She is also the "national princess" loved by the Korean people.
However, the events unfolded unexpectedly

What led her to the brink of extinction
Hello everyone, this is the Strange News Observation Room, I am Changfeng
In South Korea in 2019, such a tragic and indignant thing happened, which shocked the entire Korean entertainment industry.
South Korean celebrities have canceled their trips and postponed events, all because they want to send the same friend on the last trip.
Sherry Trish
She is a 25-year-old Korean popular female artist, once South Korea's "national princess" - Choi Shirley
So why did a popular actress who was only 25 years old suddenly die?
Let's first travel back to 2019 and take you to re-understand this incident
Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 2019
Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, geographically surrounds the capital of South Korea, Seoul and Incheon Metropolitan City, and some people say that it is the heart of South Korea, the center of economic and cultural development, and its resident population of more than 13 million, is the largest local government group in South Korea.
Gyeonggi-do
It is one of the most attractive regions in Korea, bringing together The Past, Present and Future of Korea.
The story we are going to tell today is what happened here.
On October 14, 2019, Choi Shirley's agent contacted Choi Shirley as usual, but she could not be contacted, so she rushed to Choi Shirley's residence in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province.
Sherry's residence
The outside of the house did not look unusual, but when she walked into the house, she found that 25-year-old Cui Shirley had lost her breath.
After receiving the alarm, the South Korean police rushed to the scene of the crime at the first time, and after inspection, found that there was no trace of outsiders breaking into the house, and also ruled out the possibility of his killing, Cui Shirley chose to end her life at the most brilliant moment of her life.
Then as a popular actress in South Korea, she was also a member of the popular Korean girl group F(x), starred in many film and television works, and originally had a great future.
Women's Group F(x)
More importantly, she is just 25 years old, her life and acting career have just begun, and behind her choice to live lightly, is there any secret hidden.
Born on March 29, 1994 in Busan, South Korea, Sulli came to a big family with two older brothers and a younger brother.
Sulli
Before her official debut, Little Shirley had participated in many film performances as a child star, but they were all cameos and supporting roles.
It was at this time that the star scouts of SM Entertainment found Xiao Shirley on the set and invited her to audition for the company, knowing that SM Entertainment is the top entertainment company in South Korea, and it is the dream of many people to develop in the company.
In 2005, after layers of selection, Shirley, who was only 11 years old, officially joined SM Entertainment and became a trainee under its umbrella, starting a 4-year trainee career, and the company also regarded her as a key object to cultivate.
In the subsequent sm entertainment 10th anniversary celebration, Shirley was selected as the representative of the trainees, she stood in the company's founder Li Xiuman, H.O.T group's An Qixuan and the captain of the Oriental Shenqi Zheng Yunhao, Shirley C's standing posture is enough to show that she is deeply valued by the company, and the company's major predecessors also escort her.
Little Shirley
In the years that followed, Shirley continued to appear in major film and television works while studying hard, and was widely acclaimed.
On September 5, 2009, Shirley, who had been a trainee for 4 years, made her debut as a member of the Korean pop girl group F(X), which was quite lucky.
It is not easy to practice debut in Korea, some take 7-8 years, and Shirley was only 15 years old when she debuted.
The F(X) group was composed of Victoria, Liu Yiyun (Amber), Park Sun-pi (Luna), Jung So-jing (Krystal), Choi Shirley (Sulli), five very young and energetic players, so that the group was very popular in Korea at that time, just debuted to win the Newcomer Award.
After that, it won the Popular Group Award at the 8th Korea Music Awards, the 2012 MAMA Best Dance Performance Girl Group, and so on. This has also won Shirley a large number of fans.
SM Entertainment has promoted Shirley as the heroine, and her performance in many movies has indeed been quite good.
The escort of many predecessors has made Shirley the darling of the Korean entertainment industry.
Shirley gives people the impression of pure and sweet, delicate and cute, white and beautiful, is simply the jade idol in everyone's mind, the goddess of the house, with more and more works of Shirley, she has gradually become the "national princess" loved by the Korean people, a collection of many pets in one.
Pretty and cute Shirley
But who would have thought that just when Shirley was becoming popular, something happened that made Shirley's life change dramatically.
Since then, Shirley's behavior has changed drastically, her behavior is strange, from a well-behaved and obedient pure girl to a strange coffee in everyone's eyes.
