Indeed, such a Kim Jong Kook can definitely be called a legend, a well-deserved legend.

In fact, Kim Jong Kook's artist career is like a legend, or with Kim Jong Kook's persistence and efforts, it has gradually become a legend.

Turbo debuted as the lead singer, which immediately set off the late 1990s and officially launched the glory of the first generation of the group.

This is true. After all, as a team group, turbo is quite successful and is a well-deserved member of the top ten first generation. And by time, turbo, which debuted in 1995, is obviously earlier than Hot, who debuted in 1996 and Crystal Boy, who debuted in 1997. He is also the first to bear the crazy counterattack of the solo singer, and bear the huge pressure and burden that the team group must face and bear if they want to rise.

The reason is very simple. Now it is the world of team combinations. But if the solo singer market returns again and many excellent solo singers begin to rise, then the solo singer who first started to rise will naturally be "strangled" by countless team combinations because of its high popularity, rapid growth momentum, and bright future.

The team group is unwilling to withdraw from the mainstream market like this, or give it to the mainstream market to solo. Therefore, when facing the stubborn solo singer, you must do your best to "attack" and suppress it.

Not to mention anything else, even if the team group does not have this idea, the agency behind the group will definitely not watch the rise of solo singers. At that time, they will definitely arrange their most popular and competitive combination, choose to return with this solo singer during the same period, and try to play the way to kill one thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred by themselves. Anyway, it will not allow solo singers to develop easily, suppress your upward momentum as much as possible, and prevent your return effect from being maximized.

Although I was also hurt by myself, it doesn’t matter. I have other agency companies and team groups since then, and I have suffered one self-damage, and the impact is not big. But you, the solo singer, have been suffering from the team group’s intentional collision with you, making you unable to return to the focus of attention, and making your interests and effects unable to be maximized. Over time, the loss will be huge.

This is undoubtedly the case in turbo. In 1995, it swept the entire Korean music scene in just half a year, proving its strength and absolute strength. At this time, many agency companies discovered that turbo was coming in a fierce manner, so they chose to let the most powerful solo singers under their company return quickly and block the rising momentum of turbo as much as possible.

Kim Jianmo released his fourth album in 1996 and Shin Seung-hoon's fifth album, which once again swept the Korean music scene. The two once again proved that they were the Gemini and absolute overlord of the Korean music scene, although they also regarded each other as their biggest competitor.

Although Turbo developed very well and had a very popular popularity at that time, it was still difficult to develop under the suppression of the two solo singers Kim Jianmo and Shin Seung-hoon.

In the end, as hot and Crystal Boys made their debut one after another, Kim Jianmo and Shin Seung-hoon were unable to suppress it. In addition, other solo singers were not good, which eventually led to the decline of solo singers, and the mainstream market was gradually occupied by the team group.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to have opened up the true first generation of the Korean team combination. As for the previous combinations of the older generation of fire trucks and Baitoushan, although they are legendary and have developed very successfully, they are only occasionally shining points in the solo singer trend, and they have not opened up the glory of the team combination at all.

It is precisely because of the emergence of turbo that the era of Korean team combinations has been completely set off. Later, hot and crystal boy groups have completely pushed the team combination to the peak, officially announcing the past of solo's era and now belongs to the world of team combinations.

Although turbo is not comparable to hot and crystal boys in terms of popularity and influence, even because there are only two people, it is not comparable to god and myth combinations, or to the three girl groups of fin.k.l, baby v.o.x and ses, turbo's popularity is actually not bad and his honor is not bad, otherwise he would not have become the top ten combinations of the first generation.

You should know that at the peak of turbo, Kim Jong-nam's mechanical dance and Kim Jong-kook's unique and signature mosquito singing style made countless fans crazy. Especially because of the meaning of the name of the turbo group, turbo was destined to be a crazy singing and dancing group.

Needless to say, Kim Jong-nam is the dance leader of Turbo, and mechanical dance is definitely top-notch. In fact, even though twenty years have passed, in the Six Six Songs Club of "Infinite Challenge", although he is old, physically poor and physically unable to keep up, the strength of mechanical dance is still as exciting as ever.

Although Kim Jong Kook is the lead singer, as a member of the team, how could he not dance no matter how he leads the singer? Although Kim Jong Kook made a famous dance of Director Kim in "Xman", Kim Jong Kook's dance was also very powerful during the turbo period. Although it cannot be compared with Kim Jong Nam, Kim Jong Kook's dance strength at that time was definitely better than many of the current teams that were not the leader.

Later, for a series of reasons, Kim Jong-nam and Kim Jong-kook eventually left the agency. To put it bluntly, they were squeezed too much by the agency and they broke up with the agency for the food expenses of the staff around them. After all, this was accumulating many problems and then a complete outbreak of something.

Therefore, in November 1, 1995, Kim Jong-nam was unable to reach an agreement with the agency to leave turbo. Turbo was one of the most fatal blows to the team group, that is, members withdrew from the group.

