Another Korean actress committed suicide.
On August 29, 2022, the brother of South Korean actress Yoo Joo Eun posted a picture of a suicide note on social media platforms, confirming that her sister, who was only 27 years old, had passed away.
"I was so eager to act, it was the whole of my life, but it wasn't easy."
In the suicide note, Liu Zhuen expressed her love for acting, however, she was 27 years old, the golden age of most actors, and bid farewell to everything she loved in this decisive way.
In the Korean entertainment industry, suicide is a common word, from 26-year-old Zhang Ziyan, to 28-year-old Gu Hela, to 26-year-old Song Youting...
The sudden withering of life is shocking.
The protagonist of today's story is a Korean actress who ended her life in an extreme way, and her name is Choi Shirley.
About her death, it seems to have become a shadow in cyberspace, and with the passage of time, it has become more and more confusing.
Sudden death
On the afternoon of October 14, 2019, South Korean police confirmed the death of artist Choi Shirley, the cause of death was hanging herself on a light in the room on the second floor of her home.
Only 25 years old, and was once a member of the popular girl group f(x), even the day before, still shooting advertisements, such Cui Shirley suddenly committed suicide, not even a suicide note was left, around her death, countless people began to be curious about the cause of her death.
Her social platforms, past interviews and other materials, and even relationships with colleagues are like a ruin, and everyone is trying to dig out treasures from it.
In 2015, due to the endless scandals, Sherry Decided to quit the group f(x), however, this choice did not make her career quieter.
In 2018, in a South Korean show, Choi Shirley shared those pasts for the first time.
"I've been working since I was very young, I was under a lot of pressure and I was constantly scared. I do what others ask me to do, but I don't know why. At some point I began to realize: Why am I doing this? I guess those clothes didn't suit me. ”
For Cui Shirley, who began to break into the entertainment industry at the age of 11, her life was arranged from the beginning, and when there was a little doubt, all the glamorous beauty of the past would collapse.
"I don't see the future, I don't know what will happen in the future, it seems like I've been busy defending myself... Even if you say you're tired, no one can listen, as if you're alone in the world. ”
When Cui Shirley talked about her loneliness and helplessness, she did not get any sympathy.
The network is a backward attack sound, "selling misery", "Bo sympathy", "selfish", "not thinking about other teammates"...
Cui Shirley's little loneliness was quickly drowned in a huge public opinion, and even, because of this, she was on the "Korean Anger List" and became one of the most hated female artists in South Korean netizens.
"She came home that day without saying a word." Cui Shirley's friend said after the incident, "I was with her that day, and she was in a terrible mood, but none of us spoke. ”
But for Cui Shirley, in the wave of public opinion, having a piece of silence may be the only luxury she has in life.
"She's crazy"
Probably in order to rebel against the life that had been planned by others, Cui Shirley after leaving the group was contrary to the pure and lovely image that the company had created for her before.
In 2016, Sherry Choi starred in a movie, Real.
This is a restrictive film, and Cui Shirley in the film not only has a variety of large-scale scenes, but also nude shots.
In conservative South Korea, such a Choi Shirley is naturally unacceptable, and along with people's anger, there are all kinds of negative news about her.
In the face of netizens' criticism, Cui Shirley did not give in, in a variety show, she said: "There are steel rings in the underwear, and if you don't wear it well, it will cause indigestion, I hope that everyone can relax their mentality and stop having any prejudice against this matter." ”
She also believes that underwear, like earrings, is just ornaments, and it is her personal right to wear and not to wear.
Such a view of personality is unacceptable to most South Koreans.
Is the real self wrong?
On Cui Shirley's social platform, there began to appear more and more sexy photos, accompanied by more insults.
Due to the deformed growth environment, Cui Shirley did not learn how to survive in the real world, and she was overwhelmed by the negative emotions transmitted by netizens, and her mental condition deteriorated.
Cui Shirley was sick.
Depression, the most common disease in the entertainment industry.
Her social platform became the only channel she knew of for help.
Dolls with their heads and limbs twisted off, photographs of blood at the corners of their mouths, paintings of unknown significance...
Even in a live broadcast, she first said "hello" to the fans, stared at the screen after saying it, did not say a word, and suddenly bit her thumb and asked everyone, "What are you doing?" Subsequently, he stared at the screen in silence, gradually breaking down emotionally and tearfully.
After this time, she sent a picture with the text "What you give, you will get, I have loved others, I have also given pain, I have been loved by others, I have been hurt." ”
Under this picture, Cui Shirley's caption is: "I hope to live a life with only love." ”
But, presumably, Cui Shirley's sadness is probably that she can only pray helplessly, like a video she posted, the video is about a live eel struggling in the oven, and the voice is her "save me".
At this time, Cui Shirley, like the eel in the video, is struggling desperately.
She was crazy.
All of Cui Shirley's struggles and fears are like an inferior movie with a bad plot to the public, and after enjoying the content of the hunt, she is only exchanged for these three words.
"Please love me a little"
2019 was a turbulent year for the Korean entertainment industry.
First, the Lee Shengli incident, from nightclub beatings to transnational sex transactions, as more and more people were involved, gradually became a big storm that seemed to involve the entire Korean entertainment industry.
However, lee was acquitted when everyone was eagerly awaiting the dark side of the South Korean entertainment industry for decades because of this incident.
Desperate South Koreans took to the streets under the slogan of re-investigating the Zhang Ziyan incident, demanding a complete clean-up of the dark side of the entertainment industry.
Zhang Ziyan, who hanged herself in 2009, exposed the truth about the Korean entertainment industry at the cost of her life.
In the 50-page suicide note, Zhang Ziyan accused the brokerage company of forcing her to sleep with her hundreds of times, and even once she resisted, she faced severe beatings and abuse, even if Zhang Ziyan carefully listed the list of various corporate executives and media executives in the suicide note, and finally closed the case, no one was punished by law, and even those witnesses who spoke for her had to flee.
While the public was speaking out for Zhang Ziyan, Cui Shirley was facing another reality.
She is still a regular on hot searches, with strange photos of her posted on public platforms, commenting and speculating.
Even through the Zhang Ziyan incident, there are more and more rumors about her being asked to sleep with the agency.
"Audience, please love me a little, reporters, please love me."
And the only thing that treated her well was death.
In 2019, when countless people were desperate for the Li Shengli incident, and when the Zhang Ziyan incident was still fruitless, 25-year-old Cui Shirley chose to leave.
Unlike her predecessor Zhang Ziyan, Cui Shirley did not leave any suicide note, it seems that she simply wanted to leave this world.
And her death has also made an Internet carnival.
Thinking that she committed suicide because of the Internet riot, believing that she was a victim of the Korean chaebol, under the collision of various views, the bizarre network, in a grand and noisy way, drew an end to her death.
In Osamu Dazai's "Human Disqualification", there is a passage that has been pleasing the people around me since I was a child, and this is my last courtship to human beings.
And Cui Shirley, who has been educated and trained since childhood and produced by the assembly line of the Korean entertainment industry, when she discovers that her life is only "Truman's world", when she tries to love the world with her true self, she is only greeted by the beautiful anger of destroying the false beauty with her own hands.
In the Korean entertainment industry, Cui Shirley is a victim, liu Ju'en is also a victim, and like the still unresolved Li Shengli and Zhang Ziyan incidents, this falsehood is bound to swallow countless innocent lives.
