At the beginning of September, #Former Taiwanese idol singer as a dentist in Chengdu was on the hot search, and the protagonist of the hot search was xu Junhao, who was once the lead singer of the Komi Boy Group. Founded in 2002, Kemi Kid is a Taiwanese boy idol group created after F4 by Meteor Garden producer Chai Zhiping.
In 2003, Xu Junhao was injured during a performance, he took a three-month break, and suddenly retired during the rising period of an idol group. After a brief period of loss, Xu Junhao decided to change careers. In 2004, he went to Chengdu to study at the West China School of Stomatology of Sichuan University, and after graduating with a master's degree, he stayed in Chengdu, opened a dental clinic, and lived an ordinary urban middle-class life.
It's the story of a star looking for a second life. Now, Xu Junhao is very satisfied with his life.

❶ Dr. Xu</h1>
Xu Junhao, 41 years old, wears a loose blue medical uniform, and the muscle lines of his shoulders and back can be faintly seen. His hairstyle is neatly vintage oily and he has to go to the barbershop every ten days to trim it. In order to be photogenic, the day before the interview, he went to the barber shop on purpose, and he quit the carb for many years, ate white cut chicken for two weeks, and went to the photo studio next door to the clinic to spend fifty yuan on makeup. He does not shy away from maintaining his love of beauty for many years.
In early September, #Former Taiwanese idol singer as a dentist in Chengdu was on the hot search, and after clicking on the entry was an interview video made by Sichuan Observation for Xu Junhao, and netizens called him "a model of idol re-employment".
What really caught my eye was the identity of dentist Xu Junhao as the "former lead singer of the Kemi Boy Group". Founded in 2002, Kemi Boy was a former Taiwanese boy idol group group, as a disciple group of F4, their masterpiece "Youth Commemorative Album" is a good memory of campus life for many people - this is a must-have track for the school's annual sports day, graduation ceremony and other collective activities.
Xu Junhao's clinic is located in CapitaLand Plaza, Jinniu District, Chengdu, where the clinic is located on the fourth floor of the children's clothing store, there is a simulated lane at the entrance, every ten minutes there are parents with their children driving through the toy electric car. Opposite the clinic is a play city, and the words "Hi Up" on the neon decoration at the door are reflected in the upper right of the clinic's glass. Compared with the huge video game city, Xu Junhao's clinic is somewhat hidden.
At the entrance of the clinic stood a medium-sized display board with Xu Junhao's image photos and resume, and the patients who came to see him, the other four staff members of the clinic, including me, called him :"Dr. Xu." ”

Xu Junhao was more enthusiastic than expected, and he talked endlessly. The day of the interview was Friday, Xu Junhao received three patients in a row from ten o'clock, and during the lunch break, he suddenly asked me: "What zodiac sign do you guess I am?" ”
The doctor standing next to Xu Junhao, surnamed Huang, is another attending doctor in the clinic, and he is also a good friend of Xu Junhao in Taiwan for many years. Dr. Huang wore black-rimmed glasses, and perhaps to ensure a clear vision, he combed the relatively long hair on the top of his head into a ponytail.
Hearing Xu Junhao's question, Dr. Huang immediately smiled and answered the call, and his eyes narrowed into a line: "It is the constellation that I hate the most!" ”
Xu Junhao shouted at him: "Really, what is called the most annoying, I am a typical Scorpio, ascending Gemini (Gemini)!" It was on Vivian's show before, she helped me test it. ”
Xu Junhao and Dr. Huang between breaks
Xu Junhao, who claims to be "clearly divided between love and hate, super revenge", has many strict requirements for the details of life. He wore only cool clothes, and in order not to worry about daily wear, he bought seven of the same black T-shirts. He didn't like bright red and purple. When preparing for an operation, there were only purple gloves in the clinic, and after he put them on, he raised his hands and complained to the nurse, "Why this color?" A few days later, the gloves in the clinic changed to sky blue.
In addition, Xu Junhao only sends the circle of friends at the time point when there are overlapping numbers, such as 3:55, 4:33, and 12:00. He also felt that this habit was a little strange, but it would be uncomfortable not to do so.
However, in the face of patients, Xu Junhao is much more easy-going. That afternoon, a fashionably dressed female college student from Guangzhou came to see her, because she was afraid, she had been tense, and Xu Junhao comforted her with only a few Cantonese words she knew: "Are you relaxed, do you want me to sing Beyond to you?" ”
With little break, another mother came to the clinic with her two sons. Her eldest son, fourteen, needed to have one of her deciduous teeth removed. After seeing Xu Junhao's video report in Chengdu Business Daily, she was not sure if it was true and came here to investigate once.
"Today is our first formal consultation, and I feel that Dr. Xu is very good," the eldest son whispered to me sitting in the corner of the clinic when she extracted her teeth.
At this time, the seven-year-old son sitting on her lap used his mobile phone to play Komi Boy's "Supermanman's Heart". Xu Junhao raised his head, pretended to be impatient and said to him, "Why are you playing my song?" ”
The youngest son jumped out of his mother's lap and began to walk around the clinic with a mobile phone playing music. Xu Junhao smiled and continued to focus on the work at hand.
The exposure of the hot search increased Xu Junhao's passenger flow by half. The clinic, which covers a total area of less than 150 square meters, receives 10 to 20 patients a day during peak periods, with an average of 20 minutes. Not all patients know Xu Junhao's former idol status. About four years ago, a local female patient in Chengdu found Xu Junhao through a friend's recommendation, and is now his regular guest. In the consultation room, her eyes occasionally looked at the photographer holding the SLR camera.
I asked her, "Did you know that Dr. Xu was a former member of an idol group?" ”
Her eyes widened in surprise when she knew. After a few seconds, she nodded her head in understanding: "It's also normal, Dr. Xu is so handsome." ”

