Miss Furong rises to stardom

Was the star created with the help of the Internet? Why did she portray such an odd persona?

One can only sigh: The world is changing too fast.
  
South Korean soap opera craze



"Jewel in the Palace" reaches new highs in viewer ratings.

"Audition"



This show was a hit for its magnificent gaming scenes and adorable characters. However, during this time, adolescent Internet addiction has become a serious social problem.

"The Myth"

Box office champion of 2005 was an honor that undoubtedly belonged to "The Myth", starring Jackie Chan and Kim Hee Sun.

Focus of the year: "Super Girl"
 
It could be said that "Super Girl" was one of the most popular buzzwords of that summer.



In no time at all, contestants saw their own fan bases established and their popularity soar both on and off the Internet.

"Super Girl" also gave rise to all sorts of disputes: ardent fans did things from worshipping their idols on Internet forums to snatching other people's mobile phones to send text message votes.

A new generation of idols had been created that belonged to the people.

US commentaries also made very entertaining reading;

some Americans said that because the "Super Girl" winner was truly chosen by the people, the success of the program demonstrated that China had made progress in democratization.

Whether or not this was the case, the time for ordinary people to become stars had truly arrived.
