How long have I been following Han Geng? Questioning myself everytime I start to write a new blog about him.
My first “encounter” with the adorable-shy only Chinese member in a famous Korean boyband was on September 2010 and started to wrote my first blog about him on October.

From many blogs I wrote, I noted special keywords in my writings. Han Geng’s distinctive character. I learned that he’s a simple man with strong and charismatic personality. He’s a man of respect and commitment. Above all else, Han Geng is a humble and sincere superstar, who treated other people including his fans in equal way.

During may obsessive disorder fandom period, I also met new friends who’s also a fan to Han Geng. Most of us admire Han Geng not only because of his breathtaking features or his flawless dancing skill, but more because of his charming and adorable attitude. The other thing that made admiring Han Geng is different from admiring other stars was, I never bored in watching videos or reading articles about him, no matter how old the they’re.

It was an ordinary day. Normal office activity, when I found old print out from one fan account, sharing experience when standing on stage with Han Geng, during Singapore fan meeting, October last year. Re-reading the story, dragged me back to an old video from that event. I remembered watching that video not long after the initial event. But re-watching it after re-reading the fan account story gave different feeling.

I felt an urge to bring all back to my personal blog, share it to more people, because the story confirmed my thought about Han Geng, he is exceptional. Share in 2 parts. This is the first one.

fan account, written with warm-heart by Huiwen Yeo

At around 8:25 PM, we were called out by the ushers to prepare for stage time. We were standing on the right side of the stage, while the host and Han Geng is talking, Han Geng did look over at us, probably wondering what is all the commotion about XD

I remembered about something the host said. She said, ‘Han Geng, you should have received lots of love letters before, am I right?’ This cheeky boy replied, ‘Not really, just 2 to 3 letters a day. Everyone laughed at his reply. You guys should know which song this conversation leads to. Yes, Love Letter to stranger. (Oh my goodness! It’s my favourite song) But, I couldn’t watch it from the audiences seat, kind of sad! But when I was watching the fan videos, goodness, he just looooook sooooooo good!

Two fans got chosen and went up to the stage, there was a lucky draw and they won a chance to interact with Han Geng. One of the fans was really agitated, after she whispered something to Han Geng, she started crying all of a sudden. Han Geng probably panicked and comforted her immediately. However, the fan is still crying, so he cutely said, ‘Don’t cry anymore! Don’t cry!’ He tried to act angry but he doesn’t sound or look angry! Haha! After she calmed down, she read out a poem she wrote herself. As Han Geng was signing on the little panda, he was listening to her poem as well. After she finished reading, he said that it has a really ancient feel.

Then, it’s our turn to go up to the stage, there were 3 Singapore reps, 2 Hong Kong reps and 2 China reps.
Han Geng said that it was like a sports meet and hummed a tune. Dadalada ~~
The host then said, ‘Look at our representatives, carrying big and small bags.’ Firstly, my friend, Huayshan reads out a letter on our behalf. Han Geng is too cute. He stood by her side, held o to the microphone and look at the letter, looking serious ~

She reads out: ‘Dear Han Geng’ Then he replied, ‘Hm’ (Really cute!) She continued with the letter: ‘Since you love to eat so much…’ she stopped and looked at him. I don’t know if he wanted to laugh or to cry XD he had that complicated look on his face. Then he said, ‘oh no, this is not correct, I don’t really love to eat.’
She continued to read the letter and Han Geng actually reads out the words in the brackets.
Huayshan: There are so many nice foods in Singapore, we hope that you would come more often.
Han Geng: Hehe! (Huayshan did not plan for this part to be read out)

Now, it’s Huayshan’s turn to laugh and cry, she put down the letter and felt helpless. But he smiled and stubbornly said that everything in the letter must be read out. He pointed at the letter and said. Huayshan then said that she didn’t want to read this part out. He replied: ‘I will help you then, hehe!’ According to Huayshan, he helped to hold on to the letter again and she thinks that he wanted to read the letter himself.
Then, she talked about his gastric problem and asked him to listen to his doctor. Everyone started laughing, I am sure that everyone know about the story of the doctor and him. There is another line I a bracket and Han Geng read it out voluntarily: ‘Although the doctor is fierce, er, but it’s all for your own good. Haha!’
He said ‘Haha” so cutely that it made all of us laughed. She also named the other countries to mention about the international fans. He thanked her and the host took the microphone away thingking that it’s over. But Han Geng kept his microphone there. (He must have really finished reading it)

Huayshan also mentioned about donating portion of the funds for charity… because Han Geng would love to do charity works. Everyone cheered and Han Geng complimented that she is really obedient and hugged her a little. Huayshan said that she was shocked and panicked a little. The most important part, she told Han Geng to speak louder and clearer in the future because translators are having a hard time listening to him He had this helpless expression again and he didn’t know what to say. But instead, he took a deep breath and said loudly, ‘Alright, NEXT!’