The negotiation between Kim Jong-nam and Kim Jong-kook and the brokerage company was obviously unable to reach an agreement. In the end, Kim Jong-nam chose to leave, leaving only Kim Jong-kook.

You should know that turbo is a duo combination. Kim Jong Nam has withdrawn, so there is no combination in turbo, and it has completely become Kim Jong Kook's solo. However, because turbo was still valuable at that time, the agency asked Zhao Mingyi to join and formed a brand new turbo combination with Kim Jong Kook.

But even so, turbo has experienced members' withdrawal from the group. The addition of new members has two things that have a very fatal impact on a team group, especially the popularity of the group, which undoubtedly makes turbo begin to turbo.

After a year of hard work, turbo has been temporarily stable. The new member Zhao Mingyi also used his strength and efforts, and his outstanding rap was recognized by fans. However, in 1999, one thing completely changed turbo.

On December 30, 1998, turbo and hot, Crystal Boy, ses, fin.k.l, and Kulong, the most popular and influential group in the Korean music scene at that time represented South Korea to participate in the Asian super concert. Kim Jong Kook had a dispute with the company's manager because of his youth and enthusiasm, and used lip-syncing and not bowing to leave on the spot as a resistance. This behavior caused Kim Jong Kook to be severely criticized by politicians.

The subsequent harsh accusations were that turbo was undoubtedly banned by the TV station due to the intervention of politicians. You should know that this was not a ban by a certain TV station, but a collective ban by three major TV stations, including M-net and other TV stations, as well as local TV stations.

Whether it is because of the intervention of politicians or because of what Kim Jong Kook did at that time, he is very concerned about his appearance and attaches great importance to foreigners and showing the perfection and strength of South Korea abroad, it is really embarrassing to go abroad, and this crime is a big deal.

This time, the ban started in January 1999 and was not exposed to the ban order until October. For ten months, turbo was in a state of being banned in all directions. There was no news about turbo at all in the outside world. It seemed that turbo had completely disappeared from the music scene in the past ten months.

It has to be said that the complete ban in these ten months and almost a year has undoubtedly been fatal to turbo.

Because of the ban in these ten months, it is undoubtedly a fatal blow to turbo's popularity and career. Before this, turbo was no worse than hot and crystal boys. But with this ban, turbo has been separated by the younger generations such as hot and crystal boys.

Not to mention hot and crystal boys, even mythical combinations, nrg and god combinations, it seems to feel a little worse. What causes all this is because of the full ban in almost a year.

Because of this ban, turbo and hot had a clear disadvantage in the competition between the same period and were left behind. You should know that before this, turbo was no worse than hot and crystal boys.

However, even so, after the ban was lifted, turbo began to continue his activities, and relying on his previous background, he consolidated one of the top ten members of his group.

I have to say that Kim Jong Kook is really awesome. With the premise that he has been hit by the TV station for almost a year and there are nine super combinations such as Hot outside to attract popularity and market, Turbo can still stabilize his position after he comes back from the ban. This is really not easy.

In other words, in addition to turbo, if it were hot or crystal boys, they would have been banned almost a year in the turbo at that time, and there were many other excellent and top-level combinations that crazily snatched popularity and market, and it would probably be difficult to get up.

After finally lifting the ban, turbo continued to move, but at this time, turbo was in a turmoil. Strictly speaking, the relationship between Kim Jong Kook and the brokerage company should be at its limit.

The brokerage company blamed Kim Jong Kook for being ignorant, disobeying discipline, and his good temper and rebellion, which not only put the brokerage company under tremendous pressure and accusations, but also completely destroyed a sign like Turbo, which could make money. The signs that make money will be destroyed. This is undoubtedly the lowest level for a brokerage company. This shows how dissatisfied and unhappy the brokerage company was at that time.

In fact, the agency at that time was only popular and able to make money, so he would be willing to turbo for money, or to endure it again and again with Kim Jong Kook. Otherwise, he would have kicked Kim Jong Kook out of turbo. If it were like S.m and Lee Sooman, he would have disbanded turbo directly and suppressed and banned Kim Jong Kook for several years.

The agency's dissatisfaction with Kim Jong Kook reached its limit, but Kim Jong Kook's dissatisfaction with the agency also reached its limit. Because of the popularity of turbo, the agency had no background or confidence, but it also became more and more ambitious, and it became more and more ambitious. It made turbo overload, and it did not consider the health of turbo members at all, and seemed to be able to bear it.

In addition, although Kim Jong-nam's departure was a betrayal of Kim Jong-kook to some extent, it can be said that it was caused by the stinginess of the brokerage company and the unwillingness to give up a little profit, which also made Kim Jong-kook particularly dissatisfied with the brokerage company.

At the Asian super concert at the end of 1998, all kinds of conflicts and dissatisfactions were accumulated, and finally, the conflict between Kim Jong Kook and his manager broke out completely. The young and energetic Kim Jong Kook chose an irrational and extremely extreme way to resist silently.

After almost a year of all-round bans, the brokerage company could not continue to let Turbo make money for himself, and put all his anger on Kim Jong Kook, and Kim Jong Kook was also a man, and he retorted without hesitation and fought back against the brokerage company.

