preface
There is such a saying in the Korean entertainment industry, "Surviving is Song Hye Kyo, but surviving is Zhang Ziyan." And this is also the current situation in the Korean entertainment industry.
If you want not to be controlled by the South Korean chaebol, unless you have a strong background, or you are a chaebol, and Song Hye Kyo can now achieve the top position, what unknown experiences have she had?
The tax evasion scandal was put to rest by political and business tycoons
In 2014, Song Hye Kyo was already the top female star in South Korea and the peak of her career, but at this time, the scandal of Song Hye Kyo evading taxes was exposed, and the amount was as high as 2.5 billion won.
South Korea cracked down harshly on tax evasion, and for a while Song Hye Kyo's reputation was discredited, and everyone accused Song Hye Kyo of not being able to abide by the law as a public figure.
Just when everyone thought that Song Hye Kyo was going to be cold, a political and business tycoon in South Korea came forward to settle the matter for Song Hye Kyo, not only helping her play round, but also helping her avoid punishment.
And why this big guy is willing to come forward to help Song Huiqiao, netizens have different opinions...
However, under the operation of the chaebol, Song Huiqiao directly took over a hit drama "Descendants of the Sun", which not only completely whitewashed Song Huiqiao, but also smoothly made everyone forget that she had evaded taxes through the power of capital.
We don't know exactly what kind of relationship Song Huiqiao has with these business bigwigs, but Song Huiqiao has been a cash cow of capital since she was a child.
"Yin Yang Contract"
Song Hye-kyo won the honor of champion in a modeling contest at the age of 15 due to her good looks, but what Song Hye-kyo didn't know was that this competition was just an event of the South Korean chaebols whose main purpose was to circle money.
Song Hye Kyo was invited to sign a contract with an entertainment company after winning the championship, and since then, Song Hye Kyo has become an object in the hands of the chaebols and a tool for making money.
If you want to refuse to work for the company, what awaits you is sky-high liquidated damages, which is impossible for a fledgling newcomer to take out.
Moreover, Song Huiqiao's family is not very rich, her parents divorced when she was 10 years old, and since then, Song Huiqiao has been dependent on her mother, and the poor mother and daughter have nothing.
Song Huiqiao in school has naturally become the target of bullying by her classmates because of her good looks, and in addition to giving Song Huiqiao all kinds of pranks, she will also create yellow rumors for her.
In that case, Song Hye Kyo signed a contract with an entertainment company, and debuting as a star after the company's packaging was her lifesaver, so she had to hold on firmly, even knowing that she would encounter many difficult things in the future.
Debuted as an actor
Song Huiqiao had the company's resources, and successfully starred in "Shunfeng Obstetrics and Gynecology", she successfully opened her popularity with this drama, not only won awards, but also had a large number of loyal fans.
Because she can make money, the company also treats her very favorably, and will not introduce her to others casually, and only people with very high status will "get" her.
Song Hye Kyo starred in "Blue Life and Death Love" when she was 19 years old, because the filming of this drama allowed her to meet actor Li Bingxian, who was a popular student at the time and was 9 years older than Song Hye Kyo, but these did not stop Li Bingxian from pursuing Song Hye Kyo.
Song Huiqiao soon fell under the fierce attack of Li Bingxian, so the relationship between the two outside the play also dared to be public.
The simple Song Hye Kyo was immersed in sweet love, and during that time, the media often took photos of Song Hye Kyo and Lee Bingxian kissing in public, but the relationship ended quickly, and the reason for the end was due to Lee Bingxian's scandal.
Lee Byung-hyun was revealed to have emotionally perverted behavior in 2005, and even caused the other party to be hurt while playing disgusting games with his partner, and it was later confirmed that Song Hye Kyo had been in the hospital for anorectal treatment.
Although the Song Hui Qiaotu team made public relations on this news, it was also affected because of this relationship, and Li Bingxian gradually faded out of the entertainment industry.
Song Hye Kyo and the popular idol Rain co-starred in "Full House" was loved by the audience, and the double ponytail shape of Han Ji Eun played by Song Hye Kyo in the play was also imitated by everyone for a while, and Song Hye Kyo also became a "national goddess" because of this drama.
Emotional gossip
At this time, Song Hye Kyo was rumored to have an affair with Rain, and Rain also publicly stated in an interview that Song Hye Kyo was his ideal type, but the relationship between the two was never recognized, and in 2009, Song Hye Kyo disclosed her relationship with Hyun Bin, which shocked everyone.
Until the explosion of "Descendants of the Sun", the two male and female protagonists of Song Hye Kyo and Song Jong-ki also became a pair of CPs that everyone stumbled, and what made fans even more excited was that the pair of screen CPs tied the knot and entered marriage.
At the wedding held by the two in 2017, you can also see Zhang Ziyi's figure, the happy love of the two, so that everyone thinks that they will be happy for a lifetime, but they announced their divorce two years later.
And the divorce of the two is very ugly, the person who was once the closest became an enemy for a while, and it is rumored on the Internet that the reason for the divorce of the two is that they both cheated, Song Jong-ki was first ambiguous with the makeup artist, and Song Hye Kyo was very angry after learning about it, so he was with Park Bojian.
Some people also said that because Song Hye Kyo used to be the "plaything" of the chaebols, he suffered from some diseases and was disliked by Song Jong-ki, so the two would divorce.
Zhang Ziyan committed suicide
"Dark Glory" broadcast in 2022 made Song Huiqiao popular again, and the broadcast of this drama made Song Huiqiao a hot search term again, and also called this the second spring of Song Huiqiao's career.
Now Song Hye Kyo has been in the entertainment area for 25 years, she has survived that difficult time, but there are many artists in the Korean entertainment industry who are not as lucky as Song Hye Kyo, or worse than her.
Zhang Ziyan chose to commit suicide because she could not withstand the chaebol's play, writing in her suicide note that she was forced to sleep with thirty people before her death.
Even on the death day of her parents, she was not allowed to visit her, but was sent to a chaebol's bed, where she wrote in her suicide note that she was forced to provide sexual services more than a hundred times over a four-year period.
And there was also a time when he was drugged and played by four people at the same time, and if he was unlucky enough to meet someone with special habits, his body would be tortured all over his body.
Some media once broke the news that Zhang Ziyan had served the father and son of a consortium, and they physically tortured Zhang Ziyan with wine bottles, clubs and other items.
Zhang Ziyan wanted to escape many times, but the huge compensation above her head was enough to kill her, and she had no choice but to be a "plaything".
She once said that she was no different from the escort and did not have any dignity, so she finally couldn't bear to end her life.
epilogue
Zhang Ziyan is not as lucky as Song Huiqiao, not only Zhang Ziyan, in ten years, more than 11 celebrities committed suicide to end their lives, and the vast majority of them were women.
Not every actress can survive like Song Huiqiao.
