In 2009, Zhang Nala became the most unpopular Korean artist for all Chinese audiences because of a sentence on a Korean program that "if you don't have money, go to China to earn money", she apologized five times and failed to get forgiveness from Chinese audiences.
This time, the "circle money door" also made Zhang Nala leave the Chinese market, and now that 12 years have passed, how is Zhang Nala living?
Born in March 1981 in Seoul, South Korea, Zhang Nala's father's real name was Jang Ran-kyo and her stage name was Zhu Husheng, and she was a South Korean drama actress.
Under the influence of her father, Zhang Nala has developed a great interest in acting since she was a child, and from elementary school, she will often make cameos in stage plays performed by her father.
Zhang Nala, who went to high school, was also getting more and more beautiful, and under the recommendation of her father, Zhang Nala began to star in TV commercials.
Jang Na-la, who likes to perform, was admitted to the Drama Department of Seoul University and began a professional acting study.
In May 2001, As a singer, Zhang Nala officially stepped into the Korean entertainment industry and released her debut album "First Story", with which Zhang Nala won the best newcomer of the year.
Zhang Nala, who became a hit in her singing career, began to be a host and actor again.
In 2002, Jang Na-ra became a host of Korean TV shows and starred in two Korean TV dramas.
Among them, "The Love of the Red Bean Girl" has also made Zhang Nala's acting skills win the recognition of the Korean public, and girls all over the country have set off a craze to imitate the Red Bean Girl.
Taking advantage of this heat, Jang Na-la made her first film "Naughty Girl Courtship", with which she was nominated for Best Newcomer and Best Actress in the Korean film industry.
Zhang Nala, who has developed in many fields, has achieved peak achievements in each field, because of her cute appearance and pure temperament, she has also been widely welcomed by Korean audiences and has also received the title of "Little Princess of Korea".
But at that time, the total population of South Korea was only 40 million, and for his father, Zhu Husheng, Zhang Nala was the most successful work of his life, and the Korean market of only 40 million people could not satisfy his father's appetite.
In order to expand the market, his father Zhu Husheng took Zhang Nala to Japan to hold a concert, but Japan at that time did not like Zhang Nala's cute style of girls.
Zhang Nala, who is not liked by the Japanese market, has held three concerts in Succession in Japan without any repercussions, when Zhang Nala's father made a bold decision to bring his daughter Zhang Nala to China to seek development.
In fact, my father wanted to bring Zhang Nala to China for two reasons, one is that South Korea's market potential is limited, and China is a large market of 1.3 billion.
Second, although the Korean entertainment industry at that time was more developed than China, Zhu Husheng, his father, who had been mixing in the Korean entertainment industry for many years, understood that hiding dirt and grime was the essence of the Korean entertainment industry.
Even under the protection of her father, Zhang Nala would be suddenly called to a bar to sing with people, and the booming and clean Chinese market was exactly what he expected.
In 2004, Zhang Nala and her father took a 25-hour boat ride from South Korea to China.
However, Zhang Nala, who had just arrived in China, did not get any good performance resources, and in order to seek further development, Zhang Nala signed a contract with Chinese agent Deng Jianguo in November of the same year.
At that time, Deng Jianguo was a famous "king of hype" in China's entertainment industry, and the scandals between Zhang Yimou and Wang Haizhen, as well as the beating of Zhang Mo, the son of Zhang Guoguo, were inseparable from his promotion.
With his help, Zhang Nala has starred in two major Chinese TV series, the first of which is "Cardamom Years" with Liu Yifei.
Although this drama did not make Zhang Nala a big fire, the beauty of her and Liu Yifei in the play also made her officially enter the vision of Chinese audiences, although Chinese audiences did not remember her name, they could remember her beautiful face.
The second TV series starring Zhang Nala's partner Su Youpeng, "Princess Diao Man", made Zhang Nala's acting career in China successfully reach its peak.
In the play, her tomboy-like princess image has harvested the hearts of countless Chinese audiences.
The phone call to the TV station has not stopped since the tv series was broadcast, because all the actors in the tv series used dubbing, and Chinese audiences still thought that Zhang Nala was a Chinese.
Zhang Nala, who is popular all over China, also released her first Chinese album "One" through the heat.
But unfortunately, foreigners always have some awkwardness in singing Chinese songs, and this album did not splash any splashes in the Chinese music scene, but this did not affect her fame in China.
This year, Zhang Nala also became a propaganda ambassador between China and South Korea, as a publicity ambassador, in order to show the friendship between China and South Korea, she also donated 300,000 yuan to the China Charity Federation.
In addition, she donated 200,000 yuan to poor students in Inner Mongolia, and zhang Nala often appeared at charity events in addition to acting in China.
In 2006, Zhang Nala also participated in the Sino-Korean Star Festival with the theme of "Returning Children's Healthy Tomorrow", and performed on the same stage with Lin Junjie, Na Ying and others.
At that time, she was Chinese favorite Korean artist, and in June she was invited by Jackie Chan to attend Jackie Chan's concert in Nanjing.
In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the whole world extended a helping hand to China, and Zhang Nala, who has been developing in China for four years, is no exception.
