Uncle Bird was originally a rich second generation from a wealthy family. His grandfather founded a semiconductor company that accounts for two-thirds of South Korea's electronics market, while his father was the chairman of a publicly traded company.
However, Uncle Bird has no interest in inheriting the family business, but is bent on entering the entertainment industry. Although his appearance is unremarkable, his natural self-confidence and personality make him pursue his dreams without hesitation.
After years of hard work, Uncle Bird has gained wide popularity with his unique burlesque style. However, he was condemned for his repeated drug use and negative press about evading military service.
Despite this, he still insists on himself in the entertainment industry and does his own thing.
In 2012, Uncle Bird released the song "Gangnam Style" for the first time. He independently arranged and wrote lyrics and directed the music video independently. In order to make a better music video, Uncle Bird went to the zoo to observe the movements of elephants, monkeys and other animals, and finally decided to imitate the posture of horses and integrate them into his dance.
As soon as this powerful song was released, its exaggerated and funny performance form and rhythmic ** immediately set off a huge craze around the world. People have imitated the movements of riding horses and whipping in **.
In just two months from August to October 2012, Uncle Bird became popular overnight with his divine comedy "Jiangnan Style", which made him quickly earn a lot of money, and his songs earned more than 15 billion yuan. He rose to the ranks of international stars in a very short period of time and became the pride of South Korea, and his every move was able to attract the attention of the world. He has not only appeared on important stages around the world, but has even been able to perform in front of the best countries in various countries.
He also once danced at the birthday party of the 85-year-old King of Thailand, showing his talent and charm to the world, which shows his high popularity Overall, Uncle Bird has reached the pinnacle of success in just two months, which is the crystallization of his talent and charm.
However, the popularity of "Gangnam Style" did not last long. In 2013, Uncle Bird released a new single "Gentleman", and he hopes to continue his popularity.
However, this song has received negative comments from the majority of netizens because of the large number of women and immoral passages, and a series of old scandals have been exposed in South Korea, including many celebrities, evading military service, drug abuse, etc.
The Korean public's disappointment with the former national idol has reached the extreme, and almost all the ** condemned him one-sidedly. Under the pressure of public opinion, South Korean television had to terminate all his programs and impose "house arrest" on him.
Seeing that his career in China could no longer continue to develop, Uncle Bird decided to try to open up a new career in China, but failed to achieve the expected success, and finally could only return to China with a heavy heart in disappointment.
Looking back now, Uncle Bird, who was once popular all over the world, has become a big shame in the Korean entertainment industry. His success was not easy, but he relied on his unremitting persistence and hard work on his dream to have the opportunity to launch "Gangnam Style" that changed his fate.
At that moment, the Koreans were proud of their first Asian pop king. However, just a year later, they have to face the scandal of multiple boats, female insults and moral misconduct of the national icon.
This has made it unacceptable for South Koreans on the international stage, and the cultural soft power that they once prided themselves on is now receiving strange stares from their former admirers. Suddenly, Uncle Bird became a "benchmark figure" among Korean stars - representing a negative type.
Uncle Bird is no longer as beautiful as before, and he has withdrawn from the public eye. However, his destruction of the Hallyu entertainment industry and the image of the Korean nation is not completely**. We don't know if he learned from his past mistakes, but what is certain is that time will not erase the shadow he left on the country and the industry as a whole.
This dark cloud will last for a long, long time, always warning every Korean star to work hard, strictly self-discipline, and put the interests of the country and the nation first.
In the eyes of ordinary people, although Uncle Bird's life trajectory cannot be said to be a shame in South Korea, it is also a mirror that can alert the world. Many people lose themselves after success and fame, unable to resist fame and fortune, and can only become the laughing stock of the world in the end.
Each of us should learn from this experience, always be humble, self-disciplined and rational, and not be blindly arrogant because of temporary achievements, let alone forget our original intention.
Only when we are strong in our hearts and determined can we continue to surpass ourselves in these rapidly changing times. Similarly, Uncle Bird's lesson warns successful people from all walks of life that when you stand at the pinnacle of life, you should never forget to be content and happy, and always care for others; Even if you fail, don't be discouraged, but passionately absorb the essence of your predecessors and build on them.
Therefore, we cannot simply see Uncle Bird as a shame for Korea, but should take a deep look at the value of his life. This ability to reflect on oneself is the key to distinguishing success from failure, and will determine whether our generation will write an immortal chapter on this land.
Although the image of Uncle Bird dancing happily on the TV screen is still clear, in the long course of history, he will only become an insignificant passerby, and the profound revelation contained in his story will be forever engraved on the stone tablet of history for generations to come.
In this world, people lose themselves because of the pursuit of momentary fame and fortune, and some people pay a huge price to realize their dreams, even at the expense of making wrong decisions. This is the true face of the world we live in, full of cruelty and helplessness. In this case, we should not be too harsh on those who are ridiculed for bad decisions in the moment, because everyone has the right to make mistakes.
However, we also cannot ignore the far-reaching effects of these mistakes, especially those that may cause their lives and careers to be seriously affected, for example, Uncle Bird, who used to be one of the most popular singers in Korea, and his songs are popular all over the world, however, due to some of his inappropriate actions and decisions, he ended up being the laughing stock of people In this case, we should examine from a deeper level why he failed and why he was ruined in one fell swoop, and we should learn from his mistakes, Avoid making the same mistakes in our lives.
This requires each of us to be firm in our beliefs, clear about our own position and responsibilities, and humble and tolerant. Only in this way can we avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and taking a different path in life from others.
In the same way, Uncle Bird's lesson also applies to successful people from all walks of life today - when you stand on the pinnacle of life, don't lose yourself; We must always know how to be happy and care for the people; Even if you fall into a low point, don't be discouraged, but learn your lesson and start again.
The teachings left to us by Uncle Bird are a kind of historical reference, which should be deeply engraved on the stone tablet of the times, and always remind the later generations not to lose themselves, not to forget the original intention and cultural traditions, and to always maintain an innocent mentality, which is the true value of life.
This is the most profound message that Uncle Bird's story gives us across time and space.
Uncle Bird's life has experienced ups and downs, and the ending is embarrassing. We can't jump to conclusions, because his performances in his glory days were equally fascinating. However, the tragic situation of him finally falling to the bottom also warns us: on the road to success, don't lose yourself because of temporary good luck, don't lose yourself because of fame and fortune, forget your original intention, and don't hurt others by unscrupulous means to achieve your goals.
These are the root causes of his failures, and they are also the lessons we need to learn.
Uncle Bird's life is like a gorgeous firework, and it will be calm after being brilliant and bright. We don't have to blame him for his failures, but we should think about how to avoid the same outcome.
This requires us to have a firm self, a clear positioning, humility, self-discipline and rationality. Only in this way can we stand tall and heroic in this rapidly changing era.
Uncle Bird has left us valuable lessons and last words, which will be the driving force for us to find our direction and move towards a better future.