❷Star Dream, Finish</h1>
Xu Junhao's first serious contact with music was through a friendship with a high school student. He took Xu Junhao to listen to rock music with him and encouraged him to teach himself guitar. The name of the apprentice was later also known to the public, he was the singer Ke Youlun.
At that time, Hui Junhao had just transferred from the United Kingdom to Singapore, where tuition fees were cheaper and relatives lived there. He attended a shift-style American school in Singapore, and as a member of the basketball varsity team, Xu Junhao was always active in the eyes of girls.
"When I was playing basketball, a lot of girls came to see me, and I wanted to say, I could try to be an artist." Xu Junhao said.
Recalling his high school life, Xu Junhao shook his head and said that he was "Narcissism" at that time. He gave up his studies after high school and returned to Taiwan on the grounds that he met a Taiwanese girlfriend at a party. Unexpectedly, after going back, he was dumped.
Regarding dropping out of school, Xu Junhao's father did not understand and was also angry. He cut off Xu Junhao's pocket money and refused to speak to him. Dad was a well-known dentist in Taiwan, and he was also a "historical and literary master with a deep cultural heritage". Xu Junhao said that every man will have a "pull" with his father, and he has always longed for his father to be proud of him.
Xu Junhao did not compromise with his father, he used the pocket money given by his mother and the savings of the band to live in the house, and went to the music school to learn composition and singing. Because of the formation of a band at the school, the team of the well-known producer Chai Zhiping extended an olive branch to him. He remembered the first time he saw Chai Zhiping, and the names she said to him were: "Wu Jianhao, Zaizai, F4", as if he could also become them. Xu Junhao was twenty years old.
The two-year training course is diverse and intense, in addition to vocal music and performance, there are also martial arts, "Wow, Chai Jie's system is simply new start." I also studied martial arts, can you believe it? ”
However, when Xu Junhao debuted as the lead singer of Kemi Boy, he hid his rebellion. The positioning of The Komi Boy is fresh, gentle and sunny, their song style is brisk, and the theme of the works is mostly related to youth. The company's customized personality for him is a "cold man". Xu Junhao, who is now ridiculed by his colleagues as a "talker", could not speak to reporters or smile at the camera. In the cold outdoor performance, in order to maintain the image of "sportsy, cool boy", the other members have coats, but he has to wear a jacket with exposed arms.

In 2003, a stage accident interrupted Xu Junhao's idol career. In the rehearsal of a New Year's Eve show, Xu Junhao needed to skip his teammate Wang Chuanyi through the help of the run, only to fail in the second attempt and face to the ground, after a "bang", he had only one thought in his mind: it was over.
His front teeth were broken, his lip bone was cracked, and he got up the next day to look in the mirror, and his whole face was "swollen like a pig." Xu Junhao naturally used some dental terms to explain the injury at that time: "I need to do root canal treatment, and then I will do a new crown after I am finished, and then you have to wait for this facial feature to get better before you can grind hard, probably without teeth for a month." ”
He rested for three months. A member of an idol group suddenly quit the event during the rising period, and Xu Junhao felt that he had been sentenced to "death".
"My workload has dropped a lot, I'm not sure what I can do, I can't see the future." Xu Junhao said that he did not want to give up, "In his heart, he just felt that I still wanted to do something again, give me another chance, I still wanted to fight, but at that time, I felt that there was not enough spare energy in my heart." ”
In the end, Xu Junhao could not stand the idle "otaku" life, he asked his father for help, decided to become a dentist like him.
Dad was very supportive of him, Sichuan University West China School of Stomatology is one of the best dentistry schools in Asia, he wanted to take the exam to the best school, "At that time I was mainly focusing on Huaxi, so I came to Chengdu alone." ”
In 2005, the boy band trend slowly faded, and the group announced its dissolution three years after its establishment. Xu Junhao has already started his sophomore life at West China School of Stomatology.

