Recently, South Korean actor Jin Xuanhu was exposed by his ex-girlfriend, in a long article, the woman denounced Jin Xuanhu for her own future, after forcing him to have an abortion, but proposed to break up and other scum.
Then Jin Xuanhu came out to apologize and got out of the ongoing variety show "Two Days and One Night".
But today this matter is suspected of reversing, according to relevant insiders revealed that this matter was completely provoked by The Jin Xuanhu Brokerage Company, because Jin Xuanhu intended to jump ship, so the brokerage company found the woman and tried to force her to stay in the company to continue working by smearing Jin Xuanhu.
When it comes to the dark side of the Korean entertainment industry, including incidents such as Zhang Ziyan's suicide, it is inseparable from the dark operation of Korean brokerage companies.
Let's take a closer look:
01: "Videotape" that makes female artists timid
According to South Korean media reports, the number of reserve students in the Korean entertainment industry has exceeded 1 million, but the number of people who can actually officially sign contracts with brokerage companies is less than 2,000, that is to say, the proportion of competition has reached 0.1%, far exceeding the admission ratio of the college entrance examination.
In this fierce competitive environment, many newcomers have to accept the harsh conditions offered by the agency in order to enter the entertainment industry, not only there is no income guarantee, but some small companies will shoot "video tapes" for them in the early days and even in order to better control female artists.
Once these female celebrities want to leave the company in the future, the company will take these images as a condition for negotiation, and if they do not obey, they will disclose the video content and destroy them at all costs.
Actor Wu Xianqing, who became popular with works such as "The Wang Family" and "Highkick Through the Roof", was banned for nearly a decade because of "video tapes" in his early years.
In 1991, Wu Xianqing, who suppressed Gao Xianzhen and won the first place in the beauty pageant, entered the entertainment circle smoothly.
But like many female celebrities, she was forced to take a private video by her agent.
In 1998, when Wu Xianqing proposed to terminate the contract peacefully, the brokerage company saw that the cash cow was gone, so it immediately published a content called "Wu's videotape" on the Internet.
Although Wu Xianqing vigorously defended, she was still banned, and without a job, she experienced unfortunate encounters such as "cheating marriage", and after a full decade of silence, she bravely made a comeback as a single mother.
Similarly, Xian Suyuan, who is married to Chen Hua, who is 19 years younger, has also suffered from "video tapes".
Because of the rush to transform, Xian Suyuan also wants to get rid of the control of the former brokerage company.
Not long after, a Miss H video scandal made headlines in the major media, and the public pointed the finger at Xian Suyuan.
Xian Suyuan, who is also a vulnerable group, is unable to defend herself and has to fade out of the entertainment circle.
In addition, Bai Zhiying and other stars have also been in trouble because of "video tapes", and it has to be said that "video tapes" are the nightmares of early female stars.
02: High termination clause
The Korean entertainment industry not only has the reputation of "star-making factory", but also can be called the grave of stars.
This year alone, there are young actors such as Song Youting who have embarked on a dead end.
Perhaps many netizens are curious, why do these stars prefer to commit suicide rather than quit the entertainment industry?
That's because it's hard to get into the Korean entertainment industry, and it's even harder to quit.
In addition to some large companies have a perfect new talent training system, the general small company will exploit the artist's income and share, and some clothing fees and training fees are also fully apportioned to the artists, which causes many stars to not only make money in the years after their debut, but also to repay various expenses to the company.
It is not easy to terminate a lawsuit with the company, because the termination fee alone is a sky-high price. Larger entertainment companies are relatively better paid, if you sign a small entertainment company, then this paper contract may be equivalent to a deed of sale.
In his interview show, South Korean artist Yu Hyuk revealed that he had been beaten by his agent several times, causing seven concussions in a year.
Cui Minyong, an actor who became popular because of the role of Li Minyong, the uncle of "Funny Family", has no drama to shoot for ten years because of the dispute with the agency company.
Until these two years, it has returned to the entertainment circle through variety shows such as the Korean version of "The Masked Singer King", but it is still not easy to take over the drama.
And Hui Jing Pu HaiZhen in "You from the Stars" is also often deducted by the company and proposes a contract.
Unexpectedly, the brokerage company was embarrassed and angry, and poured all kinds of dirty water on Park Hae-jin, resulting in unsmooth follow-up development.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Jin Xuanhu was retaliated against by the company because of the termination of the contract with the company.
Now, the succession of suicides in the Korean entertainment industry has also made all sectors of society question the "rules" of this circle, but in the entertainment industry, which is seriously involved, even if many stars are treated unfairly, most of them can only swallow their anger and seek perfection.
