When you mention Yang Kun, what associations do you have?
Is he a judge of The Voice of China for many seasons, or is it the "32 concerts" that are often mentioned as a mantra in the show?
His unique deep and charming voice, or his masterpiece "It Doesn't Matter", which swept the country?
Have you noticed that all these labels have been a few years ago, so what is Yang Kun busy with now?
Yang Kun's recent high-profile incident is the public disparagement of Andy Lau in the live broadcast room in 2020.
He said in the live broadcast that Andy Lau cannot be called a singer in the true sense.
This sentence actually sounds very interesting, because Andy Lau shines on the stage and has won many high-quality awards with his strength, while Yang Kun has nothing to do.
Yang Kun definitely didn't prepare the script in advance, because for him, it was not good for him to get along with a senior like "Touching Porcelain". So obviously, these are the real thoughts in his heart, but a little too arrogant.
Yang Kun's contemptuous attitude towards Andy Lau has aroused the anger of many netizens and fans, and they have left messages on the Internet to attack Yang Kun for "not being able to do anything", which is reasonable.
Yang Kun even participated in the commercial performance, and the host asked the audience to call his name in order to warm up the scene, but the reaction from the audience was "Andy Lau" that kept coming, and Yang Kun's face gradually became heavy with the shouts.
When you were swiping Douyin, did you notice Yang Kun's account?
He looks a little bloated in **, and still retains his unique beard style, using an old-fashioned angle to tell some boring chicken soup for the soul in a didactic tone.
Those netizens who hold a grudge have not forgotten him, and until now they keep mentioning "Andy Lau" in his comment area.
Almost all the mentors of "The Voice of China" are now veterans in the Chinese music scene.
Many students of "The Voice" have now become the main representatives of the Chinese music scene, often appearing in various ** variety shows, but Yang Kun almost no longer appears in public.
So, what kind of person is this former music superstar, and what did he do to cause such a change in his life?
One of Yang Kun's main problems is that he speaks too directly, and at the same time he is very conceited.
In this chaotic entertainment industry, he has become the target of public criticism, whether it is a superstar or a grassroots star, whether it is a mainstream stage or an entertainment platform, he may become the target of his "attack".
Yang Kun participated in an awards party in 2003, although he only needed to get off work smoothly step by step, but he just had to do some tricks.
In an interview with reporters, he criticized the unfairness of the casting of the Spring Festival Gala and pointed out that the director was too personal in choosing people and programs.
As a well-known person, he was so excited at this time that he forgot his identity, and turned into a "crowd of onlookers" on the spot, expressing to reporters that he believed that his song was very likely to be selected for the Spring Festival Gala.
When the reporter at the time was overjoyed to receive such a first-class news, they rushed to report it.
Yang Kun became the focus of major ** for a while.
As soon as Yang Kun caused a sensation, he quietly came out to apologize, admitting that he shouldn't have said what he said at the beginning.
Even after experiencing the lessons of this incident, Yang Kun still couldn't change his nature.
In 2004, Yang Kun, who had not yet become famous, was asked in an interview with reporters about his evaluation of Daolang, who was also a newcomer at the time, and his answer caused a sensation again.
Faced with this situation, most people will think carefully and answer carefully, trying to avoid offending others. However, Yang Kun didn't care and made sharp comments bluntly.
He expressed doubts about Daolang's **: "Is that what he calls **?"”
He had no intention of hiding his malice towards Daolang.
Yang Kun has always been outspoken in his evaluation of **, but this kind of straightforwardness often inadvertently inadvertently incurs abuse.
In 2022, a shouting microphone song called "Thunder" once again set off a craze on the Internet, and the shocking melody and lyrics of this song were all the rage, and it was jokingly called "Renaissance" by netizens. No matter where you go, you can hear the magic of this song.
It was during this time that Yang Kun happened to start a live broadcast, so some netizens asked him to comment on the song. When Yang Kun was still a newcomer, he dared to "bombard" Daolang to reporters, so in this kind of "small scene", Yang Kun was naturally not afraid.
He unceremoniously commented on the song bluntly in front of a huge live audience: "It's ugly, mediocre, and you can't even call it **."
At the time, this caused a huge controversy, and it didn't take long for even the original author of the song, MC Liudao, to respond and start a war of words with Yang Kun.
Of course, in the end, this matter did not distinguish the winner or loser, and it could only be regarded as an unhappy breakup. As a singer with a good status in the Chinese music scene, Yang Kun was publicly abused by a small Internet celebrity on the Internet, which really damaged his face.
As a public figure living under the camera, in addition to getting certain benefits, you also have to endure some pressures that ordinary people can't bear. Therefore, in front of the camera, they need to control not showing the negative and negative sides.
Yang Kun's personality is not very suitable for surviving in the entertainment industry, in other words.
Yang Kun was a literary soldier in Inner Mongolia in his early years, and his relationship with his parents was not close, on the contrary, due to his father's frequent beatings and scolding, their relationship was sometimes tense to the point of saber rattling.
