Sachawon (사차원): 韓國瘋狂名人實錄

on September 12, 2014 at 3:09 pm

Fake or real? Just by looking at what they’re doing and how they talk, it’s pretty hard to tell if that’s their nature of if they’re faking it. Often associated with the Korean term Sachawon (사차원), four-dimensional personality, these Korean figures act in the craziest way possible that most of the times bring laughter and sometimes … terror. Here, we introduce some of these four-dimensional figures, covering both celebrities and non-celebrities to show you how crazy Koreans can get.

假如只是從電視觀看人們的一舉一動，我們也很難分辨出其真人是否如電視所見的一樣。在韓國，他們會以「四次元」去形容一些擁有獨特個性，行為表現有別於常人的人，而這類人總是以最瘋狂的方法讓你捧腹大笑—甚至是驚嚇。就讓我們帶你去韓國了解這類人可以有多瘋狂吧！

01 The No.1 Dol+I Star, Noh Hongchul (盧弘喆)

Do you remember the elevator guy from PSY’s Gangnam Style music video? This is him, Noh Hongchul, known for his crazy insane behavior shown on TV shows. He is the number one public icon when it comes to craziness due to his wild nature. He is often quoted as Dol+I, meaning a fool or a crazy person with a Korean pun. Some of his crazy moments include going up to foreigners and making friends with them instantly, showing off his trademark dance moves as shown in PSY’s music video, scaring others away, laughing like a madman and boasting about his bizarre sense of fashion. Screenshots and videos of his crazy moments could maybe explain more than words.

有看過江南Style的你也許會知道盧弘喆是誰，他在電視節目上的瘋狂行徑更是讓他一躍成名，Dol+I之名亦由此而生。其瘋狂行徑數之不盡，其中他曾向外國人表示要跟他交朋友、向人展示他在江南Style的招牌舞步、故意嚇跑他人、像瘋子般大笑、跟人吹噓他奇怪的時尚觸覺等等⋯⋯若文字不能滿足你的話，看看以下片段便能一清二楚。

02 Looking over No’s spot, Kwanghee （光熙）

Who would have ever expected Noh’s empire to be torn down by another crazy star? A member of a Kpop idol group ZE:A, Kwanghee is known for his playful attitude and somewhat a gay-ish way of speaking. He diverges away from the traditional image of idol groups, establishing his character as a funny icon and not afraid of showing his embarrassing moments on live. Kwanghee first got fame by bragging about his artificial nose and all the spots where he got plastic surgery. Since it is socially rare for Korean guys to get plastic surgery (… at least compared to Korean girls), him being a ‘plastic face’ himself instantly drew attention. He even had a shoot for a plastic surgery surgeon ad. Interesting!

一山還有一山高，沒有最瘋狂只有更瘋狂，以活潑愛玩和談吐帶點女性化而為人認識的光熙，身為偶像團體ZE:A成員的他，拋開了偶像的包袱，在人前展示了其有趣的一面，即使在現場遇上尷尬時刻亦毫不擔心。要說光熙當然少不了他的人工鼻子，他本人亦大方分享曾整過的位置，此舉成功吸引了不少目光，能夠搭上整型廣告似乎也不太意外啊！

Following are online stars for their crazy UCCs. Mostly posted on Youtube and Facebook, the following gained fame originally by uploading covers of idol group songs on their Facebook page which quickly went viral. Here we introduce two of the many rising web stars.

這股瘋狂的風氣，還蔓延至網絡世界，不少人把自己模仿偶像的片段上載至Youtube和Facebook而成名，以下就是其中兩位。

03 Rising internet star, ‘Feeling Feel’ Lee Senghyeon

This middle schooler is known for his crazy covers of famous Kpop groups, mostly 2NE1. Check out some of his crazy videos below. These somehow reflect a typical scene at a Korean middle school, playing around with friends at school.

這位中學生總是瘋狂手法去模仿偶像，好不好看不是重點，反正他是紅了，順道還可以窺探一下韓國中學生的生活。

04 Cutie pie, Mickey Mouse Alba

Another crazy internet star is this cute little boy who named himself as Mickey Mouse Mask Alba, since he used to work on populated streets of Seoul dancing off as a part time job while he had to wear a Mickey Mouse mask. This time, he moved his stage to a convenient store where he covers some K-pop songs using a few items from the store as supplementary props. Time to Watch?

在首爾街頭你會發現一位帶著米奇老鼠頭套的表演者，他把自己稱為Mickey Mouse Mask Alba，最近他在便利店拍了一段模仿片段，還用上一些商品充當道具，有興趣就去看一下吧！
