Han Geng Feels Pressure in Working Alone
Han Geng,a former member of Super Junior,expressed his confidence in winning the lawsuit between him and his South Korean agency since he decided to cancel their contract. As he has not found a new boss,he can only depend on his friends for help in his career.
According to Han Geng's lawyer,similar lawsuits had occurred in South Korean entertainment circle before. They were settled within three months at most. But since Han Geng demanded to terminate his contract last December,six months has passed without any conclusion. The lawyer pointed out directly that it was SM that tried to postpone the result of the lawsuit deliberately. Nevertheless,Han Geng's artistic career has not been affected greatly. His lawyer stressed that it was lawful for him to release albums and to hold concerts.
It is said that the term of the contract between Han Geng and SM is 13 years,which refers only to the working time. If he fails to work due to health or training,the contract will be extended. And if he transfers to another company,he will have to pay three times the amount of cost for training sponsored by SM and twice the amount of resultant loss. It is rumored that,to cancel his contract,Han Geng will have to pay about 2 billion South Korean dollars,or 11.47 million RMB. In order to pay out this debt,recently he has taken part in activities frequently and has demanded a high reward sometimes. But Han himself has reiterated that he has not heard of such a penalty for breach of contracts and said only that he should not pay any indemnity.
Han admits that he feels pressure when thinking of having to work alone in the future. As a good dancer,he says smilingly that he has been practising his singing skills this year,hoping to present himself before the public in a better way in the future.
韩庚正式单飞有压力
自从和韩国经纪公司闹解约后,前Super Junior成员韩庚表示坚信会赢得官司。由于目前还没有新东家,他的演艺发展全靠朋友帮忙。
韩庚的律师介绍说,此前韩国娱乐圈也有同类型的解约官司,解决时间至多是三个月,可是从去年12月韩庚提出解约后,半年来官司迟迟未有结果。律师直指是SM有意阻挠官司的宣判。不过,韩庚的演艺生涯没有受到明显的影响,律师强调韩庚以个人身份发行专辑、举办演唱会,都是合法的。
有消息称,韩庚与SM公司签订的合约长达13年,而且是纯粹的工作时间,如果因身体健康或是进修不能工作,合约会延长期效。如跳槽其他公司,则要赔偿SM公司培训所花费用的3倍以及相应损失的2倍费用。外传韩庚如果解约,将要付出约20亿韩元,折合人民币1147万元的巨额“赎身费”。为此,他最近频频参加活动,甚至“漫天要价”,为的就是还债。对此,韩庚强调没听说解约金一事,只说道:“应该不会赔钱。”
想到以后都要单打独斗,韩庚承认倍感压力。以舞功见长的他还笑言,今年以来一直在积极练习唱功,希望今后能表现更好。

Selina's Boyfriend Showed
his Affections in a Concert
For stars,romance is not always an easy thing. According to Taiwan media,Zhang Chengzhong,Selina's boyfriend and a lawyer,declared his love for her at the end of a concert held by S.H.E,thus making public their relationship which had lasted for almost three years. Selina was moved to tears on the stage. At the celebration dinner,she said excitedly,“It is nine years since I became a singer,but I have never been so excited. I hope that I can become used to such a change in my life.” It is said that her father has also been putting pressure on her,saying “You are almost 29 years old. It's time for you to get married.”
In 2007,Selina got to know Zhang Chengzhong through her mother's introduction. Zhang's mother is also a teacher and a colleague of Selina's mother. Three years ago,Selina and Zhang appeared in a party together,making public their three-month-long secret romance. When journalists asked him for confirmation,he replied nervously,“You must be mistaken. There is not such a thing!”As a person who likes to keep a low profile,Zhang once discontinued his relationship with Selina. This story became the subject of the song entitled Become Quiet in her last album.
Selina's father urges his daughter to get married,while her mother hopes that she can continue her music career. About this,her father says,“These two things are not in conflict. Instead,they can co-exist.”Selina's boyfriend is also worried about the influence of the revelation of their relationship upon her career. In his announcement,he emphasized that “I hope S.H.E. will not change because of me.”The positive response of the fans showed that they loved both her and her boyfriend,and that there was indeed no conflict. Interestingly,the sudden announcement aroused the enthusiasm of the fans,and the organizer was fined 100,000 Taiwan dollars for the overtime of the concert.
Selina男友在演唱会真情告白
明星谈恋爱,有时也是一件不容易的事。
据台湾媒体报道,Selina的律师男友张承中在S・H・E演唱会尾声上演“爱的告白”,让两人近3年的恋情正式公开!她在舞台上被感动得哭花脸,在庆功宴上激动地说:“入行快9年了,从没这样过,希望我可以适应生活中出现的这一变化。”据说她的爸爸也一直在催:“快29岁了,该嫁了!”
2007年,Selina通过妈妈介绍认识了张承中。张承中的妈妈是老师,也是Selina妈妈的同事。3年前张承中跟Selina一起出席派对,让3个月秘恋曝光。当时记者向他求证,他还紧张地说:“搞错了,没有这件事!”低调的他受不了压力,两人曾经分手。Selina上张专辑创作的歌曲《安静了》,写的就是这段分手的故事。
爸爸催Selina嫁,但妈妈却希望女儿再唱下去。Selina爸说:“不冲突,两者可以并行。”男友似乎也担心公开恋情会影响Selina的事业,告白中还强调“希望S・H・E不会因为我有什么改变”。以粉丝的积极反应来看,爱偶像也爱她的另一半,的确不冲突。有意思的是,因突如其来的告白让歌迷热情沸腾,结果演唱会超时被罚10万元台币。
