In his work "The Story of the Rose", Yi Shu commented on the yellow rose in his youth, which is beautiful and beautiful, but has no soul at all.
Clara, Korea's first beauty, is a typical representative of this rose.
Now 35 years old, why is she mixing well in China, but not attracting domestic audiences? What did she experience at that time?
In 1986, Korean beauty Lee Sung-min was born in Bern, Switzerland.
Lee Sung-min is an ethnic Korean, her English name is Clara, and later returned to China to develop, taking the stage name Clara.
Clara has a large number of celebrity relatives, and they are all well-known figures in the entertainment industry.
At the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the Koryana group that sang "Hand in Hand" on stage, three of whom were her relatives.
Mention this group, is a hall of honor in the Korean music circle, Lee Seung-kyu is her father, Lee Yong-kyu is her uncle, and Lee Ae-sook is her aunt.
As we all know, South Korea is a big country of medical beauty, in this country that is rich in artificial beauty under the scalpel, Clara saved a lot of plastic surgery costs as soon as she was born.
As a natural beauty with natural beauty, after growing up, she returned to South Korea, and under the influence of celebrity relatives, it became a natural thing to enter the entertainment industry.
At that time, the throne of Korea's first beautiful woman was still Kim Hee-sun, but as soon as Clara appeared, this position was like the bell of the New Year, and she quickly resigned and welcomed the new.
Although many netizens said that Clara's appearance is somewhat similar to Kim Hee-sun, presumably she herself does not like to compare it, because the beauty of the two is fundamentally different, and she is a truly natural beauty.
In 2004, the 17-year-old Clara, with a set of photos, went viral on the Korean Internet and won the first place in the online beauty photo contest.
In the photos of those who participated in the election, many plastic surgery faces were too similar, even to the extent of a thousand faces, the same awl face, big eyes, and high nose bridge, which made people wonder whether they were self-portraits of the same person.
In that pile of artificial beauty photos, Clara's natural beauty is quite eye-catching.
It is precisely because things are rare and expensive, so Clara's popularity is also an inevitable result.
In 2005, at the age of 18, Clara returned to South Korea, signed a contract with a brokerage company, and officially debuted as a newcomer to enter the entertainment industry.
In 2006, the 19-year-old Clara ended a year of rookie training, and in the TV series "Transparent Man Choi Chang-so", she played a well-bred rich girl, but after the broadcast, the response was mediocre and did not get much attention.
Since the acting skills have not been able to circle fans, then try the strength of beauty!
For the next three years, Clara switched tracks and ran, and she continued her career as a model.
It wasn't until 2009 that Clara re-tested the film and television industry.
In the movie "Five Senses", which focuses on the emotional forbidden zone card, Clara plays a pure and sexy two-in-one high school girl in the emotional story of the fifth unit, which is deeply rooted in people's hearts and has circled many otaku fans.
The actor who played with her at that time was Song Joong-ki, an actor who later played the male number one in "Descendants of the Sun".
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is quite eye-catching, and the two people have gained a lot of attention with this movie, but the development of the two is different.
In 2016, Song Joong-ki and Song Huiqiao partnered to star in "Descendants of the Sun", a tough and handsome military uniform male protagonist, a sweet and lovely female protagonist, after this idol drama spread throughout Asia, the double Song Love also went from the play to the outside, although after marrying the national goddess Song Huiqiao, the ending was not beautiful, but Song Joong-ki's acting career has since embarked on an extraordinary peak of life.
However, his former partner Clara was not as smooth as he was, and several TV series filmed in succession were still mediocre and tepid, which made her once fall into anxiety.
Zhang Nala once said a sentence that angered the Chinese people, she said: "When there is no money, go to China to collect money!" Because RMB is very good to earn."
The heroine Of Ibsen's "Doll's House", Nala, in the Japanese "Sai Yunara", Nala herself has the meaning of running away.
Therefore, Clara began to develop in the direction of internationalization, intending to conquer the hearts of Korean local audiences by using the way of flowering outside the wall and the incense inside the wall.
However, this strategy had little effect, and she once played a Goryeo girl as a guest actress in the Japanese film "In Search of Senritsu", but did not get much attention.
Until 2013, in the Field of Korean Professional Baseball, wearing a baseball uniform that highlighted the figure, with a beautiful good figure, the 27-year-old Clara once again attracted the attention of Korean audiences.
In that competition, Clara was more eye-catching than the champion winners, and in this way, she once again became the most talked about hot person in South Korea at the end of 2013 with her innate advantage.
In 2014, in the world's most beautiful actress competition, Clara won the throne of the world's most beautiful actress, and thus replaced Kim Hee-sun as the first beauty of Korea.
With the aura of honor, film and television resources began to tilt towards her, in the face of the olive branch thrown by various entertainment companies, she selected a TV series starring Li Zhixiao and Li Bimo in the "Emergency Department Men and Women", clara played the innocent and cute intern doctor Han Yarin in the play.
