Why do Koreans spoil Leslie Cheung?

First, let's see how much Koreans love their brother Leslie Cheung. On April 1 day every year, the name Leslie Cheung will be listed on the hot search of Korean website without exception. Media reports will be overwhelming, and a large number of Korean fans will also express their condolences and regrets online. Even now, Leslie Cheung's pop songs can still be heard in some Korean video stores.

In the late 1980s, video recorders were widely used in South Korea, which enabled Hong Kong films to spread widely. At that time, the Hong Kong Film Department was a classic. In fact, many Korean movies about gun battles between police and bandits are also inspiring. Many movie protagonists, such as Leslie Cheung, Joey Wong and Chow Yun Fat, are sought after by Koreans as representatives of Hong Kong stars. Leslie Cheung has captured countless Korean fans with films such as Hero and Ghost Story.

Song Hye Kyo Jing once said personally that he was a fan of Leslie Cheung since he was a child. Hearing the bad news of Leslie Cheung's death, she couldn't help crying on the spot.

But she has never had a chance to cooperate, and now it has become her lifelong regret. South Korean national host Yu Jae Seok is crazy about Leslie Cheung and has been singing his songs.

Leslie Cheung can become an idol, not only because of his personal charm, but also because of his achievements. In South Korea, the local sales of other Hong Kong singers' records are generally around 30,000, but Leslie Cheung's is more than ten times that of other Hong Kong singers. The record Love, which entered the Korean market, became the best-selling Chinese record, selling 200,000 copies, and no one has broken this record so far. Two years later, when the album Leslie Cheung's hottest song was released, it set a sales record of 300,000 copies in South Korea.

Leslie Cheung is undoubtedly the most successful China movie star in South Korea, and his worship has become a cultural phenomenon.