In order to escape from the family that suffocated him, and at the same time to pursue his dream of singing, he later left.
Regardless of everyone's opposition, Yang Kun went to Beijing alone, and after starting to sing in residence, he embarked on his road of pursuing his dreams.
Young Yang Kun was penniless, had no background to back it up, and sometimes couldn't even afford where to live. He only has a lonely heart to support him to fight here. At this critical moment, Yang Kun met Bai Xue.
Bai Xue and Yang Kun are fellow countrymen, they met late and chatted very happily, and as a result, they quickly confirmed their relationship with each other.
When she learned that Yang Kun was living in poverty and even homeless, Bai Xue did not dislike him, but generously invited him to live in her home, and from time to time subsidized his living expenses and supported him to chase his dream.
It was at this time that Yang Kun created the well-known song "It Doesn't Matter".
Even deep love can't withstand the repeated blows of the cruel reality, and the financial embarrassment and Yang Kun's depressed state after his illness are pushing Bai Xue to a more distant place.
In the end, Bai Xue couldn't stand getting along with Yang Kun anymore, so she decided to break up. Before leaving, she also left her gold necklace to Yang Kun, which can be regarded as her dedication.
However, Yang Kun sold the necklace for 800 yuan, and for him, the most important thing is to have money to make ends meet.
When Yang Kun mentioned Bai Xue in the program "The Voice of China", he described her as his ex-girlfriend who "ran away", not only revealing his resentment towards Bai Xue in his words, but also showing a chaotic state.
I don't know if Bai Xue will feel unworthy for herself back then, hearing these remarks.
This ex-girlfriend was not consumed by Yang Kun only once.
Yang Kun participated in the ** variety show "Shining Band" in 2022, and recalled the late Bai Xue in the show.
He said on the show that his song "The End of Love" is to express his deep affection for Bai Xue, and the song is full of emotion and moving.
He just worked hard to play an affectionate role on the stage, but unexpectedly it was revealed that he was having a lot of fun with beautiful women outside, which made his emotional performance also begin to be criticized by netizens, thinking that it was fake.
Chen Lin helped Yang Kun gain a foothold in Beijing, just as Bai Xue helped him survive in Beijing.
In 1997, it was when Yang Kun created the song "It Doesn't Matter". Although the song was not taken seriously by several record companies, he took the initiative to promote it many times but failed. Just when he was already feeling depressed, Chen Lin suddenly appeared in his life.
At that time, as a singer, Chen Lin was also a high-profile figure, and after listening to Yang Kun's songs, she was deeply impressed by his talent, so she began to fully support this talented young man.
Yang Kun's ** road has become significantly smoother, thanks to having such a well-known singer paving the way for him.
Yang Kun became popular in 2002 with "It Doesn't Matter" and won many ** awards, and the singer who had been dormant for many years finally achieved great success.
At that time, there was a subtle change in the relationship between him and Chen Lin.
obviously has a huge help for his career development, but when the reporter asked, he just said that the relationship between the two was average. Even after Chen Lin suffered from severe depression and finally jumped to his death, Yang Kun did not give any help to his former benefactor.
After Chen Lin's death, Yang Kun mentioned her many times, and even cried several times when talking about emotional things, which is very interesting.
His attitude towards Bai Xue is reminiscent of that netizens did not sympathize with him, but accused him of hypocrisy.
If Yang Kun is flawless in his career, then the audience may ignore these small shortcomings in his interpersonal communication, because throughout the ages, it is inconvenient for us to judge the private lives of countless writers and artists.
Can Yang Kun really do it?However, the answer is no.
Yang Kun faced plagiarism charges in 2003, and it was revealed that his song "That Day"**
Actually, Yang Kun is not completely plagiarized, the song was co-written by him with a lesser-known girl - Li Qi, but later saw Yang Kun's assertive attitude when he handled the song alone, as if the song belonged only to him.
This song has been sung by Geng Ning and Yang Kun, but no matter whose version it is, there is always only Yang Kun's name in the lyricist column.
Li Qi also reacted, but when the matter became serious, Yang Kun immediately chose to hide behind the company, claiming that it had nothing to do with the matter, and began to hide in the whole turmoil.
Theoretically, Yang Kun should have learned a lesson in this incident, but in 2016, his song "The River of Never Ending" was again accused of plagiarism, and surprisingly, this time it was even involved abroad.
The original agent of "Heroes" even paid attention to this matter, and when he listened to the two songs, he said that the intro part was plagiarized too much.
However, although this incident caused a great sensation, Yang Kun claimed that he did not know about the arrangement problem, and once again let himself get out cleanly.
Maybe it's understandable that it's a coincidence, but if it happens many times, it will make people suspect that this is just an excuse made up by Yang Kun.
If Yang Kun knew that he would be in the current situation, would he still be as sharp as he was at the beginning?
The way out of oneself can only be said that the present day is not an excellent time to cultivate one's mind and precipitate oneself.
I hope he can clearly understand what he should and shouldn't do as a singer, and look forward to enjoying Yang Kun's outstanding works again in the near future. Yang Kun
