In 1991, at the age of 19, Ke Yimin returned to Malaysia with confidence to participate in the "Voice of Asia" singing competition. shocked the audience with a song "The power of love" and won the runner-up in the finals. This competition not only allowed Ke Yimin to experience the joy of success, but also strengthened her determination to pursue a music career.
Two years later, Ke Yimin ushered in an important turning point in his life at the age of 21. In 1993, she released her debut album "Too Stupid" and officially entered the showbiz. With her sweet voice and affable image, she quickly won the hearts of her listeners.
In the following years, she successively launched a number of best-selling albums such as "Broken Line", "Neighbor's Ear", "Good Man", "Heart Song", etc., breaking out of the world in the Chinese music scene and becoming a hot female singer in Malaysia.
When he was young, Ke Yimin was not only talented, but also had a delicate appearance, so he attracted many suitors. In 1999, she tied the knot with Liu Jiachang's assistant Huang Guofu, and then gave birth to a daughter, which seemed to make her life like reaching the peak of career and love.
However, the seeds of arrogance are also quietly planted under the halo of success. At that time, Ke Yimin was immersed in his achievements, enjoying the popularity of fans and the importance of the record company, but he did not realize that this hard-won success required more humility and hard work to maintain.
As time passed, her career expanded, but at the same time, her words and deeds gradually showed a hint of pride and complacency, laying the groundwork for future controversies.
Stepping into the new millennium, Ke Yimin's career has continued to expand in Chinese mainland. With the fame accumulated in Malaysia, she quickly rose in mainland talent shows and became a judge of many variety talent shows.
For many viewers, their understanding of Ke Yimin began when she served as a judge of "Super Girl".
At first, Ke Yimin was popular for his candid judges. Her words are concise and clear, and she hit the nail on the head, and this "true temperament" character design quickly won the love of the audience.
However, as time goes on, Ke Yimin seems to be more and more immersed in this feeling of being in the spotlight, and her words have become more and more sharp, gradually exceeding the audience's bottom line.
In 2007, Ke Yimin first sparked heated public opinion because he served as a judge of "Super Yake". She said directly to the busty female contestant: "No one wants to see a sow singing on stage.
For the older contestants, she commented mercilessly: "As soon as I sing, my facial features are misplaced, it's too ugly" These remarks immediately caused strong dissatisfaction among the audience, but Ke Yimin didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem at that time.
In 2016, Ke Yimin once again served as a judge of "Super Girl". This time, her words are more scathing, and "golden sentences" are frequent, even exceeding the previous scale. Instead of giving encouragement and advice to the contestants, she made them feel embarrassed.
To the nervous contestants, she said coldly: "Why are you nervous? Don't pretend" to the restrained little girl, she directly scolded: "Are you very good? Put down your figure" What's more, she said to a contestant with outstanding appearance and good singing skills: "It's a fart to be beautiful, and it's a fart to be able to sing, I said you're a fart" When a contestant dared to refute her, she even shouted directly: "Stop singing, get out."
Ke Yimin's eyes were full of a sense of superiority in front of the camera, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was completely immersed in his own world and enjoyed that condescending sense of superiority. However, she seems to have forgotten that she also made her debut as a contestant, and has forgotten the nervousness and desire to be recognized when she entered the competition.
Ke Yimin abused the only power in his hands and deliberately made things difficult for the contestants on the stage, which not only shattered the dreams of many girls chasing their singing dreams, but also seriously damaged her image in the eyes of the audience.
Her caustic evaluation made many young people with dreams feel frustrated and desperate.
However, Ke Yimin, who is immersed in a sense of self-superiority, does not seem to realize that he is losing the support of the audience. She continues to use her biting rhetoric to make a name for herself on the draft stage, believing that her arrogant and irreverent attitude could attract more attention.
However, she didn't realize that this attitude was pushing her to the precipice of public opinion, and at that time, she may still be immersed in her role as a "poisonous tongue judge", but she didn't realize that this role was slowly eating away at the popularity and favorability she had accumulated over the years.
2018 can be described as a major turning point in Ke Yimin's life, she participated in the variety show "Super Speaker". Although public opinion's evaluation of her has changed significantly, she still does not change her stubbornness, believing that she is not wrong.
In the show, when a host kindly suggested that she could try to treat the contestants in a gentler way to avoid undermining the contestants' self-confidence, Ke Yimin responded impatiently: "I don't want to chat with you anymore, you don't want to comment on me" This attitude once again aroused the audience's dissatisfaction and further deepened the public's negative impression of her.
Despite this, Ke Yimin still insisted on her opinion, but life gave her a heavy blow. It was in this year that her husband Huang Guofu passed away suddenly. The death of a partner who was supposed to be in love with each other revealed an unknown past.
Ke Yimin was shocked to find that her husband still had a "lover" outside, and without her knowledge, she secretly sold the house and gave it to the woman, and what made her even more unacceptable was that her mother-in-law still did not agree to her share of her son Huang Guofu's inheritance.
The sudden change overwhelmed Ke Yimin, who was once beautiful, felt that she had lost all her support overnight, her eyes were full of pain and confusion, and her former sharp spirit seemed to be overwhelmed by the burden of life.
In terms of career, she has fallen into a trough because of the pressure of public opinion, and the blow of family life has made her feel helpless, as if she has lost all support overnight.
This double blow made Ke Yimin gradually disappear from the screen, with no works and no announcements. The judges who were once high up can now only hide in the shadows behind the scenes and lick their sorrows.
