Now that more than 3 years have passed since the broadcast of the Korean 101 series of talent shows, after the Ahn Joon Young incident, it is difficult to launch similar programs for a long time in the future.
And now what is the status of these contestants who have come out of the 101 series of programs is also a matter of great concern to the public.
Among them, there are top love beans like Jiang Daniel, some have become actors like Kim Se-jong, and some people have left South Korea like Hwang Myung-ho and Zhu Zhengting to start again.
101 series, top class
From "produce 101" to "produce 202", although Korea's early idol talent shows had various "rules", they really delivered many top love beans to the Korean entertainment circle.
For example, Jiang Daniel, who won the popularity list for the second time, and Park Ji-hoon, who has been invited continuously, are the popular responsibilities who have come out of this show.
However, due to Jiang Daniel's rapid announcement of the relationship after becoming popular, he also lost the support of some fans.
This has also led to Jiang Daniel's reputation is still polarized, so he is also the most controversial artist selected by the 101 series.
In addition to Jiang Daniel and Park Ji-hoon, the popularity of Kim Jong-hyun and Ha Sung-un is also quite high.
Among them, Kim Jong-hyun revealed that he has participated in the recording of nearly 150 variety shows, and his workload is also quite high.
And Jin Pleasexia did not stop singles, even during the quarantine period did not forget to play songs, such a practice made fans both distressed and relieved.
However, from another point of view, busyness also means that the exposure rate will increase, and the popularity of these love beans is also guaranteed.
Compared with the contestants who came out of domestic talent shows such as "Idol Trainee", there are not a few people who continue to stick to the stage by the Love Beans who came out of the Korean 101 series.
The stage dreams they said when they participated in the show were basically realized, so the fans were willing to give more support.
Perhaps only in this way will their career path go further.
Love bean acting, is always a "shortcut"?
In addition to focusing on the cause of love beans, many artists have chosen to turn their attention to the film and television market.
This includes Kim Se-jong, the popular contestant of "Produce101", who gained super popularity during her participation in the show, and after the end of the show, Kim Se-jeong received an invitation from the "School 2017" crew to play the heroine of the play.
Although Kim Se-jong's performance was slightly jerky, this attempt opened up the way for her to be an actress, and she also successfully broke through the limitations of the circle while following the members of the group to participate in the activities while continuing her own path as an actor.
After Kim Se-jeong increased his popularity, her combination also received more attention, and it can be said that Kim Se-jeong also helped other friends of the team realize their stage dreams because of his own efforts.
In addition to Kim Sai-jong, Kang Meina and Bae Jin-young also made cameo appearances in some dramas.
Kang Mei Na even participated in the phenomenon Korean drama "Druna Hotel", in which she played the female number three.
At one point, Comina lost dozens of pounds in order to make herself more in tune with the image of her character, and her dedication was greatly recognized.
From the experience of the above players, it is not difficult to see that starring in film and television dramas is undoubtedly the quickest way to help Aidou's popularity go further.
As long as the love beans are strong in acting skills and can choose the role that suits them, they can easily complete the breakthrough.
This is the same in both korean entertainment circles and in China.
Those eye-catching Chinese faces chose to return to China en masse
In the 101 series, there are also many Chinese artists trained abroad, including Zhou Jieqiong and Lai Guanlin, who made their debuts, and Huang Minghao and Zhu Zhengting, who left a deep impression on Korean netizens.
It's just that these artists, regardless of whether they have made their debut in South Korea or not, eventually seem to have chosen to return to China to develop.
Zhou Jieqiong, Huang Minghao, and Lai Guanlin returned to China at the same time, but Huang Minghao and Zhu Zhengting, who failed to make their debut in the 101 series, turned around and participated in the competition of "Idol Trainee", and Zhou Jieqiong was the mentor of this show.
However, after returning to China, the development path of several people was completely different from when they competed in South Korea, although Zhou Jieqiong had accumulated a certain popularity and the identity of a mentor, but her popularity was soon left behind by Huang Minghao and Zhu Zhengting because of contract problems.
In the end, Huang Minghao and Zhu Zhengting not only successfully debuted but also participated in the recording of many variety shows, and Zhu Zhengting also transformed into an actor.
Although the speed of Zhou Jieqiong's popularity is not fast, she is also stable and steady, and she also participated in popular IP such as "You Fei" after participating in the popularity of variety shows.
Lai Guanlin, another Chinese artist who stood out in the 101 series draft, also chose to return to China to develop after participating in many activities with the group.
Now Lai Guanlin is still in court with his own brokerage company, and wants to completely focus his career on China.
However, after Lai Guanlin returned to China, he did not seem to plan to continue to make love beans, and his first work after returning to China was "The Little Thing of First Love" starring with Zhao Jinmai.
Although Lai Guanlin, who is not from a science class, still has a lot of room for improvement in acting, his performance has basically reached the passing line.
Although the Chinese artists who participated in the 101 draft have achieved good results after returning to China, there are still many people who do not understand their approach.
In particular, most of Aidou choose to enter the film and television circle, which seems to be contrary to their original intention of becoming Aidou.
But in fact, not only Zhu Zhengting and others, from the experience of Kim Se-jeong and Kang Mei Na, it is not difficult to see that becoming an actor is undoubtedly the best way for Aidou to expand their influence.
Popularity is a very real problem, no popularity will soon be forgotten, even if you want to focus on and stage performances, no one is willing to support it.
However, if you blindly pursue popularity and forget your original intention, you will inevitably encounter word-of-mouth problems, so how to balance the relationship between the two is crucial.
Some fans also believe that the transformation into an actor does not mean that you can not continue to make love beans, the two are not contradictory in themselves, as long as you have enough ability to do everything well.
Do you think the stars of the 101 series come out, who has the best development prospects?
