On July 20, 2005, the 15th episode of "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" received 49.1% of AGB's national ratings and 50.8% of Seoul's ratings.

On July 21, 2005, the finale of "My Name is Kim Sam Soon", AGB had a national rating of 50.6% and a Seoul rating of 52.5%.

On July 22, the Korean media sang praises, not only because of the perfect ending of "My Name is Kim Sam-soon", but also because Jung Hee-yi created the first Korean drama in the history of Korean dramas to star in two consecutive mini-series that broke the 50% ratings record. Coupled with Professor Jean Jang-tae's solidarity with Zheng Xiyi not long ago, Zheng Xiyi was wearing countless "national" high hats on his head for a while, "national brother" and "national actor" have deserved their names, and "national model student" has also been included in the bag, as for the various selections initiated by the Korean media, one has also been released, and before the end of the year, Zheng Xiyi has become the highest male artist in South Korea in 2005.

At the beginning of August, the South Korean media gradually discovered a hint of weirdness.

Since the completion of "My Name is Kim Sanshun", Zheng Xiyi has not appeared on any programs to promote, nor has he attended the grand celebration banquet held by MBC, nor has he accepted any media interviews, and even all kinds of CFs that have flocked to him have refused, including huge CF contracts from South Korean chaebols such as Samsung, SK, Hyundai, and LG. For a while, Zheng Xiyi's whereabouts became a mystery, and even those who had discipline began to find ways to check the recent entry and exit records, but Zheng Xiyi left the country a month ago, so his whereabouts had not been found so quickly.

On August 3, 2005, S.MCC officially announced that its new actor Lee Joon-gi will star in the movie "The King's Man" directed by Lee Jun-ik, and a day later he and the crew jointly held a film launch conference. For a while, all the media's attention turned to this launch conference, because this was the first time that S.MCC took the initiative to convene the media in a month, no matter what the topic was, everyone just wanted to ask one question: "Where did Zheng Xiyi go?"

Although Li Junyi was a little angry about the reporters' attention at his film launch conference, he couldn't help but admit that using the mystery of Zheng Xiyi's whereabouts, "The King's Man" still took advantage of the situation to promote it. Anyway, everyone is here to participate in the boot press conference, although the final report is all focused on Zheng Xiyi's whereabouts, but since S.MCC announced the news of Zheng Xiyi at the press conference, everyone has to return the favor and mention a few sentences of "The King's Man" in the front page headlines.

"World star Zheng Xiyi returns to Hollywood and stars in a new American drama", Lin Xiyin's teeth hurt when he looked at this headline on the front page, and he once again had a new understanding of the small self-esteem of Koreans. Of course, the lack of discipline in the media is the main reason, this kind of exaggerated headline does not represent the opinion of the vast majority of the people in South Korea, but who doesn't like to see their country or their compatriots so awesome, so even if everyone knows that such a headline is pure nonsense, but still accept it with a smile, it doesn't matter which country it is.

Zheng Xiyi starred in the new drama "CriminalMinds, CM", which will be officially broadcast on CBS on September 22, 2005, and his role came a little suddenly, but also a little lucky.

There was no Asian actor in the original planning of "CM", but just before the start of filming in April 2005, the famous actor Matthew Gray Gulleber, who was supposed to play Dr. Spencer Reid in the play, suffered from achalasia, which could not be swallowed, and could only be maintained by nutritional injections, which required surgery to treat, and the preparation and recovery period for surgery were very long, so it was obvious that he could not appear in the first season.

It's not that the crew can't choose another actor to play Dr. Spencer, but Matthew, who is also a member of the show's director and writing crew, proposed a better way: keep Dr. Spencer, wait for him to recover and join the series, and replace him with a character of the same type as Dr. Spencer, so that the crew does not have to re-select actors and revise the script a lot in a very limited time.

Because the crew wrote a lot of unique scenes for the role of Dr. Spencer according to Matthew's personality and ability, most of these scenes will not be available if another actor plays them, but the pilot episode will be filmed in early May, which is related to whether the whole show can be booked, and it is too risky to re-modify the character setting of a main character, and let it integrate into the whole team, it is better to change to a new character who can take over these bridges without problems.

Matthew recommended an actor to the crew who could take over immediately, and assured that the actor was absolutely competent, and in this way, Zheng Xiyi was recommended to the "CM" crew by his good friend Matthew in the film directing department of New York University's Disch School of the Arts. This is the so-called alumni network of the American high society, although Zheng Xiyi is not a student of the Disch School of Art, or even a student of New York University, but the parents of tenured professors of New York University can naturally get in touch with all the alumni of New York University, not to mention the personal friendship between Zheng Xiyi and Matthew is very good.

Zheng Xiyi flew back to the United States in early May to participate in the filming of the pilot episode, and he has been approved by the crew through online remote audition, and the script has been obtained as early as April, and the crew also knows something about the former Hollywood prince. The filming of the pilot episode proved that the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor was not for nothing, and in this way, Zheng Xiyi will replace the ailing Dr. Spencer in the first season of the new American drama "Criminal Minds" and play Dr. Lee, an Asian nerd behavior analyst in the FBI's behavioral analysis department.

On September 22, 2005, "Criminal Minds" was launched, and what surprised CBS was not how high the ratings were, but the large number of Asian viewers who watched "Criminal Minds", and even Korean and Chinese TV stations came to negotiate the purchase of overseas rights, which also made the American film and television industry slowly turn its attention to the increasingly prosperous Asian market.