She begins to reflect on her life, but doesn't seem to fully see her mistakes deep inside her, still stubbornly believing that she was right and just misunderstood.
During this period, Ke Yimin's eyes revealed tiredness and confusion. She began to realize that life is not always smooth sailing, and that the glory of the past cannot be relied on forever.
However, she did not completely let go of her arrogance, and this attitude laid the foundation for her future comeback.
The trauma of life made Ke Yimin begin to take a serious look at his situation. She began to wonder if there was really nothing wrong with her words and actions, and began to wonder if her past judgments were always accurate.
But how can habits and personalities that have been formed over the years be easily changed? Although Ke Yimin began to reflect on herself, the process was undoubtedly long and arduous, and she needed time to endure these changes, and she also needed the courage to face her mistakes and future challenges.
With the rise of the online live broadcast boom, Ke Yimin found an opportunity to return to the public eye. From the high-ranking judges in the past to today's "newcomer", Ke Yimin had to put down his body and start again.
According to the assistant next to her, this comeback opportunity is Ke Yimin's quest for relationships through the company, and the process of winning it again and again is undoubtedly a profound experience for her.
After Ke Yimin's comeback, he did show a different side from the past. Her "acute angle" has almost been smoothed out in the past two years, and it is no longer as sharp as before. She took the initiative to contact Liang Xinyu, a girl she said she could "pretend", and apologized to her.
For netizens who dream of being a singer, her comments have also become more gentle, and she has also opened a one-on-one online tutoring to patiently teach seven or eight students every day.
Ke Yimin's eyes became more gentle, and her tone became much softer, as if she was trying to change her image and make up for her past mistakes. However, the Internet has a memory, and after she appeared on the Internet, public opinion was still dominated by scolding.
To her surprise, many people paid to enter her live broadcast room not to ask for singing skills, but to abuse her unscrupulously. In her live broadcast, the "quintessence" appeared frequently.
Faced with this situation, Ke Yimin also tried to maintain a normal heart and respond to "You are right", "What", "I can't hear clearly", "It's okay" However, as time went by, she also felt wronged, and was even moved to cry by the abuse.
Ke Yimin's expression gradually changed from the initial composure to tired and helpless. She tried to gain sympathy by showing weakness, but was seen as hypocritical by netizens. Her comeback path was much more difficult than she had imagined, and her once arrogant arrogance had now become a weapon against her.
However, Ke Yimin still insists on his live broadcast career. She went online on time every day, did her best to answer questions for students, and showed a professional and patient attitude. But shadowy moments of the past loom over her, making every live stream full of challenges and unknowns.
Ke Yimin is in a dilemma: she wants to change, but her past words and deeds follow her like a shadow, making it difficult for her to truly gain the audience's forgiveness and recognition.
Although Ke Yimin is trying to change, the negative public opinion on the Internet has not subsided. Every time she broadcasts live, she will receive a large number of attacks from netizens, not only has no intention of learning her music skills, but instead speaks ill of her.
This constant attack made Ke Yi sensitive to deep powerlessness and despair.
During a live broadcast, a netizen suddenly began to scold Ke Yimin when he connected to the microphone, using all kinds of ugly words. Ke Yimin tried to stay calm at first, but as the abuse escalated, her emotions eventually exploded.
Her face flushed, and her voice trembled, "Do you know who I am?" I can ask the police to check your IP, and I won't let you go! "。
At this moment, Ke Yimin's eyes were full of anger and grievances. She finally seems to be able to understand the feelings of the contestants who have been judged too harshly by her. She used to be high, but now she has also tasted the taste of being ridiculed.
However, instead of receiving sympathy from the public, her response attracted more ridicule. Netizens said, "This is the true face of the arrogant and domineering Ke Yimin back then."
有人甚至用英语评论道："Threats are the last resort of the defeated"（威胁是失败者的最后手段）柯以敏的每次回应，似乎都在提醒人们她过去的傲慢。
This continuous negative reaction made Ke Yimin fall into a predicament that she couldn't extricate herself from, she wanted to change herself, but her past words and deeds were like negative energy, always haunting her.
No matter when she broadcasts live, she seems to be being mentally tortured again and again, and she seems to be unable to find a way to get rid of Ke Yimin's eyes reveal deep exhaustion and helplessness, and she begins to realize that it is much more difficult to rebuild her public image than she imagined.
On June 8, 2024, Ke Yimin was scolded as "the quintessence of the country" in a live broadcast with netizens, which made her very angry, lost control of her emotions, lost her image and became angry in the live broadcast, and unreservedly threatened to call the police to check her IP, so that the person who abused her "will definitely be detained for 15 days".
Seven years have passed, and Ke Yimin's eyes are still full of anger and helplessness. During this period, she still couldn't get rid of the shadow of the past. In the identity of the invincible judge back then, she was once the best among the judges, but now she has been reduced to the point of being wantonly humiliated.
She finally experienced the feelings of those contestants back then, and understood how much harm her words and deeds had brought to others.
The incident seems to be a microcosm of the price that Ke Yimin paid for his past arrogance. This leads us to reflect, in the entertainment industry, are "gimmicks" and "personalities" really so important? If you hurt others in order to attract attention, you may end up hurting yourself.
Keemin's story teaches us that respect is the only way to gain respect, and to always be humble and kind, whether you behave in a high-profile or low-key manner. Because you can't foresee whether your attitude towards others today will be passed on to you tomorrow.
Ke Yimin taught us this lesson at a heavy cost.