She personally donated 274,000 yuan to Wenchuan, then donated children's clothing worth 1 million yuan, and together with Charities in South Korea, donated another 1 million yuan to Wenchuan.
It is precisely because of this time that Zhang Nala became the Olympic torchbearer in the Korean region of the Beijing Olympic Games.
He also sang with 100 singers such as Liu Huan, Na Ying, and Jackie Chan, and the theme song of the Beijing Olympic Games, "Welcome to Beijing".
As the only Korean among them, Zhang Nala has also officially embarked on the peak of China's entertainment industry.
But perhaps people will forget what their surname is when they are most proud, and Zhang Nala, who is standing at the peak, because she said the wrong sentence, ushered in the shelling of all the Chinese audiences to let her get out of China.
In 2009, Zhang Nala returned to South Korea to record a variety show "Strong Heart".
The so-called strong heart means that to say the most shocking thing, whoever says the most shocking can get the title of "strongest heart".
And Zhang Nala did not know whether it was for the effect of the program or the intention, she said: "I have been running back and forth between China and South Korea for so many years, but I still make the most money in China."
My father used all the money he earned to make TV dramas in China to invest in movies, but his father's investment vision was not good, and he did not get any return.
Without money, my father would let himself go to China to pick up advertisements and participate in activities to make money, every time, as long as he had no money, he would let himself go to China. ”
As soon as the program was broadcast, it triggered the anger of all Chinese audiences, saying that since she came to China to circle money, the Chinese audience did not welcome her to let her get out of China quickly, and the media also called Zhang Nala's incident "circle money gate".
In order to save the Chinese market, Zhang Nala and her father immediately came out to hold a press conference to apologize: "My intention was not so, just because there was a problem with the translation of The Korean TV station."
The subtitles translated into China are wrong, they are misinterpreting what they say, and someone wants to blacken themselves.
But in any case, I feel very sorry for hurting the hearts of Chinese audiences, and now I sincerely say sorry to everyone. ”
But Chinese audiences didn't buy Ms. Zhang's apology.
After that, Zhang Nala, because there was no Restriction on Korea in the Chinese market at that time, was not banned by the Chinese market, but her influence was already much worse than before.
In order to make Chinese audiences realize the sincerity of her apology, Zhang Nala apologized 4 times in a row in interviews and programs, plus a total of 5 times in previous press conferences.
He also went on Guo Degang's chat program "Tonight There is a Play" with his father, apologized again in the program and performed the sketch "Learning Chinese" created to save his image with his father.
But "the bad words hurt June Cold", Zhang Nala apologized again and again, and did not make Chinese audiences re-accept her.
In 2011, Zhang Nala filmed another Chinese TV series "Diao Man Pretty Imperial Doctor" to try to turn popular, but her image in the play is still the same as the princess Diao Man," a TV series with too strong purpose, and finally did not receive praise from the audience.
After that, Zhang Nala struggled to participate in programs and interviews in China for a while, but there was still no salvage effect.
In 2014, Zhang Nala officially returned to South Korea for development.
However, at this time, South Korea was the peak of the development of idol career, and her development in South Korea as an actress was not smooth.
In order to make a living, Ms. Janella opened her own coffee shop in South Korea, and in order to attract customers, she printed her own photos at the entrance of the store and personally stood at the door to receive customers.
Every day this stop is day to night, although it is hard, but it also allows her to regain her savings and can continue her life as an actress.
In 2018, Zhang Nala appeared in Jin Shunyu's new drama "The Character of the Queen", which is full of dog blood and reversals, high energy, and is widely praised among Chinese audiences.
As the heroine, Zhang Nala also appeared in the heated discussion of Chinese netizens along with the TV series.
Chinese netizens have said: "10 years later, Zhang Nala seems to be still which baby face has not changed at all, not to mention her character problem, her acting skills and that beautiful, face is still worthy of our remembrance." ”
It seems that nothing has changed for herself for so many years, Zhang Nala said in a South Korean interview show: "I may not have changed much in appearance, but I have changed a lot in my heart."
Especially when I am under the most pressure, I also have panic disorder and binge eating disorder, and I often overeat to relieve emotional pressure, but fortunately, my mentality has become much calmer now, and I will no longer be embarrassed by external evaluations. ”
In June 2020, on the occasion of her 7,000 days of debut, Zhang Nala posted: "Thank you fans, especially Chinese fans, for taking care of you in the past, and now miss you very much."
I will also take my gratitude to you in my heart and give back to you with better works. ”
Although Zhang Nala still remembers the Chinese market, even if Chinese audiences are willing to let her go back to China to shoot, there is almost no possibility of her return.
In addition to the Korean restriction order, the current Chinese entertainment industry is not allowed to use artists who have caused social impact due to scandals and bad deeds.
Perhaps if there is no original disaster from the mouth, Zhang Nala may be like Qiu Porcelain Xuan, can continue to have her own place in the Chinese entertainment industry.
People will always make many mistakes in this life, and some mistakes can be repaired before it is too late, but once some mistakes are committed, there is no chance to change them.
Please remember to grasp the present, do a good job in the future, and don't let regrets stay.