On September 24, 2005, although overseas copyright has not yet been introduced, there is a video of the first episode of "Criminal Minds" on the Korean Internet, and the number of hits exceeded 300,000 in one day, and the Korean media have also reported the first broadcast data of Zheng Xiyi's return to the United States. The ratings of 12 million people can only be regarded as upper-middle for many American dramas, but for South Korea, which has a total population of less than 50 million, this number is very terrifying, so a new round of blowing the world star Zheng Xiyi has blown again, which made Zheng Xiyi, who is far away in the United States, feel a little bit of the ingenious mathematical ability of the Korean media.

At 3 p.m. on November 6, 2005, in a waiting room in the backstage of SBS Popular Songs, S.M's newly launched super-large boy idol group Super_Junior is making final preparations, and they will officially debut on the Hot_Debut stage of SBS Popular Songs today, 12 group members plus the agent team packed the small waiting room, and all kinds of shouts were intertwined with the tense atmosphere in the air, making everyone a little out of breath.

Eunhyuk and Donghae, who had finished their makeup, shrank in the corner and stared blankly at the messy scene in front of them, even the two most active naughty ghosts in the team were now a little at a loss, and it seemed that everything was not real.

"Brother Hejae, are we really going to make our debut?" Donghai looked ahead and asked unconsciously.

Lee Hyuk-jae, who is now going to be called Eunhyuk, took a breath lightly, bit his lower lip, and once again confirmed that everything in front of him was not a dream, then he nodded and said, "Inside, that's right, we're going to make our debut, and also, call me Eunhyuk in the future." ”

Donghae's eyes were a little red, and he stretched out his hand to grab Eunhyuk's arm, "Brother Hejae, I'm a little nervous and want to go to the toilet, what should I do?"

Yinhe was pinched by him a little painfully, and the kid was so nervous that he didn't know how heavy his hand was, so angry that Yinhe slapped his hand away and said, "Call me Yinhyuk!

Donghae's IQ was awakened, and he shouted at Park Jung-so, who was doing his hairstyle, "Captain Little, Brother Eunhyuk asked me to pee my pants, is he trying to destroy our debut stage." ”

Yinhe was so angry that he wanted to shut his mouth, but Little rolled his eyes at the mirror speechlessly, and shouted: "Hurry up and go to the toilet, what nonsense are you talking about, if you don't go, I'll really let you pee your pants! ”

Yinhe didn't expect that he would be responsible for accompanying Donghai to the toilet, so he was even more angry, stood up and kicked Donghai, "Hurry up, you have a lot of business, tell you not to drink so much water, keep drinking." ”

Donghae muttered and stood up and squeezed out of the standby room from the crowd, and when Yinhyuk also came out and closed the door, the two of them stretched at the same time, Donghai looked at the public waiting room not far away and said: "Our waiting room is more crowded than the public waiting room, I knew that it was better to stay in the public waiting room." ”

Eun Hyuk kicked him in the ass again, "Hurry up, aren't you going to the toilet?" Do you think that so many of us will not take up space when crowded into the public waiting room, and it is considered a big face for newcomers to have a special waiting room, if it weren't for the company's sake, how would we have this treatment." ”

Donghai patted the footprints on his buttocks as he walked, turned around and asked: "The company's face is worth such a big standby room, so many of us don't give a bigger standby room, we are all about to squeeze into kimchi." ”

Eunhyuk pouted, sighed, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his neck, and said as he walked, "Do you think you are TVXQ's brothers? ”

When the two of them were about to walk to the bathroom, suddenly the door of a standby room next to them opened, and a person came out of it. ”

ANDY LAUGHED WHEN HE SAW IT, WALKED OVER AND PULLED EUNHYUK AND DONGHAE AND SAID, "YES, WHAT SENIOR, NIM, HYUK, DONGHAE, DON'T YOU KNOW ME?

Yinhe was relieved when he heard him say this, and said with a smile: "Brother ANDY, this is not outside, you have to pay attention to the impact." ”

ANDY SMILED AND PUNCHED HIM IN THE CHEST, "YOU KID STILL LEARNED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE INFLUENCE? YOU DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE INFLUENCE WHEN YOU WERE S.M., HAVEN'T YOU SEEN IT FOR A FEW YEARS, CAN YOU STILL LEARN WELL?"

Yinhe nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, the mythical brothers have always been my role models, brother, do you think I have learned well?"

ANDY LAUGHED ANGRILY, POINTED AT HIM AND SAID, "YOU KID IS STILL SO FLAMBOYANT, I CAN'T TALK ABOUT YOU, COME, I'LL FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN TALK TO YOU." I was just going to look for you, but I met when I went out, saving me from running errands, Donghai, you go back and call all the people in your group, there are seniors who want to see you. ”

SAYING THAT, ANDY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT DONGHAI ANYMORE, HE PULLED YINHYUK AND WALKED TO THE WAITING ROOM, AND THE MOMENT THE DOOR CLOSED, HE ONLY HEARD YINHYUK LET OUT A HALF-SCREAM.

Donghai stupidly watched the two of them walk into the waiting room, and waited for the door to close before he spoke: "Brother, I'm still in a hurry to go to the toilet." ”