Everyone laughed and Han Geng, you are obedient too. He shook our hand again. The next gift is a pair of black Puma Shoes. He said that it ws pretty. HAHA! The host then said that we are confident about the size and Han Geng thougt that we colluded with the host at the fansign to get his shoes size. To be honest, we bought that pair of shoes on the 26th September so we didn’t ask the host to ask that question. We took so long to buy as well because we couldn’t believe that his feet are that small. We both tried the shoes and were skeptical about the size because we could wear. LOL!

Next gift was the candies. I asked him to open the box himself.
He hobbled backwards a little and said… ‘is it?’ I was like… no, it’s not. It’s foods. And he went… food again?! HAHA! This is my first time seeing him grumbling about food. Heh! When he opened the box, he took out a foam buffer and asked, ‘this is for me to eat?’ I said no immediately and everyone was laughing when he said, ‘oh no. this is a foam bubble’. I took out the bottle for him and his eyes are sharp! He practically snatched the bottle from me when he saw his name on it.

He snatched it lightly XD He asked me a total of 3 times, how did I make them? So I answered, I customized it. Well, it’s a duh~ answer but saying the whole process would take forever. Then the funny part came, I reminded him not to finish the whole jar himself and he laughed out loud and asked why I gave it to him. OMG! I made his classic laughter came out! Well, everyone laughed with us.

And one last present, the cross stitch I did.
When I took it out, everyone cheered *aww~ shy* Han Geng asked how long I took to complete the stitch. I kept hiding from his microphone. I answered him, around 1 month and more. He was stunned seriously and kept saying that it’s impressive. He held on and took a look at it again. Oh goodness, his look of admiration shocked and touched. I felt really accomplished! He asked me how did I do it? I was like, what else can I say? I answered, ‘by hands’ That’s what came into my mind. Han Geng doesn’t know what to rebut and laughed, ‘of course, I knew that you did it by hands’ Everyone laughed so hard. But I really don’t have anything else to say!

Someone shouted, VERY COOL from the audiences and Han Geng replied, ‘WHAT?!’ Han Geng thanked me again and the host said that this would be one of his collections. I hope so too Okay! We all felt really accomplished.

This video captured only the part when the Singaporean fans interact with Han Geng, because Huiwen is one of them 😀

Last week, Huiwen brought back her memory about her encounter with Han Geng and summarized it as “whn i met Geng, i felt calm and was just doing what comes to my mind. So the point is… I CAN THINK WHN I MET HIM. What a feat xD”

In my opinion, Han Geng is not breath-taking. He’s heart-soothing..

I write so I can share what I see through my heart, my personal point of view and my own analysis.

Every time I speak or write about Han Geng, I can’t avoid his past in Korea. Though it was a one very painful and unbelievable experience, but Han Geng never stated a single complain about it. I learned that Han Geng is someone who tried to keep every pains only to himself. Not much people can really understand him. Only those who really close to his heart. Out of the circle, there are group who always with him, since the first day he left China. The group that grew bigger every day. The group called “Gengfans”.

Since my first day of Geng fandom, beside himself, the uniqueness of his fans also caught my heart. The relation between Han Geng and Gengfans is different from other star – fans relation I ever knew. Spazzing to more fan accounts, I found one very touching one posted on tumblr. Left me a very deep impression. After reading the translation from its original lyric sang by Han Geng in below video, I know the song has strong meaning for Han Geng and his fans. As you can see, when the camera took a short shoot on the audience’s side, most of them were crying, because they knew completely how Han Geng felt that time.

I’m sure you’ve all seen this clip before with Han Geng insisting on singing “I’m Willing” to his Gengfans while he was ill. Have you ever read the lyrics? Well, here it is.

Yearning is an extraordinary thing
Accompanies like the shadow
Silently, from deep within the heart
In an instant, swallows me in loneliness
I have no strength to resist, especially at night
Missing you until I can’t breath
If I could only run towards you at once
Declare to you loudly
Willing for you, I’m willing for you
I’m willing for you, to forget my name
If it means for an extra second, I could stay in your arms
Losing the world would be unregrettable
I’m willing for you, I’m willing for you
I’m willing for you
Be banished to the ends of the earth
You only need to be true, answers me with your love
Anything, I’m willing
Anything, I’m willing
For you
Anything, I’m willing
Anything, I’m willing
For you

I know this is from awhile back, but if you ever wonder why there is such a strong bond between Han Geng and his Gengfans, this is just one of the reasons. Han Geng loves his fans deeply.

As for me, I brought this to my personal account and wish to share it to more friends, not to show how difficult Han Geng’s life before he finally decided to take his solo career. I brought this to my personal account, because I am also one of the proud Gengfans who without doubt know very well that Han Geng loves his fans deeply.

How can one love repay the abundant endless supportive love of millions… only sincere love from a humble heart who keep the promise to work hard..

I write so I can share what I see through my heart, my personal point of view and my own analysis.

Recalling my own experience when I first fell in love with one ordinary Chinese guy with remarkable dancing talent and a giggle that melt my heart, I put my little heart in the world of Han Geng. From that moment until the day I wrote this blog, I found many friends who shared the same experience. Most of us didn’t fall for him because of his physical appearance. Most of us fall for him because of his strong heart and how he overcome his troubled years in foreign country.

