阅读下列短文,根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。(每空一词)

Han Geng is a member of the popular boy band Super Junior in South Korea. The band has 12 members. He is the only Chinese.

Han was born in Heilongjiang Province on January 9th, 1984. In 1997, he went to Beijing to learn how to dance with nobody together. In 2001, a Korean music company discovered the 17-year-old boy. After that, he spent three years in South Korea receiving lessons in singing, dancing and acting.

When he got to Korea, he couldn’t speak any Korean. He worked very hard to learn it. He wrote the words on small pieces of paper and stuck them on his walls. “Every night I read and tried to remember some words before I went to bed,” he said.

Now he can not only speak Korean but also sing in Korean. Han says that he was born for the stage. “When I’m on stage, there’s nothing in my mind. I just go with the flow of the music,” he said.

Unlike on stage, the young man is very quiet in life. He likes to do things on his own—reading, listening to music and watching horror films. He hopes someday he can play the lead role in an action movie, and be like his hero Andy Lau.