This role became her ladder up the ladder, and there were many passers-by fans.
The following year, she hit the iron while it was hot, and her sexy image in the forbidden film "Working Girl" made her the most popular actress, and there was also a windfall, the penetration of the Chinese market, and thus smoothly.
At the same time, the ambitious Clara has the idea of job hopping.
However, there is a considerable difference between celebrities jumping jobs and ordinary people changing owners to work, and the high liquidated damages are not affordable for ordinary small stars.
When Huang Shengyi and Zhang Yuqi jumped ship, if it were not for the economic strength of Yangzi and Zhang Quan'an behind them, it would be impossible to retreat from the territory of the old owner.
Clara did not have the support of a large model and background behind her, and could only find another way.
As we all know, the public has always hated the sexual harassment and unspoken rules of entertainment industry stars, and will have sympathy for persecuted stars in addition to solidarity.
At that time, because of the Zhang Ziyan incident, which was forced to go to the end of the road, although those involved in the case could not be brought to justice, they also became notorious figures.
Therefore, when it comes to unspoken rules, as long as it is involved, everyone is at risk.
In 2015, Clara, who was as bold as a chest organ, broke the news to the public through the media that she was sexually harassed by the company's senior leaders, a 60-year-old man, for many years, because she was overwhelmed, and she had no choice but to seek solidarity from the media and the public.
At the same time, Clara filed a request to the court to terminate the contract, and in the evidence she submitted, she said that the leader had a husband and had other girlfriends, but he pestered her, and in addition to firing her agent, he often forced her to attend dinner during off-hours and threatened her not to marry.
Once this matter was exposed, the whole country was in an uproar, which aroused the high attention of the police, after all, it is the first beautiful woman in South Korea, how can it be treated like this?
However, after the detailed investigation and evidence collection by the police, the truth of the facts has undergone a shocking reversal.
The accused leader also submitted a self-defense evidence, and through the chat screenshot records, it is clear that Clara has seduced the old leader more.
However, in the face of overwhelming evidence, Clara suddenly changed her tone, explaining that she only wanted to terminate the contract, and apologized to the public, hoping to be forgiven, saying that she was a child who grew up abroad and did not know much about the rules of the South Korean side.
As soon as this statement came out, the whole country was in an uproar, since as a Korean, do not understand the customs and customs of South Korea, then the Korean people do not welcome you, Clara in South Korea for many years of popularity, overnight, instant evaporation.
The use of stealing chickens and not making rice to describe Clara's situation at that time was appropriate, and in desperation, she had to shift the focus of her career to China.
After all, Zhang Nala once said, "If you don't have money, come to China to earn money"!
With the title of Korea's first beauty, Clara's development in China is quite smooth.
In the movie "Acts of the Apostles", Clara enthusiastically pounced on Gu Tianle, that picture, quite fragrant, presumably many Chinese otaku still remember it?
After this, Clara partnered with Xiao Yang and starred in the movie "Love Saint", in which clara played the model YOYO in the 1984 American film "The Girl in Red".
Wearing a red dress, standing in front of the window, imitating the classic movements of Marilyn Monroe, the skirt is flying, the big show has long legs, that picture, in addition to stunning the audience, also let the male protagonist Xiao Yang feast his eyes, and let many otaku lick the screen.
Although this movie does not have a high score on Douban, and is even questioned as a bad film, it has madly earned 658 million box office revenue, and the box office appeal of South Korea's first beautiful woman is indeed extraordinary.
In order to maintain the popularity in the Chinese market, Clara took advantage of the popularity of small videos and took advantage of the trend to shoot a lot of small beauty videos, which were loved by many Chinese fans.
Since Bao Bell turned into a director, the selection of people's eyesight is unique, he liked Clara's box office appeal, although before this, many people satirized Clara is the Chinese film box office poison, but Bao Bell seems to be invincible.
In 2018, under the warm invitation of Bao Bell, Clara happily cooperated with him in the movie "Fat Man Action Team", and the Douban score was still not high, only 4.2 points, but it earned 261 million box office revenue.
In 2019, Clara partnered with the domestic popular little flower Yang Zi and the film emperor Liang Jiahui to star in "Silent Witness", in this movie, Clara did not have a single line, and the daughter of the gangster she played was spat by netizens as a living prop for the movie, which is the finishing touch of the movie.
In the same year, the news of Clara's marriage to a Korean-American investment community shocked the industry, just as Yang Lan said, no matter how well a woman does, it is better to marry well.
The wedding house purchased by the two people in the Seoul skyscraper Lotte World, worth 200 million yuan, is as gorgeous as the Crystal Palace.
In the past, Clara also tried to return to the development of the Korean circle, but several attempts failed to do as she wished, can only say that the Koreans' memory is too good, they have never forgotten what she did.
In fact, how is Clara different from Lalala? Running around, or running back to the place where the origin of the journey, after all, other places are not as good as hometown.