Throughout my short fandom period, I also questioned by others on the reason I admire Han Geng. I am still compiling my answer, while I found this one remarkable blog post, written by eyeesmile on her tumblr

Below is her simple but very touching words to express her support for the polite and engaging young man, who won support from millions fans because of his extraordinary characteristics.

fan account: post #900 Han Geng

post 900 is for han geng. idk why 900 is such a special number to me, it just is, so i left it for han geng. i’m not very good with words, and there are so many geng fans out there that can express this feeling better. throughout these 5 years, i’ve received too many questions about why i love you, why i chose to love you. it all began on november 4th, 2005, i was flipping through baidu and came across the news of a chinese member in a korean boy group. as everyone knows already, you were the first foreigner to debut in korea.

i was curious, very very curious. what could be the reason for one of the biggest entertainment companies in korea to sign a mere 19 year old chinese boy. no one knew what would happen next for this chinese boy, but i had my suspicions. when they debuted, i found myself being attracted to him, he was the first celebrity i’ve ever felt that way about. one day, that boy disappeared and was replaced by a back up dancer with a mask, my first thought was that he was injured and couldn’t make it. i was disappointed, but i didn’t think too much of it. i forgot what day it was, but geng fans were enraged when we found out that you were the person behind that mask. my whole life, i’ve only known celebrities that try everything to be popular, and especially at the start of their career. when everyone else was getting recognized and had a strong fanbase, you were hiding behind a mask because of the korean laws. it wasn’t fair, it wasn’t fair at all. you seemed happy, so i’m sorry, i assumed you were.

i was there, when chinese geng fans lost that chance to have you endorse something in china in 2006, and i was extremely touched to see you reaching out on your cyworld to them, i saw you comfort and reassure them. super junior show, han geng’s diary made me see a new side of you. you were so happy in china, different from being in korea. you bought fans ice cream, you were like their big brother, not just another celebrity. when the time came to say good bye to your dad for the second time, you cried. from that point, i knew you’d go far, you not only treat your fans with respect and love, you are a filial son and you have a heart of gold. your personality is not easily found in the industry, and i wanted to see how far you can go. i began to fall for you. you were so innocent in full house, yet so fierce in u. you were the king on stage, yet you were so humble deep down. the first time i’ve ever met you was, 2007 hollywood bowl. you were so wonderful, so much more beautiful than in pictures. in 2008, you brought sj-m to china and you treated them with such hospitality. 2008 was the year, all the chinese around the world, were most proud of their homeland. i bet you were too, you were different. you talked more, you knew your stuff here, you were home. those heartfelt “han geng, welcome home”s, we all know how much that meant to you. you’ve wanted to be home, you miss china. you were the group’s big brother, even when you were sick, you couldn’t rest because you were what the group depended on. i saw your efforts, the way you pushed other members to answer questions asked to you. i saw you promote them, i saw you sink into the background, i saw it all happening in front of those cameras. i saw your face when your stomach started hurting, because your stomach has always been a problem.

gengfans know how much effort you had to put in, and what little rewards you received. 2009, you were back in korea and when you came back, you looked tired. tired, that was the only word i had for you. sj-m has endless activities in taiwan and china. you became a flying superman. super junior won album of the year, of course it was a celebration, but right after, was the event that took our breath away. i couldn’t believe it when sarah & sahar invited me to chat and showed me the news. “han geng submitted lawsuit to sm”. omtd! went wild, akp went wild, you suddenly became the headline of the week. most people worried about super junior, they worried about how they might react to this. i worried about you, i worried about how much you must’ve handled to finally make this decision. how much anguish is saved up in that tiny body of yours. i wondered what you were going to do next, because i’m not going to lie, you weren’t the strongest singer. i watched people panic, misunderstand, and even bash you. at that moment i understood one thing, that no matter what, i believe you.

i believe every single word that comes out of your mouth. why? because i felt like i know the guy i’ve followed for 5 years, the guy i’ve cherished and dug up every detail about. i knew you wouldn’t make such a move unless you couldn’t stand it anymore. it was not for money. no matter what rumors there were, han geng hasn’t spoken, i wasn’t gonna believe any of the rumors. you reappeared in may, and oh my god what an amazing surprise that was. we missed you, so so much. i will never forget the day that video of you on sohu chat appeared, “han geng’s alive!” “wow, he looks good!” i still remember. you looked well-rested, very well-rested. i don’t know what you did for 5 months, but i knew my geng was back, and you were back to take the chinese music industry for a storm. july came, your first solo concert, your first solo album. you have achieved more than anyone this year, and with every step, i am proud to say that i’m a geng fan and i have never left your side. 2011’s coming, and i believe in your abilities, the sky is your limit.

han geng, it’s been 5 years, and i want to let you know that my love for you never swayed, never. thank you for coming into my life, you were the first celebrity i have ever loved, and will

I dunno how long I will support Han Geng, but for now all I know is my love for Han Geng is getting deeper and my respect is getting higher. All because he’s someone exceptional.