An inflection point in life
In July 2013, the fuse that changed Shirley's life appeared, and Shirley's relationship was exposed.
At this time, Shirley was just 20 years old, but she fell in love with the singer Cui Zi, who was 14 years older than herself.
Romance exposed
In fact, in South Korea, there is a very developed star-making mechanism, and the most important point of the star-making mechanism is to create dreams for fans.
The key to how to get fans to support and love their idols for a long time is that they need to stay single, so banning love has become a convention of Korean entertainment companies.
This phenomenon is not only found in South Korea, there are similar situations all over the world, and it is not big news that celebrities suddenly broke out that they have long been married and have a child.
In South Korea, if there is a star who deliberately conceals his love affair and is finally exposed, the star's life is usually not good, when a large number of fans feel cheated, they will carry out public opinion attacks, and even crazy containment, insults, and do something more crazy.
Ordinary friends
Although Shirley's company stood up at the first time to clarify, saying that Shirley and Cui Zi were just ordinary friends.
However, in August 2013, Shirley went so far as to publicly admit her love affair with Cui Zi, and there were also rumors that someone had picked up their wallet, which included several photos of the couple, so the relationship was exposed.
Openly admit to the relationship
In fact, in the entertainment industry, this kind of couple photo is not a new thing, as long as the entertainment company does a good job of public relations in time, basically things will slowly cool down, but this time Shirley herself took the initiative to admit the relationship, the situation is completely different.
Since then, Shirley's black fans have begun to carry out endless public opinion attacks on her on the Internet.
Shirley went to the hospital for examination due to physical discomfort, and black powder spread rumors that Shirley's private life was chaotic and infected with gynecological diseases.
Public opinion attacks
Shirley accidentally ate too much, and Black Powder said that Shirley was pregnant and pregnant with whoever was the child.
When Shirley was in a bad mental state on the plane, there were rumors that she had taken drugs or been drinking, etc
In short, it is all kinds of outrageous rumors.
All kinds of outrageous rumors
Shirley, who is only 20 years old, is facing tremendous pressure, first of all, she took the initiative to announce her relationship, breaking the company's dream plan, and it is foreseeable that her future will be greatly affected.
In addition to her career setbacks, Shirley also suffers daily attacks from online public opinion and insults from fans, which brings great trouble to her life.
On July 25, 2014, SM Entertainment issued a statement saying:
"Shirley has recently been physically and mentally exhausted due to persistent vicious comments and unsubstantiated rumors, so she decided to temporarily stop her acting activities and recuperate."
Clear-eyed people know at a glance that Shirley is going to be hidden by the company, and as for when she can make a comeback, no one can say for sure.
On August 7, 2015, Shirley issued a statement saying that she would "concentrate on acting in the future, so she decided to quit the f(x) girl group."
Since then, Shirley seems to have freed herself from all shackles and started her life of "letting go of herself".
She often publishes her own photos on INS, including a large number of large-scale sexy photos, and even various intimate photos of her and her boyfriend.
Sexy photos on a large scale
This transformation is very large, fans can not accept for a while, before Shirley gave everyone the impression of the girl next door, the national princess, pure and lovely, suddenly the style of painting suddenly changed, into a mature and sexy route, which triggered an unprecedented controversy among the Korean people.
In addition, Shirley also began to accept some large-scale film shooting, in her spare time, Shirley often opened live broadcasts, the form of live broadcasts are very grounded forms, often plain face chat with fans.
During this time, the insults against Shirley were overwhelming
But she stood up strongly. Even in the busy work, when Shirley opened the live broadcast, she was still more cheerful, often kept smiling, and was a strong little woman.
live broadcast
Under the pressure of huge public opinion on the Internet, although Shirley struggled to hold on, her boyfriend could not hold back, and in the end, the relationship between the two came to an end in March 2017.
This is difficult for Shirley, who is already under great pressure, to accept for a while
Shirley said after the breakup:
I was deeply hurt by the people around me, I started to become insecure, and my closest friends from the past left me, and that's when I broke down. I don't open my heart to anyone anymore.
You know, at this time, Shirley was only 23 years old, and for many people, this age is still under the care of her parents and has not officially entered the society.
Cyber violence
Although some people on the Internet are constantly carrying out various verbal violence against Shirley, she has not chosen to retire and is still working non-stop.
