I'm sure many people who watched would say, 'That's completely out of line; it doesn't resemble it at all!'
There's been a misunderstanding!
The wax figure doesn't resemble the real Sun Nan because he has been managing his image over the years.
Look! He just had double eyelid surgery and hasn't even fully recovered yet, and he went to compete in “Singer 2024.”
With his song “Rescue,” he secured second place. Sun Nan is truly incredible!
But before his appearance, everyone was criticizing him for withdrawing from the competition years ago. Fortunately, he stunned everyone as soon as he took the stage, and those who criticized him quickly became fans.However, things often take unexpected turns. In the earlier rounds, Sun Nan consistently placed first or second, but in the recent eighth episode, he fell from grace and ended up in fifth place.
What exactly happened? Let's take a look.
After being heavily criticized online, he bravely responded to the reasons for his withdrawal from the competition
Why was Sun Nan criticized? This goes back to 2015 when he participated in 'Singer.' During the live broadcast of the finals, Sun Nan suddenly raised his hand to request to speak to the host, Wang Han.Everyone thought Sun Nan was going to give a speech, and Wang Han agreed to his remarks. Who would have thought that when the camera was on, Sun Nan took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
First, he gave some remarks about his participation, but then he shocked everyone by saying, 'I am the biggest brother in this season of “Singer,” and I want my younger siblings to continue striving for the title of king of singers, so I have decided to forfeit my chance at the title.'
His sudden withdrawal left everyone stunned and led to a flurry of reactions online. The host, Wang Han, was unexpectedly handed a shocking situation. Fortunately, Wang Han handled it like a pro with a four-minute speech, which has since been regarded as a textbook example of crisis management.

Since he has some negative incidents in his past, many netizens were understandably upset. When they found out that Sun Nan would be participating in “Singer 2024,”the criticism quickly poured in online.
Nine years later, Sun Nan responded to the controversy surrounding his withdrawal: 'I can now approach it with a calm mindset. Back then, I was young and impulsive; I couldn't handle everyone's judgment and maybe wanted to escape. But at this age, I can face it with tranquility.'
Sun Nan even referenced his infamous moment from back then: 'Some say that He Jiong should be careful, as Sun Nan might raise his hand!'
Some have commented that Sun Nan is no longer putting on a facade, but it's clear that his talent is the most effective response. With his song “Rescue,” he secured second place.
Sun Nan's ranking has dropped
Looking back at his competition journey, in the first three episodes, he either took first or second place, receiving rave reviews for his impressive performance from the moment he started singing.
However, in the following seventh and eighth episodes, Sun Nan's ranking plummeted dramatically, landing at fourth and fifth place. What could be the reason for this?
Let's first take a look at the Cantonese song “Speechless Gratitude” that Sun Nan performed in the latest eighth episode. First of all, this is a Cantonese song, and it cleverly incorporates Zhao Chuan's “For Everyone Who Knows My Name.” It sounds very creative, but there are also some critical flaws.
First of all, Sun Nan's Cantonese pronunciation was not sufficiently accurate, leading to vocal breaks during his performance, which is a significant mistake for a singer.
Additionally, Sun Nan’s singing style remained consistent throughout, featuring orchestral strings, familiar vocal tones, and repetitive gestures, which contributed to a sense of aesthetic fatigue among the audience.
As a result, the monotony of Sun Nan's performance style is also one of the reasons for his declining ranking.
However, when it comes to Sun Nan's vocal quality, range, pitch, and enunciation, he is truly impeccable. He even had the nickname “The Man Who Could Sing Through Half of Hong Kong's Entertainment Scene.”
Gifted with a great voice, it's like the heavens have provided him with his meal
Sun Nan was born into a family rich in artistic influence; his father was an outstanding tenor, while his mother was a performer in a dance troupe.
In his teenage years, Sun Nan tried various jobs, including working as an electrician, a salesperson, and even at a pencil factory.
Ultimately, his talent couldn't stay hidden. A chance opportunity led him into the music industry, and from there, his career flourished. At the age of 21, Sun Nan recorded his debut album “Curved Moon” and was fortunate to meet his music mentor, Gu Jianfen.
Subsequently, his two albums, “We Are All Heartbroken” and “Whose Heart Forgot to Collect,” received positive market responses. In 1996, his single “The Red Flag Flutters” launched him to fame in the mainland music scene, making him a dazzling star.
Sun Nan's achievements gave him the confidence to be called the “The best singer in China.” Whether it was his stellar performance at the 1997 Spring Festival Gala, where he sang “1997” alongside multiple stars, or his theme song for Feng Xiaogang's New Year film “Not Seeing, Not Saying,” he left a profound mark in the music industry.

In the mainland Chinese music scene, among male singers, Sun Nan is undoubtedly a top-tier presence, both in terms of the popularity of his works and his personal vocal prowess.
However, since “The Singer” is a competitive show, how will the top singer Sun Nan take his next steps? Let's stay tuned and see!"
