On the evening of November 24, 2019, the 42nd day of Shirley's departure, her good friend Gu Hola also passed away.
That night, Gu Ho-la was found dead at his residence in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
The police confirmed that Gu Hola committed suicide, and beside her, the police found a note about her, the content of which was pessimistic, suspected to be the last suicide note left by Gu Hola, and the police did not disclose the contents of the suicide note at present.
Before gu hora and Cui Shirley were alive, they were the closest friends.
After Shirley's death, Gu Hola once cried in the live broadcast, saying that her sister would definitely live with your share.
But now, she did not fulfill her promise, and her vivid and beautiful life came to an abrupt end at the age of 28.
According to the police, the cause of death of Shirley and Gu Hola was depression, but depression was not the real culprit who killed them.
They have all been trapped in the swamp of the entertainment industry and cannot extricate themselves, and they have all been struggling in the whirlpool of public opinion.
In September last year, Gu Hola's predecessor, Choi Jong-fan, beat Gu Hola to the point where her uterus was bleeding, but she bit back and complained to the media about domestic violence.
He threatens to prevent Guhola from resisting with a sneaky sex video.
The strange thing is that she is obviously a victim, but she has become a domestic violence woman who is spit on by everyone.
It wasn't until Gu Hola's diagnosis report was made public and the scumbag went to jail that the truth came out.
But the damage caused by cybercrums is irreversible.
She once said on Instagram: A word can kill people, but also can save people...
In May 2019, Gu Hola tried to commit suicide and was rescued. But no one expected that she would repeat the same mistakes.

In 2016, a survey by the World Health Organization showed that South Korea ranked third in the world in terms of suicide rates among countries.
According to incomplete statistics, in the past 10 years, at least 30 artists in South Korea have committed suicide, which may be the country with the highest suicide rate of artists in the world.

The high pressure and perversion of the Korean entertainment industry have caused many artists to suffer from depression.
They are exposed to the spotlight and the eyes of the world, and they are under pressure that ordinary people cannot bear.
On February 22, 2005, actor Lee Eun-joo hanged himself at home due to severe depression at the age of 25.
2 months before her suicide, the war film "Taiji Flag Flying" starring zhang Dongjian and Yuan Bin won the film box office champion, and her acting skills in "Firebird" spanning ten years also won the Korean MBC DRAMA Acting Award and won the best couple with Lee Seo-jin.
She is not beautiful, but she is better than her excellent temperament, tall figure, clear deer-like eyes, pure and sexy, so that she has always been called "Shen Yinhe's successor".
If she is still alive, her achievements must not be under her contemporaries Song Huiqiao and Quan Zhixian.
In her suicide note, she wrote: "My life now is not the life of a human being at all.
Some people say that she fell into depression because she fell into depression after filming the large-scale movie "Red Letter", but it was not until Zhang Ziyan's incident was exposed that her experience of being toyed with by high-level people was known to the world.
Poster of "The Scarlet Letters"
Zheng Duobin, who was also born in 1980, has starred in a series of popular masterpieces such as "That Boy Is Really Handsome", "Sister-in-law Nineteen Years Old", "Attic Man and Woman" and so on.
"Loft Man and Woman", also known as "House Tower Room Kitten", was once introduced by CCTV, the girl who was like a cat, smiled like a crescent moon, and was one of the earliest K-pop stars liked by many Chinese audiences.
On February 10, 2007, Zheng Duobin was found hanging at her boyfriend's house at the age of 27. Previously, she was depressed because she had not filmed for a long time.
On March 7, 2009, 29-year-old Zhang Ziyan hanged herself at home.
Two years later, Zhang Ziyan's more than 50 suicide notes of more than 2,000 pages were exposed, and the suicide note wrote that the number of high-level people she had slept with was as high as 31, hundreds of times.
They are also forced to take stimulants and drugs for each other's enjoyment, and it is common for four or five guests to be together, and even their parents have to accompany them on their death days, living a life like hell.
But even if the list on the suicide note is clear and shocking the world, in South Korea, a country manipulated by chaebols, justice? inexistent.
Although 200,000 netizens petitioned the Blue House to reopen the investigation, and although South Korean President Moon Jae-in ordered a thorough investigation into the Zhang Ziyan incident on March 20 this year, South Korean prosecutors believed after deliberation that the investigation of Zhang Ziyan's sexual assault case could not be reopened. It is only advisable to strengthen measures in the future to prevent similar incidents.
But wouldn't something like that happen?
According to relevant statistics, 45.3% of female artists in South Korea are required to accompany drinks, and 62.8% of female artists are required to have sexual receptions.
I remember the summer of 2010, when I was shocked to hear that Park Rong-ha had committed suicide due to depression, and the depression of the whole summer vacation afterwards.
From the melancholy male second in "Winter Love Song" to the charming Lee Kyung-min PD in "On Air" (Kim Eun-sook's best work, Song Yoon-er, Kim Ho-na, Park Yong-ha, Lee Fan-so, the rare double male and female double female configuration, ratings as high as 25.4%), are all foreshadowing his future.
His fame in Japan is far greater than that of South Korea, and his departure shocked all of Japan, and at his funeral, even Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife sent wreaths to express their condolences.
If he doesn't go, he'll soon be working with Yoon Eun-hye to remake a TV series from the Chinese film Sweet Honey.
As soon as the news of the cooperation between the two came out, Park Rongxia went
What will be their fate at that time?
In order to commemorate him, Kim wrote a song called "In Heaven" for him, hoping that he would really go to heaven and rest without worry.
At the funeral, his close friend Su Zhixie held his portrait in his hand and cried into tears.
Nine years on, So Ji Seop has been helping to take care of Park Young-ha's family. Every year on his death day, this old friend who lectured on morality would visit his cemetery.
If he knew, he would be happy, right?
On the evening of December 18, 2017, the lead singer of the boy band SHINE, Kim Jong-hyun, committed suicide at the age of 28.
His fans say you don't even know how gentle he is, and he's gone.
He would comfort his part-time fans in the café, make strawberry milkshakes for her, and send her home.
What a gentle man.
He even signed an agreement to donate organs, leaving a large inheritance for his sister.
It is this meticulous and thoughtful person who has been plagued by depression during his lifetime, falling asleep on sleeping pills, and often crying out in the show.
Shirley, her name is Cui Zhenzhen, Liu Yaren commented that she is a girl with the same truth, with a clean and clear soul.
What did she do wrong for the viewer? It's just herself.
This sweet-laughing girl once begged the world to love her more in the show.
But it wasn't until she committed suicide that it really triggered public condemnation and resistance to the Internet violence, and South Korea even introduced the Shirley Law to ban malicious messages.
But does it really work?
In October 2008, Cui Zhen hanged himself in the bathroom, and he was also tortured by bad reviews.
Choi Wasen was once known as the National Queen of Heaven, and "Star Dream" starring An Jae-wook and Cha Ren-joo was my Korean drama enlightenment, when the singer Xiao Min Ge, played by An Jae-wook, walked into the crowd at the concert, satisfying all the fantasies of young girls about love.
Stills from "Star Dreams"
At the time when his career was in full swing, Cui Zhen married Zhao Chengmin, a 5-year-old baseball player, and resolutely quit the show business circle.
However, after marriage, Cui Zhen did not go to happiness as desired, but frequently encountered domestic violence, and after the news of being hospitalized was exposed, he suffered from the cold eyes and ridicule of netizens, and various rumors flew up. The double whammy put her on the road of no return.
Cui Zhenzhen and Zhao Chengmin
In November of the same year, the South Korean parliament passed the Choi Jin-jin Law, which requires large websites to enforce a real-name system and requires websites to quickly deal with cases of reporting malicious comments.
Ironically, after Cui Zhen's death, netizens began to storm Zhao Chengmin's Internet and forced Zhao into a dead end. In 2013, Zhao Chengmin chose the same way as Cui Zhen and hanged himself.