At this time, the conflict between the two sides has reached the verge of an outbreak. The brokerage company only has the final tolerance for Kim Jong Kook because Turbo can continue to make money for the company, and it is also the only combination that can make money by the brokerage company at present. Kim Jong Kook is also for the sake of his fans and does not want to implicate Zhao Mingyi, so he continues to tolerate him in the final tolerance.

However, both sides tolerated each other to the limit, and this time would definitely not be long. So after the full ban was released after the release of the fifth album, at the end of 2001, Kim Jong Kook officially left the agency, left turbo, and chose to go solo.

As a member of a team group, he will undoubtedly encounter the same thing. That is, during the team group period, it seems that the development is smooth and very smooth, but after leaving the group and choosing solo to fly solo, you will find that the development becomes particularly difficult, just like moving forward in the mud, and almost every piece has exhausted all its physical strength.

In addition, the previous anger of the agency towards Kim Jong Kook was also chosen to ban and suppress Kim Jong Kook. Although it is not a top brokerage like S.m, an agency really suppresses an artist, especially an artist who was once under his own, and can still suppress Kim Jong Kook in multiple directions.

If it were someone else, it would have collapsed long ago, but Kim Jong Kook finally survived with his own efforts and persistence, and finally survived and reached his solo peak in 2005, even more than his previous peak at Turbo. That is, he became the second one to win the song awards of SBS, KBS and MBC after Cho Yong-bi, and became the second three crown in the history of the Korean music scene and the final three crowns.

Because after that, the three major TV stations canceled the TV station's ballad award ceremony and no longer presented the award. They just became a simple performance, a ballad performance, rather than the previous ballad award. Therefore, Kim Jong Kook's triple crown became a master singer.

You know, this was something that Lee Hyo-ri didn't even achieve when he formed the so-called Lee Hyo-ri phenomenon at the peak of "10 minutes", but Kim Jong-kook made this bigger.

Even though the first generation of the top ten combinations were disbanded and fell in name only, the second generation of combinations such as Dongfang Shenqi, represented by the second generation of combinations, had not officially risen to replace the seniors, and young solo juniors such as Kim Yu-fan, Rain and Se7en were still growing and won the triple crown without any strong competitors, but this was also a supreme honor.

Unfortunately, Kim Jong Kook was too strong at that time. S.m and other agency companies were worried that Kim Jong Kook would continue his artists and restrict the development of his artists, so they worked together to force Kim Jong Kook to join the army in a hurry at his peak.

It was indeed a hurry, because Kim Jong Kook won the honor of the triple crown at the end of 2005, but in March 2006, he had to join the army and temporarily left the entertainment industry, and he left for two years.

Two years later, Kim Jong Kook returned from the army and found that it was now the world of the younger group members such as Dongfang Shenqi, and there was almost no market for solo singers. Kim Jong Kook, who was a little confused, didn't know where to go for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, Yoo Jae-suk helped Kim Jong Kook and brought Kim Jong Kook to "The Birth of Family". Finally, with Yoo Jae-suk's persuasion and help, Kim Jong Kook began to become a regular member of "The Birth of Family", and with the success of the program "The Birth of Family", he began to gradually get rid of the influence of military service.

Although it once again gained popularity and popularity as a variety show, rather than as a singer, it doesn’t matter. As an artist, the most important thing is to be popular and popularity. Without popularity and popularity, then no identity will be useful at that time.

Finally, Kim Jong Kook exploded completely with the role of "Running Man", and his popularity definitely soared wildly and became a mess. In South Korea, Kim Jong Kook's popularity and influence are definitely at the forefront of the front line. Overseas, especially in overseas places where the program "Running Man" radiates and influences, Kim Jong Kook's popularity and influence, including popularity, will definitely not be worse than the top combinations such as Oriental Shenqi and Girls' Generation.

It was precisely with the foundation of "The Birth of the Family" and the complete explosion of "Running Man" that Kim Jong Kook once again ushered in the third spring of his career and reached the third peak of his acting career!

If it were someone else or anyone who encountered the things that Kim Jong Kook had encountered, as long as it was one of them, it would probably be difficult to get up. Like Kim Jong Kook, he encountered members of the group withdrawing from the group, new members joined, replaced members of the group, and all-round bans on the TV station. The huge conflicts with the agency, and a series of difficulties in military service added up.

Well, I guess in the entire Korean entertainment industry, only Kim Jong Kook can truly be able to fight to the point of being unable to fight, and can have several ups and downs, and once again proudly got up in the eyes of everyone's unexpected and unbelievable eyes.

Only then can Chinese fans sigh that if you say that the hardest Chinese artists are undoubtedly Xiaozhu, then the hardest one in South Korea is Kim Jong Kook.

This is Kim Jong Kook, a unique Kim Jong Kook, a man who breaks what everyone thinks again and again, falls again and again, and a man who stands up proudly again and again, a Kim Jong Kook full of legendary colors.
