I believe that many friends who pay attention to Korean movies almost blurted out a WTF sentence like Tao when they first saw the news of Liu Yaren's drug use.
Liu Yaren, drug addict, ???
The whole peach is a state of complete shock of the brain, until these days, Liu Yaren's positive four drugs are exposed one by one, namely marijuana, propofol, cocaine and K powder, and the hearts of our fans are gradually cooling.
In particular, propofol, known as "milk needle", is said to have been injected 73 times last year, an average of 6 injections per month, with a total injection volume of 4,400 milliliters.
4400ml is slightly less than this large bottle of mineral water, in any case, Liu Yaren's injection times and injection amount are too much, people are water-injected pork, more frequent than many netizens drink milk tea.
Liu Yaren, the most promising young actor in Zhongwu Road, paid by mistake after all.
To talk about Liu Yaren before breaking the news, it was unlimited scenery and a great future.
Among the four young students of Chungmuro in the Korean film industry (Liu Ah-jin, Kim so-hyun, Song Joong-ki, Lee Di-hoon), Liu Yaren is the earliest and only one who won both the Korean Film Blue Dragon Award actor and the Baeksang Award TV emperor, the absolute benchmark and standard-bearer among Korean post-85 actors, and the director Li Han who has worked with him once said: He may become the best actor in our country in the future.
Liu Yaren won the Korean Film Blue Dragon Award for the movie "Silent"
It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Yaren carries a part of the future of Korean films, and if he can maintain his creative state, his future achievements and status may succeed Song Kang-ho.
But all this was ruined by drugs.
Liu Yaren was suspected of drug use and was investigated by the police, and among the four positive drugs in the body, the most worthy of mention was propofol.
Propofol, commonly known as milk injections, is also the most popular drug among Korean drug-related artists, Ha Jung-woo, Park Shi-yeon, Jang Mi-in-ae, etc. have all been punished for abusing milk needles, not only star artists, even the daughter of the Samsung Foundation Lee Fu-jin has also been suspected of excessive use of milk needles.
Ha Jung-woo was interviewed by the media after appearing in court
Milk injection is an anesthetic that works quickly, can make people fall asleep within one minute, and can return to normal in only eight minutes after anesthesia, without causing adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting.
Some people use it to relieve symptoms such as pain, insomnia, anxiety, etc., and it has irresistible advantages over sleeping pills - it can bring pleasure and even sexual excitement.
In 2011, South Korea defined propofol as a psychotropic drug, and its use was strictly prohibited except for medical purposes, which also laid the seeds for the epidemic of propofol in Korean cosmetic hospitals.
Propofol has become a commonly used anesthetic in Korean plastic surgery hospitals, plastic surgery hospitals will give people injections when doing small operations such as skinboosters, the threshold is low, not particularly expensive, very easy to obtain.
Regarding the reasons for being involved in drugs, Liu Yarenfang responded: It is because of needle phobia, so sleep anesthesia is required, which is all for medical purposes.
Needle phobia is pure when you hear it, and if you have needle phobia, you still go to the plastic surgery hospital 6 times a month for anesthetics, isn't that unpleasant for yourself?
Just like people who faint blood rush to the hospital every day to see people draw blood, and those with claustrophobia drill into small rooms every day, this is at most deceiving fans.
But Liu Yaren's second half of "sleep anesthesia" is not so unreasonable, he does have sleep anxiety.
In 2020, in the variety show "I Live Alone", he spent a lot of time a day sleeping, sleeping in the morning, sunbathing after waking up, and going to class in the afternoon, but he still had to pause and trance many times in his daily life.
Liu Yaren was followed by the program team to participate in the sports course "Alexander Technique", which is an exercise that can relieve physical pain, insomnia and anxiety, and he himself slept several times during the exercise.
SBS NEWS INTERVIEWED A WHISTLEBLOWER WHO WORKS IN A PLASTIC SURGERY HOSPITAL, AND SHE REVEALED THAT SHE HAD SEEN LIU'S IRENE INJECTED WITH PROPOFOL IN 2018. She also said that other artists have told her to sleep for hours and continue to inject if she wakes up.
They take drugs, probably really to get a good night's sleep.
Sounds outrageous, right, but it may be.
Actress Park Shi-yeon, who was punished for using milk injections, admitted that she experienced severe pain, severe sleep disturbances and depression at the same time for a long time.
He once played the Three Madonna in "Pauline Lantern"
Amazingly, Ha Jung-woo, the actor of Chungmuro who also ruined his future because of milk needles, also explained that he abused drugs because of the treatment of skin diseases and insomnia.
These stars contaminated with milk needles have a characteristic, that is, they do not sleep well.
Or in the variety show "I Live Alone", Sung Hoon shows how a Korean artist loses sleep:
He forced himself to adjust his routine and be sure to go to bed between twelve o'clock and one o'clock. Turn off the lights at eleven o'clock at night and go to bed, and after struggling for half an hour, it is still difficult to fall asleep, so I pick up my mobile phone in hesitation.
After a while, Chengxun opened a live broadcast on Instagram, chatting with fans who had not slept yet, and it was broadcast live for 40 minutes, and sleepiness slowly came up.
After turning off the live broadcast, I slept for less than two minutes, then played with my mobile phone until half past two in the middle of the night.
At this time, he was going to sleep, and the mosquito entered the room, because the family had a dog and could not take medicine, Cheng Xun fought with a mosquito with his bare hands for an hour.