Job
Every day, with various announcements and participation in various TV programs, she is still trying to live hard, trying to live better.
On social media, Shirley likes to share her life, almost every day will be updated, before she often read her books, try to learn things published on it, and then she posted photos on INS without underwear, instantly made her become the focus of public opinion, on the Internet, there were a large number of people who attacked her.
No photo of underwear
Shirley once said in a show that she does not wear underwear only represents her personal point of view, she believes that there are steel rings in the underwear, which will affect her health, so she does not wear it, but this does not alleviate the accusations against her on the Internet.
While eating with friends at a restaurant, Shirley turned on the livestream, and a large number of netizens discussed or directly abused her for not wearing underwear.
In short, no matter what Shirley posted on INS, no matter what she said during the live broadcast, insults and accusations were always everywhere, and social media was full of malicious and violent language.
No underwear
Over time, Shirley became depressed and needed to be treated once a week, which was only known after the fact. Because Shirley is a self-respecting person, she did not disclose that she had depression at first.
Shelly also once asked the company to help deal with a large number of malicious comments, but SM Entertainment did not seem to want to deal with these rotten things, and behaved very negatively.
In Shirley's last period, many people saw that her state was a little poor, sometimes the spirit of the live broadcast was a little trance, sometimes the live broadcast suddenly started in the middle of the night, and then with tears in her eyes without saying a word, people who cared about her were very worried about her state.
Barbie doll with a broken hand and a broken foot
She also posted a photo of a Barbie doll with a broken hand and a foot on INS, and once posted a video of an eel grilled, and Shirley also voiced the eel.
"Ah! Save me, save me! She laughed!
Such behavior has caused a large number of netizens to blame, and some people speculate that Shirley has a mental problem.
Once, Shirley and a friend held a live broadcast, and the man next door kept secretly filming, and the man also walked directly with his mobile phone.
It is reasonable to say that on this occasion, Shirley directly refused, but Shirley's performance at that time was, holding her head with both hands, scaring her to curl up under the table, and her friend quickly turned off the live broadcast.
Curl up under the table
This incident shows that Shirley is in a state of extreme fear, and a lot of online violence has made her very vulnerable and close to collapse.
This should be a red flag for her to send to the outside world, but this has not attracted people's attention, but some people continue to speak ill of each other, saying that she does not want her face, relies on the flesh to win traffic, and so on.
In the early hours of October 6, 2019, a week before Shirley left, she left these words on the livestream,
"But I don't like to scold people, and if this becomes a text to stay, because I can't see that person's feelings, I'm really scared." How nice it would be if you could say gentleness."
Such words were left in the live broadcast
She hoped that fans and netizens could talk to her gently, rather than full of accusations and insults, and finally she looked at the camera with tears in her eyes, which should be a signal for her to call for help.
Shirley has also publicly stated:
I don't know what's going to happen in the future, I'm exhausted, but no one listens to me. If I had a tough time right now, no one would understand.
In this way, under the continuous verbal attacks and a lot of online violence, Shirley became vulnerable and collapsed, and in the case of many fruitless requests for help, she finally chose the most extreme approach.
Bite your fingers
On October 14, 2019, Shirley ended her young life in her own house, she did not leave a suicide note, people only learned from her diary that her last days were very difficult, and the last page of the diary wrote the word "pain".
We need to know that no one in the world will give up her life for no reason, unless she feels that it is too painful to live.
Shirley is like this, from a popular female artist in South Korea, under the violence of the Internet, slowly to the end, these are carried out under the eyes of countless people.
She has repeatedly sent a euphemistic signal to the outside world for help, but it has not attracted people's attention, and the insults and accusations against her have never stopped.
Accusations
In the end, Shirley, even if she was strong, fell into countless insults and fell under online violence.
Want to know the truth
After Shirley's death, speculation about her life was widely debated in South Korea, and various theories circulated on the Internet.
In order to learn the truth of the facts, after Shirley's death, South Korea's SBS TELEVISION station made a special program "Want to Know the Truth" for her, trying to make the melon-eating masses understand what happened to Shirley and what made her go to the end of the road.
"Want to Know the Truth"
The program team deliberately tracked down a lot of people who left malicious comments for Shirley, and conducted confidential interviews with them, in which people heard incredible remarks.
