Han Geng or Hankyung (born February 9, 1984), is a Mainland Chinese pop singer and actor well-known not only for his dance skills but also the numerous amounts of charity works he does. At a very young age, Han Geng started to learn dance, and by the age of 12, was accepted into the dance department of the Central University for Nationalities, which he left his family and his hometown in order to attend in Beijing. During his years in school, he mastered all 56 types of Chinese traditional dances from the 56 Chinese ethnic groups.[a][2]
In 2001, he was chosen by SM Entertainment to become a member of Korean boy band Super Junior, which debuted in 2005, and the captain of its sub-group Super Junior M in 2008. On December 21, 2009, Han Geng filed a lawsuit against SME to terminate his contract with SME as he felt the 13 year contract was unlawful and overly restrictive.[3][4]
For his various contributions to the spread of Chinese culture, Han Geng was also chosen to become a torch bearer for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, becoming the first boy band member in history to hold this role.[5]