Mosquito hunting began at half past two in the morning
After killing the mosquitoes, he was finally exhausted and really fell asleep near four o'clock.
Not only Sung Hoon has to fight insomnia, but many Korean stars have sleep disorders.
IU Li Zhien disclosed in an interview that he has suffered from sleep disorders since he was 20 years old, and only one night in three nights can sleep well. She said that she was very busy at work after becoming popular, and her body naturally began to resist deep sleep.
Goo Hara was once exposed to suicide by taking too many sleeping pills, and the staff around her explained that she was only admitted to the hospital for treatment because of sleep disorders, and later news came out that she suffered from depression and committed suicide at home.
Former AOA member Kwon Min-a has insomnia so severe that she hopes that netizens will recommend a psychiatric hospital to her.
I used to wonder, when can I get a restful night's sleep without worry?
Are there recommended psychiatrists near Dongtan and Rishan who have done well in negotiations and given accurate medicines? Friends who have been treated in a nearby psychiatric department, please recommend it.
There are many celebrities who suffer from sleep disorders and need to swallow sleeping pills to help them sleep, there are many news that they have taken overdoses of sleeping pills and are sent to the hospital, and there are also many stars who commit suicide because of insomnia and depression.
Sleeping pills to aid sleep are commonplace for Koreans, and sleeping pill addiction is a national-level epidemic disease in South Korea, and about 100,000 people are addicted to sleeping pills.
Dr. Lee Ji-hyun, an expert at the Gangnam Sleep Clinic in Seoul, said she often receives patients who swallow 20 sleeping pills a night.
Instead of swallowing sleeping pills at home until a suicide scandal comes out, celebrities seem to be more willing to go to plastic surgery hospitals to "sleep painless", which is the game of the rich. At least the doctor is watching when you go to the hospital for anesthesia, and the plastic surgery hospital has an obligation to keep patient information confidential.
As for the reasons why these stars do not sleep well, it is also very simple: to maintain their figure, there is also a high work load, physical and mental pressure; Unstable work, worry about food and clothing; There is also the online violence to bear after becoming famous and all kinds of gossip reporters to spy on the privacy life of celebrities.
The first is very easy to understand, in the Korean entertainment industry to be an idol, body management is the basic literacy, the trainees before their debut are still in the development period, because of long-term heavy practice, sleep time is compressed to only about four hours, and in order to maintain the figure can not eat too much.
Eat less during the day, sleep poorly at night, and work hard to sing and dance after getting up, and those who can stick to it are ruthless, not to mention the roll king who wants to become famous as soon as possible.
Liu Yaren is one of the roll kings, he said that he would not do things slowly before the fire, nor would he rest, he wanted to finish (work) quickly, become famous quickly, be recognized early, want to harvest earlier than others, and have many things he wanted to do at a young age.
The third is better understood, Korean netizens are famous for their mouths, countless stars have died due to privacy and online violence, and in the 14 years from 2005 to 2019, more than 30 artists committed suicide, including Choi Zhenjin (Shirley), who committed suicide in 2019.
In South Korea, when entertainers are considered high-risk occupations, at least 30% of artists have had suicidal thoughts once.
As for the second point, some people may be puzzled, will a big star of Liu Yaren's level also feel confused about his future and worry about food and clothing?
In "I Live Alone", Liu Yaren turned on the computer after getting up, and began to search by himself after browsing the news, searching three times a day in the morning, noon and evening.
In this issue of "I Alone", his self-search still has good results, but he still becomes quite emotional at night because of the rain outside the window.
In 2017, he was the second place in South Korea's "bad critic controversial artist", the first was T.O.P, who confirmed that he smoked marijuana, and Liu Yaren was very difficult with netizens because of women's rights and military service.
Imagine that during this period of time when his public opinion was extremely bad, he would still search himself three times a day and actively absorb all kinds of malicious ideas on the Internet. Will Liu Yaren stay up until four o'clock like Chengxun, get up during the day and continue to receive sunbathing, Alexander techniques to assist sleep...
Actor Liu Yaren, who was able to quickly enter the role because of his sensitivity, received high-intensity exposure, endured the expectations of seniors and fans in the film and television industry, but also suffered several times the pressure and anxiety, and he was also afraid that the media wind would turn again and again, the directors would no longer recognize him, and the source of income would be cut off.
Netizens once advised him not to interfere in politics, and his answer was: "Is it true that artists are posting selfies on Twitter?" I am just an ordinary person who is dragged by anxiety, worried about my food and clothing, worried about making money, hoping for a happy life, having my own beautiful dreams, using my mobile phone to surf the Internet from time to time to follow current affairs news or occasionally imagining my ideals. ”
But in any case, drug use is a way to solve the wrong sleep disorder, he is so sensitive, he should not be contaminated with drugs, and he should know the devastating blow of drugs to his acting career.
Needless to say, the bad comments of netizens and the media are not to say, the "Hell Minister 2" originally scheduled to star him has confirmed that Liu Yaren got off the car and changed the starring role. Liu Yaren will also face the joint ban of major South Korean TV stations in the future, and those well-known directors who can take him into the world film industry may no longer favor him.
The diary he wrote in the June 2020 issue of "I Live Alone" is a perfect epilogue for himself:
There is only one body, but why do you need so many things?
The feet are obviously on the ground, but why do you need such a high place?
