This Chinese Valentine's Day, actress Big S is really miserable. Someone listed 3 reasons:

1. Her husband Gu Junye returned to Seoul, South Korea for vacation. He did not accompany her, but went to exhibitions and parties with friends, having a great time;

2. Her two children were picked up by her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei, who also took them on vacation in Macau with her stepmother Ma Xiaomei, and they were very happy;

3. Zhang Lan, the ex-mother-in-law, suddenly launched an attack online, revealing that she had gone off track in 2017, and even mentioned that "there is evidence"...

But is she really that miserable?

Not entirely true. It is reported that Big S has begun looking for opportunities to make a comeback in South Korea.

Next, she will participate in the Korean variety show "The World of Celebrity Couples" with her husband to show their love in public.

However, some people think that both of them are out-of-date stars, and the local pay is low, so they can't earn much at all.

Indeed, although Gu Junye was the first generation of "top star in Korean entertainment", he quickly fell into the trough at the peak of his career and his glory is no longer there.

Is it because he is too loyal, or is it because he lacks the ability?

1. The birth of “South Korea’s No. 1 Dancer”

Gu Junye, who is 7 years older than Big S, was born into a wealthy family in Seoul, South Korea, but his father cheated on him when he was a child, leading to the breakdown of his marriage.

After that, he lived with his mother for many years and seemed to have developed the attributes of a "giant baby".

When he was in high school, Gu Junye showed extraordinary musical talent and immediately formed a band with his classmate Jiang Yuanlai.

The two also became famous dancers in the school because of their superb dancing skills.

A few years later, they were successfully admitted to the Department of Visual Design at Kyungnam University, and by chance they won the championship of a nightclub disco competition.

As a result, the two were spotted by the well-known entertainment producer Lee Soo-man, who immediately extended an olive branch to them, and they joined the "WAWA" group as backup dancers.

That was in 1989. Big S was only 13 years old at the time, but she also showed her ambition to become an artist.

Soon after, she was admitted to Huagang Arts School, the alma mater of many stars, to prepare for her future career.

At that time, Wang Xiaofei, who was living in Beijing, China, was only 9 years old. He also came from a broken family. His mother went to France to change her fate, so he became a left-behind child and spent an unhappy childhood.

Several people living in different places could never have imagined that their destinies would be intertwined decades later.

Back to Gu Junye, his and Kang Wonrae's development in the "WAWA" group was soon hindered, and they were replaced by second-term members Lee Hyun-do and Kim Sung-jae in 1991.

In addition, the two had to comply with local regulations and perform military service, so they suspended all their performing activities.

Until 1993, he returned and formed a male duo named "Zhuo2Jun2" with singer Li Zhuo. At the same time, he took on some work as a backup dancer for singers, and gradually gained a sense of presence in the circle.

At this time, Big S also made her debut with her younger sister Little S.

Their acting career did not start off smoothly. They initially debuted as a member of the girl group "Dobi Dowa" and became famous with a song called "Ten Minutes of Love".

However, due to contract issues with their agency, they once faced the risk of withdrawing from the entertainment industry.

Fortunately, they met their "godfather" Yang Dengkui, and the two sisters were able to join a variety show led by "TV genius producer" Wang Weizhong, and began to turn their lives around.

Also in 1993, Big S and her sister re-debuted as a new group "SOS" - their stage names Big S and Little S also got their name from this.

In the following years, they became permanent hosts of the popular variety shows "Guess Guess Guess" and "Entertainment 100%", standing out with their unique dual hosting format and lively and explosive style.

They are open-minded, talkative, and even dare to show their true joys and sorrows in front of the camera. This frankness and authenticity have won the love of the audience.

It was also because of this variety show that Big S got the opportunity to meet the "superstar" Gu Junye.

When talking about the man’s fame, we have to mention his good friend Jiang Yuanlai.

The two got together again in 1996, and with the support of musician Kim Chang-hwan, they formed the "Cool Dragon Band", which took Asia by storm overnight.

2. Give up love for career?

They made their second debut with their first album "Gong Dali Shabala". The songs were full of rhythm, and the two people's tacit understanding and free-flowing gorgeous dance were also particularly wonderful - the "Cool Dragon Group" became famous.

But the two were smart. The year after they became famous, they did not continue with their previous style. Instead, they boldly changed their routine in their new album "ON MORE TIME".

They added modern dance beats and hip-hop lyrical flavors to the rap that they were originally good at, and as expected, they received rave reviews again.

This album even achieved an astonishing sales record of 1.5 million copies in one week. At that time, they won numerous awards and had a bright future.

It happened that the "Korean Wave" was sweeping across Asia at the time, and the Cool Dragon band also took advantage of this trend to become popular abroad, including in China.

Because of his cool appearance and dancing style, Gu Junye is more famous in the group and is also known as the "No. 1 Dance King of South Korea".

The works of the two have also attracted special attention and have even been covered by many Chinese singers, such as Xu Huaiyu's "Miao Miao Miao" and "Rush Forward", Alex To's "Save You", Elva Hsiao's "Circle", Grasshopper's "BABABA", Sun Yue's "Happy Guide", and so on.

Not only that, even the "Phoenix Legend" that later became popular all over the country once imitated them, and the name of the first generation group was "Cool Fire".

Zeng Yi also imitated Gu Junye by shaving his head and wearing big sunglasses...

Compared with domestic entertainment, "Cool Dragon" is more famous in Taiwan. Many years later, some netizens recalled:

"BingBingBing was constantly broadcast in the streets and alleys. When I was in junior high school, the cheerleading team, team performances, and dance competitions all used Coolon's songs."

