He started acting at the age of 9.
What kind of life will such a child have in the future?
It is said that Korean child stars have good acting skills, but this has also caused the "inner volume" of child stars to be extremely serious.
As an old predecessor among child stars, the actor named Yang Donggen may have given others some inspiration with his life path so far.
Yang Donggen's name is also transliterated as Liang Donggen by Chinese, and when people refer to hip-hop singer YDG, they refer to him.
Born on June 1, 1979 in Seoul, South Korea, Yang Dong-geun graduated from Yongin University in the Department of Drama and Filming.
There is also a theory that he dropped out of school without completing his university studies.
Yang Donggen is a child star who entered the show business circle since childhood, and in 1987 he participated in a special production series of KBS year-end and officially entered the show business as an actor.
In the early days of filming, due to his young age, Yang Donggen was not valued, and he encountered cold receptions and bullying incidents, all of which made his personality more and more introverted.
But at the professional level, at that time, some people have already used the term "superb" to describe his acting skills, which has made him a high popularity comparable to this kind of praise.
In 1991, Yang Donggen won the Child Star Award at the KBS Acting Awards and the Baeksang Art Awards for his KBS "Brother".
As an adult, he continued to work hard to make a movie when he debuted as a child star.
In the 2000 MBC sitcom "Boys and Girls Go Forward", he successfully created a scruffy college student who could not be loved or hated, who looked heartless but heavy, and this drama gave him the positioning of a comedy image of "licorice character" in the hearts of the audience, and his popularity was therefore accumulating higher and higher.
In 2002, he won the Best Newcomer Actor Award in the TELEVISION category at the MBC Acting Awards for his MBC love drama "Appointment Love".
It is a pity that this "Appointment love" is difficult for everyone to see now, and this drama is the work of MBC as a hundred flowers in the kingdom of TV dramas.
Alternative, youthful, touching.
It is worth mentioning that the heroine of this drama is Yuanbin's daughter-in-law Li Naying, and the second daughter and the second male are Kong Xiaozhen and Li Dongjian respectively.
Fans have also spontaneously celebrated the tenth anniversary of the broadcast of "Reserved Love".
Starting from "Booking Love", Yang Donggen's role has become more and more off the mainstream.
The quality of the works is full of sincerity, and the powder absorption is not good.
As a versatile person who has been on the set for a long time, his attention is no longer just on filming.
Yang Donggen is also an excellent singer.
In 2001, Yang Donggen entered the singer's "camp" with his first album, released several albums in a decade, and created his own hip-hop label after the release of his third album "Mirror" in 2004.
Yang Donggen is already a famous "old cannon" in the korean hip-hop industry, and his image and singing voice are very unique, and his praise is only "unparalleled".
In 2014, he participated as a producer in Mnet's hipop talent show Show Me The Money3, hoping to discover new blood for the hip-hop community.
In recent years, Yang Donggen has participated in a number of variety shows, some of which are related to music, such as "The Masked Singer" in 2017, and "Sugar Man 2" in 2018, and so on.
He is said to have recently participated in a new music challenge show, and the first successful promotion was in May, when he defeated a "little prodigy" with a song by Luo Xunya, and was looking forward to hearing more good news about him on this stage.
Another advantage of being a child star is that the audience will treat him like their own baby.
The marriage of male star stars will not affect their own stardom, and the audience will die if they do not marry.
Yang Donggen now has a very happy family, husband and wife love, with three children, two men and one woman, and the daughter is the second treasure.
His wife, Park Jialan, is not a showbiz person, and the two met when they were college students.
Yang Dong-geun first saw Park Jialan in 2009, when he was filming a music video.
They were married in 2013, but the wedding didn't take place until 2014 because the wife said she didn't want to be pregnant.
According to his wife, the two people almost broke up after marriage, and even she formally proposed this matter to Yang Donggen.
The reason is that Yang Donggen was not very good at being a husband, and he had little comfort for his wife, so that his wife could not experience the happiness of being accompanied.
Later, Yang Donggen made corrections very carefully and worked hard to "move closer" to his wife.
For example, the reason why he has worked hard to participate in variety shows in recent years is that "his wife likes it".
For the feeling of participating in the variety show, he said that at the beginning he was still a little afraid of the expression of the scene, but then he slowly overcame it, and even became a role that dared to challenge, and he was no longer a particularly stuffy person.
Yang Donggen's reflection on the role of father stemmed from the suffocation accident that almost took his daughter's life on April Fool's Day in 2007.
After a deep reflection on himself in this serious accident, his sense of responsibility as a father officially launched the "burst table" mode.
The most rare thing in life is not to be willing to persist, but to be willing to reflect.
He will now do more work for his wife and children, but also for them not to take over the work.
He once said that before deciding to play a new role, he would think about his family and think about how they felt when they saw it.
He mentioned that once he played a negative role and beat someone, after this scene was seen by his daughter, the daughter was confused about her father's beating, which reminded him that he must pay attention to the child's ideas when he takes on the role in the future.
He even raised his requirements for the lyrics he wrote, because his son would learn to sing his songs.
Speaking about the future of his children, Yang Donggen said that the eldest son often sings along with his singing voice, while the second daughter seems to prefer to dance.
He is also very curious about the future of his children, but if his children want to enter the same industry as himself, as an industry insider, he will be happy to be a consultant for them, and be a good predecessor, help them progress faster, can successfully establish a harmonious relationship between the industry and the future generations based on the parent-child relationship, and can communicate with the children on the same career, which makes him feel very much looking forward to it.
I wish Yang Donggen's life to continue like this plain and happy.
I also look forward to Yang Donggen's dream of becoming the predecessor of his children's career.