Just after leaving Kemi, Xu Junhao's heart would be lost, although he rarely showed it, he said to himself, "I have put down this piece, decided to go to college, and want to be an idol, how is it possible?" Otherwise I wouldn't have read it. ”
West China School of Stomatology of Sichuan University is one of the "Five Famous Schools of Stomatology in China", along with Peking University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Wuhan University and Sun Yat-sen University. In 2004, Xu Junhao came to Chengdu for the first time, and to his surprise, after getting off the plane, there were fans picking him up.
The freshman opening ceremony also became Xu Junhao's autograph meeting: "Boys and girls, both holding books, and Nokia, Motorola mobile phones for me to sign." A teacher took the newspaper and said to him, "It's been a week, and you've been there every day." ”
Other colleges and universities in Chengdu also invited him to sing at the campus music festival. When he goes out to perform, Xu Junhao will take five or six classmates in West China, who are his agents, assistants, and security guards. Xu Junhao said that he did not charge money for his performances, "just go play." ”
Xu Junhao, who performed in West China
He didn't completely take off his idol "baggage." Every once in a while, Xu Junhao went to Chunxi Road to buy clothes. In 2000, before Zara or H&M was in Chengdu, he went to a foreign trade store to buy moderately priced and fashionable clothes. He also liked "hip shoes", "At that time, AJ was not so popular, I bought the Air Force 1. He smiled sheepishly: "My classmates, saying that I will always be 'setting' good." ”
Returning to Taiwan during the holidays, Xu Junhao must find a former star hair stylist to cut his hair, seven or eight hundred at a time, "definitely the level of a cut artist." He still receives invitations to announce, and occasionally, he goes to auditions for movies and TV series, all of which end in failure, "I don't have much time to prepare, I think I still have to study, I can't prepare at all." 」 ”
At school, age put a lot of pressure on Xu Junhao, and he entered the university at the age of 25. When someone asked him how old he was, he couldn't say "1979." When he first entered school, he was not familiar with simplified Characters, could not understand the class, and after class, he would pay for the senior to tutor.
"I can't compete for the first place in West China, they are too good at reading, ok? I can't be a bully, but at least I don't want to be a scum. Xu Junhao said.
Xu Junhao will also be homesick. He doesn't like spicy food, and he misses the sunshine of Taiwan more than the humid and rainy city of Chengdu. His parents called him the next day and asked him if he was eating well and how he was studying. In Chengdu, he made many friends, many of whom were old Taiwanese and Singaporean businessmen, and he also learned to drink alcohol after he did not stick to alcohol.
Later, Xu Junhao decided to open a clinic in Chengdu, and his Singapore friend told him that CapitaLand was one of the best-selling malls in Jinniu District. Some of these friends became regular guests of his clinic.
In his fifth year, Xu Junhao was 30 years old and began to prepare for a medical license. For a sense of ceremony, he shaved off the star hairstylist's elaborate mid-length hair and replaced all the clothes in the closet with black. Every morning at 7 a.m., he gets up to read and memorize, and goes to bed at 1 p.m., almost isolating himself from the outside world.
Since then, he has walked down the street, and no one recognizes him as Xu Junhao, a "former member of the Kemi Boys".