In 1998, when his career was at its peak, Gu Junye came to Taiwan, China with the group to hold a concert. Naturally, he appeared on the most popular talk show "Entertainment 100%" for promotion, and thus met the 22-year-old Big S.

The woman had a sweet first love before. It is said that the man was Chen Jianzhou. The two met at Huagang Arts School and then broke up after being together for about a year.

When faced with the cool Gu Junye, she was struck by Cupid and fell in love at first sight.

It can be seen from the show that Big S is indeed unusually shy and awkward, which is completely different from her previous open and playful state.

Rumor has it that it was her initiative to be with Gu Junye.

Moreover, Big S once tattooed the man's name on her ankle, which shows how deeply she loves him.

Gu Junye also worked hard to learn Chinese for his girlfriend, but compared to the girl, his efforts were not worth mentioning.

Because no matter where he held a concert at that time, Big S would try her best to support him, and even took advantage of her position to often invite Gu Junye to participate in the programs she hosted to boost his popularity.

However, in the year since the two established their relationship, the man was always under pressure from his agency and was unwilling to admit the relationship.

As the saying goes, "Fame brings trouble." Their relationship was exposed by the media after they had been secretly together for a year.

After the incident fermented, Gu Junye decisively denied his relationship with Big S and even refused to appear on "Entertainment 100%" again.

Being as proud as Big S was, of course, disheartened by this, so she cut the Gordian knot and rationally ended the relationship.

Moreover, when she was asked about this by the media, she burst into tears on the spot. Xiao S came out and angrily said: From now on, we can't even be friends (with Gu Junye).

The man did not say much about this, because perhaps in his opinion, there are endless possibilities for his future.

3. Give up your career for loyalty?

But man proposes, God disposes.

In 2000, the same year he broke up with Big S, his teammate Jiang Yuanlai was involved in a serious car accident while riding a bicycle.

Although he was rushed to the hospital immediately, he still underwent amputation surgery to save his life.

This meant that Kang Won-rae would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, while the Cool Dragon group was at its peak of success.

Faced with this dire situation, the agency had no choice but to ask Gu Junye to go solo, but he refused, the reason being:

"We are a team. I will not fly alone. Now my most important thing is to help him recover as soon as possible."

In 2001, Gu Junye had almost no job, but stayed with Kang Won-rae the whole time. In order to take care of him conveniently, he even rented a house near the hospital.

However, this year, Big S reached the peak of her acting career with great fanfare - the idol drama "Meteor Garden" starring her was a huge hit, and she also fell in love with the actor Lan Zhenglong who made a guest appearance in the drama.

It is reported that she was the one who took the initiative at that time, because the man looked like Takeshi Kaneshiro and was her "ideal type".

In the following decade, Big S became the "topic queen" whose popularity kept rising. She also dated the "flower boy" Zhou Yimin and married Wang Xiaofei, one of the "Four Young Masters of Beijing"...

It can be said that life is very glorious.

And what about Gu Junye?

Because of the accident involving his teammate Jiang Yuanlai, his career once fell into a trough. It only took a few years for him to go from a "top star" to an "invisible person".

Although the "Cool Dragon" band did not give up when they were in the hospital and even created an album "Bald Code" based on the stories during their illness, the response was not as good as before.

It is said that during this period, Gu Junye had no income. During the most difficult times, he went to Dongdaemun to sell clothes. The small shop was only 2 or 3 square meters and was extremely shabby.

Fortunately, in 2002, he received invitations to act in some Korean dramas, and his clothing business gradually picked up. The following year, he established his own clothing brand "AllenA".

In 2005, the two made a comeback under the arrangement of their agency and launched the "Wheelchair Dance", thus returning to the stage.

But again, "Cool Dragon" can never go back to the way it was before.

Gu Junye's later performing jobs were mostly as a DJ in nightclubs, and he was even dubbed the "club king".

But nightclubs are full of good and bad people, and in 2009, he attracted attention again for being involved in a drug-related case.

In addition, Gu Junye's colorful and scandalous life has also brought him a lot of popularity.

——Although he is now married to Big S, he once sold the image of a loving person. In interviews, he said more than once that his last relationship was 20 years ago.

But in fact, Gu Junye admitted that he had been in a relationship as early as 2008.

Going back to 2003, he and his junior sister Choi Yeon were also involved in a scandal because of their ambiguous behavior on a TV show.

Moreover, since Chae Yeon's debut, he has not only helped her with the arrangement of her dances and MVs, but he has even directed her MVs. It can be said that he has helped her 360 degrees, which shows that their relationship is indeed special.

The two were often photographed going to restaurants and clubs together, behaving extremely intimately.

Chae Yeon also came out to clarify this, saying, "Junye has a habit of touching my buttocks or thighs while talking."

In addition to her, actress Yoon Ji-min, who debuted as a model, also attracted attention from the outside world because of her CP with Gu Jun-ye on the show.

In 2009, Gu Junye's rumored girlfriend changed to Yang Zhenya, whom he met on a blind date variety show.

After that, he also had affairs with actresses such as Choi Ya-lan and Oh Ji-hye...

In a word, there has never been an end to all kinds of romantic stories.

But in his career, Gu Junye really didn't make any progress until 20 years later, when he suddenly had a "flash marriage" with his ex-girlfriend Big S. It was unexpected, but also reasonable.

——After all, Big S never follows the beaten path, and Gu Junye is also a man with a heart as unpredictable as the sea. The two are simply a match made in heaven.

But no matter what, his career has finally started to make a comeback after he got married: he has been recording variety shows non-stop, appearing in more commercials, and now he is going to record a popular Korean dating variety show with his wife.

Although the money is not much, traffic is money.

How much commercial value can Big S bring, considering she has lost all her popularity in the divorce lawsuit?

Let's wait and see.
