The 26-year-old girl was supposed to bathe in a good life, but fate did not favor her. Her name is Zhang Ziyan, and perhaps the most impressive thing about her is the image of the little sister she played in the TV series "Meteor Garden". She used to be a rising star in the Korean entertainment industry and could have become a star, but why did she finally decide to end her young life? It's a heartbreaking, thought-provoking story.
On March 7, 2009, Zhang Ziyan hanged herself, leaving behind a seven-page suicide note full of her handwriting, recording her life's painful experience and uncovering the shocking mystery that shocked the Korean people. What's going on, and why is it causing such shock in Korean society, even on the opposite side of the Korean chaebols?
In order to gain connections and resources, Jang Zi-yeon's boss, Kim Seung-hoon, uses his artists and women as chips, forcing them to sign contracts with high remuneration and unfair trades, and will be beaten and tortured if they are not careful. These seemingly glamorous female artists are privately seen as instruments of capital.
At first, Kim Seung-hoon regularly organized social gatherings, which Jang Ziyeon thought were just normal social activities. However, as time went on, the boss's demands became more and more excessive, from simply eating and drinking, to needing to talk and sleep with him. When she refused, she was thrown into a small dark room and beaten for hours. Zhang Ziyan felt isolated and did not dare to resist anymore.
One day, Zhang Ziyan was secretly sent to the place designated by Xin's father and son, asking her to strip naked and dance on the table. A father and son in their sixties insulted her at the same time and used various indescribable "props". As time went on, Kim Seung-hoon's demands became more and more excessive. Sometimes Zhang Ziyan has to receive more than a dozen people, and some guests have special habits, which cause her to be unable to walk normally for days at a time.
For the convenience of elites from all walks of life, Kim Seung-hoon even turned his agency into a private bar. In addition to Zhang Ziyan, there are other beautiful female stars who provide countless VIP services.
However, when the city gate caught fire, Zhang Ziyan originally thought that there would be dawn, but reality once again pushed her into the abyss. Kim Seung-hoon took all his anger out on her, and she couldn't withstand the pressure and humiliation again and again. This pure girl finally decides to end her life, perhaps thinking that this is the only way to escape the sea of suffering.
After Jang Ziyan's death, Lee Mi-sook was called a "toxic woman" but denied knowing Chang
Ziyan even gave an interview to the media with an evil smile. Although Zhang Ziyan left a thick suicide note and some people testified, it was eventually revealed to be forged due to insufficient evidence, resulting in the hasty closure of the case. Jang Ziyan's death exposed the corruption and ugliness of the South Korean entertainment industry, but the so-called "bigwigs" involved in the case are still at large and unharmed.
This story makes us think deeply about the dark side of the entertainment industry and power circles, and expose the hidden immoralities and shortcomings behind them. It also reminds us that we should step up our efforts to combat abuse of power and gender discrimination, protect the rights and interests of vulnerable groups, and ensure that everyone can pursue their dreams in a fair, safe and respectful environment.
Zhang Ziyan's death is a profound warning that we can no longer tolerate this ugly phenomenon. We must continue to fight for justice for those who are treated unfairly in entertainment and society, ensuring that they are no longer victims of power and money. May the deceased rest in peace and may society move towards a brighter and more just future.