❹after hot search </h1>
In 2015, Xu Junhao opened his first clinic in Chengdu.
The process of starting a business was half a year earlier than expected. He first worked with a clinic in Chengdu. The clinic provided Xu Junhao with a small consultation room, and most of the medical equipment was purchased by himself. There, Xu Junhao met the first batch of patients in Chengdu, and his popularity became more and more popular, but the cooperative clinic "drove him away" by raising rents and other ways.
Xu Junhao was 36 years old at the time, an entrepreneur in a "panic", and there was no alternative to many decisions, so he had to do it hard. He posts job postings on a small scale in the dental group, in a copy-paste format. He also asked his friends to introduce him to him, and received about twenty resumes. Some applicants asked him, "What can I bring to work here in a year?" Xu Junhao did not know how to answer this question, he did not want to make a promise to the other party empty-handedly.
The renovation took three months, when Xu Junhao was not on the hot search, and the promotional version at the entrance of the clinic had not yet been put out. He personally ran the decoration, "building materials site, selling building materials, Chengdu (all) was seen by me." "Perhaps at that time, the only difference between him and the customers who came and went in the mall was that Xu Junhao was sitting on the freight elevator, and the customer was sitting on the escalator. With both hands, he pushed the cart he had borrowed from the mall, on which were placed the sterilizers and Xiaoice boxes he had purchased for the store.
The front desk of the clinic, Sister Zhao, is in her forties and a native of Sichuan, speaking a soft and sticky "Trump". Black hair with a few handfuls of green inside, the eyelashes received are as thick as fans, when she first came to apply, Xu Junhao in Sister Zhao's impression was just a "male doctor". She didn't think that he had ever been a boy band, only knew that the team building went to KTV to sing, he was an absolute "Mai Ba", "When he sang, we didn't dare to sing." ”
Foreign patients are one of Xu Junhao's main customers
Xu Junhao knows very little about mainland social networks. When netizens followed him through hot search, friends sent him messages, "You are on the hot search!" He thought, what is Weibo? What is hot search?
He also does not need public comments, he cut his hair by relying on the recommendation of friends and his family to find, he said that he "followed the fate", but occasionally there would be "accidents", once, his hair was cut out, the hair on both sides was cut too short. "Friend introduction" is Xu Junhao's high-frequency vocabulary. His employees came through "friend introduction", and the designer of the store was also finalized through "friend introduction".
The dianping interface of his clinic has been unmanaged for a long time, with no group purchases and appointments. After the hot search came out, some netizens uploaded a screenshot of the MV of Kemi Boy on the homepage of the store, and some people left a message, "How many people have watched the hot search to come over?" ”
Like most urban middle-class people, dentist Xu Junhao's life is exquisite and comfortable. He got up at 8 a.m. every morning, took a shower, spent five minutes getting his hair straightened, drank a glass of Ice-free American coffee, and drove to the clinic. After work, Xu Junhao will go to the gym, and he will also party with friends, jump and sing K.
This kind of life makes him satisfied, and he plans to open a new branch in the high-tech zone in November, "three or four stores are enough, it is already busy enough." "He rarely felt depressed, the only time he couldn't touch the rim because of the leg pain," I thought, I'm old. Among the new generation of idols, he is most envious of Wang Jiaer, who also came from the boy band, and he feels that Wang Jiaer has his own musical works, and each capital is what he likes and wants to do, which is what Xu Junhao wanted to do when he was young but did not do it.
Every year, Xu Junhao will participate in the "Taiwanese Rock Music Festival" and perform on the same stage with Taiwanese friends who also live in Chengdu and love rock. His favorite rock singer is Zheng Jun, who also likes the band Flowers. He also likes the dentist played by Jin Dong in "Mr. Love", he feels that Jin Dong is "very dick", and he will unconsciously think: If I go to act, maybe it will be another feeling.
At first, the surge in media calls made Xu Junhao panic and hurriedly contacted his long-time friends Chen Junting and Wang Yajun. After discussion, Wang Yajun opened a Weibo for Xu Junhao, "so that the media will not call the clinic and will not disturb his normal consultation." Mr. Xu said they promised themselves that all their releases would be reviewed by him.
After Xu Junhao became a dentist, Chen Junting and Wang Yajun were his agents. They wore loose black one-piece T-shirts, and Wang Yajun's face was covered in delicate pink makeup. In 2006, Zhang Shaohan's masterpiece "Invisible Wings" was released, Chen Junting was the producer, and Wang Yajun was the songwriter.
"We met in 2003, when we were working at Fumao Records, and Xu Junhao gave Guo Jing's MV the lead actor. He wore black-rimmed glasses, a white T-shirt, and now there was little change. The two recalled.
Their friendship was not alienated because Xu Junhao came to Chengdu to study, every time Wang Yajun brought artists to Chengdu to hold a concert, Xu Junhao would go to the scene to participate, and after the end, take them to eat the old hot pot restaurant "Imperial City Mother". If Xu Junhao receives invitations from various media and programs, Wang Yajun will also help him deal with them. "It's a tacit understanding between friends," she said. ”
Xu Junhao did not show a clear desire for heat. After the hot search, many medical beauty platforms looked for him to cooperate, and some marriage and love, game variety shows also found him, and he declined. The number of customers looking for him to see his teeth has doubled, and Wang Yajun's entertainment friends also want to ask Xu Junhao to see his teeth. He still maintains a seven-day work week, and he will take two or three days a month to receive announcements.

On the day of the shooting, because he had not taken a portrait for many years, Xu Junhao seemed a little overwhelmed. He didn't know where to look, how to put his hands properly, and then the people around him chatted with him, distracting him, and his limbs relaxed a little.
I asked Xu Junhao: "Do you want to return to the entertainment industry?" ”
Xu Junhao said, "Why should I return? I've always been in the entertainment industry. I still want to sing, have good plays and act, and my (dentist's) job can be well matched. ”
"What's the most relaxing thing after being an idol?" I asked.
"It should be, you don't have to care about your weight." He laughed, as if he had forgotten that he hadn't eaten sob in two weeks.