Netizen A said:
I scolded Shirley's message, that was 100 weeks ago, if it was written 10 weeks before Shirley's death, I would apologize, now that 100 weeks have passed, what do you want me to do?
Netizen A
Netizen B said:
I think Shirley, although she is a girl, is stronger than the average boy, so I scolded her, she should not care, can withstand, can not hurt her.
Netizen B
Netizen C said:
I didn't scold her for "going to die", I thought that only "go to die" was a vicious message, so I scolded her for neuropathy and so on, which would not hurt her.
Netizen C
Netizen D said:
If you can't bear these, how can you be an artist, as a public figure, you should not accept these well, if you can't accept it, or don't be an artist early.
There are many more such remarks, and the point is that these people who write these bad reviews are not aware of their own problems at all, think that the problem is with Shirley, and think that Shirley should bear these.
In addition, a large number of news and media have also launched various negative reports on Shirley, and SBS television has tried to find the reporters who write these reports.
It turned out that the people who wrote the relevant reports were basically anonymous. And for the sake of clicks, a lot of lace news has been fabricated, in short, how to attract people is how to make up.
All kinds of nonsense
People from the Korean Journalists Association said that these anonymous reporters are for money, there is no basis for writing, purely for traffic, South Korean media agencies will not review the manuscript, because they also have to pursue traffic, the more widely the news dissemination, the higher the popularity of the media agency, the more advertising fees earned.
Later, even if the TV station contacted several anonymous reporters by phone, they did not realize their problems, and said that they did not write, others will write, thinking that this is not a big deal.
As everyone knows, it is these malicious comments, negative reports, that push Shirley into the abyss step by step.
For five or six years, the endless online violence has left the girl, who is not yet 25 years old, lose everything, including her love, freedom and even life.
Cyberbullying
So looking back, who killed Shirley?
Judging from the investigation of the show "Want to Know the Truth", the culprit is undoubtedly invisible network violence, and the continuous network violence has ruined a young life.
When an avalanche occurs, not a single snowflake is innocent. Anyone who writes a malicious comment to Shirley should be held accountable.
She died suddenly, no! She was under the gaze of the people, slowly moving towards extinction.
Subsequent......
Shirley's death shook the Korean public so hard that her family couldn't believe it was true. Because although Shirley had a hard time, she never expressed despair to her family.
A month before Shirley's death, she wrote in her diary:
I want to be a person who brings warmth to everyone, I want to say thank you to everyone, whether I hate it or like it in the future, please please.
Written in the diary
We can imagine Shirley's mood at that time, even in the midst of people's accusations and insults, but she is still trying to become what everyone likes
Considering that Shirley's controversy before her death is relatively large, Shirley's aftermath is quietly carried out in the mourning of her family and friends, hoping that she can leave quietly.
Ironically, as soon as the news of Shelly's death was announced, major Korean media and artists expressed great regret for Shelly, and a large number of fans carried out various mourning activities.
Mourning activities
The Internet is full of praise for Shirley's beautiful side, and all her accusations and insults seem to be slowly understood and forgiven.
For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world was full of support and love for this 25-year-old girl, which was ironic.
Sometimes I can't help but wonder what is wrong with the world, when she is alive, she speaks evilly to each other, never sees anyone who supports her, and even if she is good to her after death, she can't feel it even if she gives her the best in the world.
Shirley
All she could feel at the last moment of her life was despair, pain, and helplessness!
After Shirley's death, a documentary of her interviews was discovered during her lifetime
Journalists and teachers, please love me a lot!
Audience friends, please love me a lot!
(Is this Shirley's distress signal?) ）
In fact, after digging deeper, I found that Shirley didn't seem to have done anything wrong, maybe she just wanted to live a little more freely.
Shirley's girlfriend has Hera live
Shirley's best girlfriend, Hora, cried a lot during a live broadcast after Shirley's death, and she said that she would live with Shirley's share.
Unfortunately, on November 24, 2019, not long after, Gu Ho-ra was found dead at his residence in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at the age of 28.
Gu hola died
Some people suspect that the successive deaths of Shirley and Gu Hora may be related to the Korean chaebols, but unfortunately there is no evidence, so so far it is only a suspicion.
Judging from Shirley's incident:
On the Internet, a casual word can save people or harm people, and the last straw that crushed the camel may also be because of a casual word.
Well, that's today's story, I'm Changfeng, we'll see you next time!