Now, after many years, has the public opinion environment improved?
After Gu Hora's death, the South Korean Internet mob was watching hilarity and even remembering her sex videos.
You see, death doesn't solve anything, you can never wake up a person pretending to be asleep, or a walking dead.
In the face of a harsh living environment, endless online violence, a word, an expression, may be the last straw that overwhelms the camel.
The heroine of "Return", actress Park Jin-hee, graduated from Yonsei University with a degree in social welfare, and her master's thesis titled "A Study of Actors' Stress, Depression, and Their Suicidal Thoughts" said that 40% of Korean actors suffer from depression, and she has also considered suicide because of "unprotected privacy, serious public opinion violence, unstable income, and anxiety about the future."
Someone counted the list of artists suffering from depression in South Korea, which was shocking. For example, when she was a teenager, Tae-yeon revealed that she suffered from depression and was actively receiving treatment.
After Shirley left, the mythical member Jin Yong finished sending an ins, saying:
"Even when young friends can't eat and sleep well, there are still many adults who ask them to show a healthy and bright smile. Hopefully they become beings who are sexy and non-sexual, domineering but don't fight anyone. ”
In the shot, they forced a smile, but off the camera they cried alone.
But this problem does not only belong to the entertainment industry, nor does it belong to South Korea.
How many people are around us, laughing before people and sad behind people?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="239">4</h1>
There is a detail that has been lingering in the mind, lingering.
When the police came to investigate, a Christmas tree was found in Gu Hora's house.
She had already bought a Christmas tree and was ready for Christmas Eve, so why didn't she hold on any longer?
Life is really hard, only the heart becomes stronger, stronger.
When you're exhausted, when you want to end it all, remember that someone hurts you and someone loves you.
So, please hold on a little longer, okay?
Before Shirley and Guhola, they left one by one, and after Shirley and Guhera, hoping that there would be no next.
Finally, share OST "For You" from Dead Is Good:
"You work harder, it's getting better now."
