Because of health problems, Lee Tae-min, a member of the South Korean boy band SHINee who had been serving in the military, was placed in supplementary service. South Korean media reported that Lee Tae-min's brokerage company, sm, also said that it would be incorporated into the Ministry of National Defense Service Support Corps on January 14 as a supplementary service.
Since May 31 last year, Lee Tae-min was placed in supplementary service as an active member of the Army, in large part because mental health problems have not been well addressed. SM also said that Taimin had suffered from depression problems before and had been treated and counselled during his military service, but the situation has recently deteriorated, and the army believes that Taimin cannot receive military life and treatment at the same time, so it has placed him in supplementary service.
Why Lee Tae-min has such symptoms is actually because of the cruelty of K-pop artists' lives in South Korea. Just like in 2017, the same group member Kim Jong-hyun committed suicide due to depression and died of ineffective rescue, only 27 years old.
Many times we always have some prejudice against the Boy Bands in Korea, thinking that they have no other skills besides their appearance advantages, and they can come out and circle money only by relying on a handsome face.
However, the vast majority of Korean boy band members have received arduous training since childhood and need to go through a very strict practice life to make their debut. Just like some of the Chinese stars we are familiar with who have successfully debuted in South Korea, Zhang Yixing, Wang Jiaer and others have also trained in South Korea for a long time to be able to make some achievements in the mainland and get the respect of many people.
Most of the K-pop stars received arduous training from an early age, and Kim Jong-hyun, who was still a high school student at the time, was selected as a trainee of sm, and during that period he had no good friends, and he went to the company's practice room every day after school to practice for 6 hours before he could go home.
In addition to the fixed responsibilities of each boy band member, Kim Jong-hyun can be said to be an all-round singer, not only good at singing and dancing, but also good at composing songs. For example, some popular Korean dramas are composed by him, and the TV series "City Hunter" that made Lee Min-ho famous in one fell swoop, the interlude in the film is the lyrics composed by Kim Jong-hyun.
As the lead singer of SHINee members, many of the group's popular singles were created by Kim Jong-hyun, and he also composed lyrics for singers such as IU and Lee Ha-yee. But why is it that such an all-round artist can't think of it, and after having everything at the best age, he chooses to use death to liberate life?
Because there is no shortage of K-pop artists in South Korea, the idol market tends to saturate the Korean entertainment industry with fast consumption, and the speed of renewal is amazing, maybe today you are popular, but no one will know your name until tomorrow.
Even if artists work like clockwork perpetual motion machines, the speed of progress is still not as fast as the speed of being forgotten by the public. If you don't want to be forgotten, you can only continue to produce good works, but you also have to accept the scrutiny of the public and bear a lot of pressure.
The food story of TWICE member Momo is no secret among TWICE fans. In a live broadcast, Momo revealed that her agency, JYP Entertainment, had forced her to lose 6 kilograms (15 pounds) before performing on stage, and said she would not be able to perform if she couldn't. In desperation, Momo completely gave up food, ate only one ice cube a day, and spent a week.
Former Oh My Girl member JinE left the group because she couldn't stand the pressure to meet the "idol standards". In 2016, JinE was officially diagnosed with anorexia, when she weighed just 38 kilograms (84 pounds).
In previous shows, Kim Jong-hyun also talked about being very demanding of himself, because if you want to become an artist, the price is to be more sensitive than others. In an interview, he also said that he is basically a world-weary person, and often expresses his melancholy, but people can't always survive with such a sense of melancholy, this melancholy may last until the first half of life, if you want to grow, you must lose this melancholy.
In fact, in the interview at that time, it was already the first sign, and it may be that he has been tortured by depression and breathless. In fact, it may be possible to ask the outside world for help, but people do not care or see his request for help and are helpless, and even accuse and insult.
Not only the cruelty of the growth of Korean group artists, just like the Well-known Zhang Guorong, Chen Baolian jumped off the building and committed suicide because of depression, just like Zheng Xiuwen, Wu Yanzu, Zhang Huimei, etc. also admitted that they were disturbed by depression.
Whether it is a star artist or an ordinary person living in reality, they all hope that under the intrusion of depression, they can still face life optimistically and actively find ways to solve problems. #李泰民健康状况恶化 #
