Cui Xueli was interviewed and exposed before her death, talking about the secrets of the Korean entertainment industry, and was told that she was a product
On October 14, 2019, South Korean artist Choi Xueli committed suicide at home at the age of 25.
On November 13, 2023, Cui Xueli's interview video was exposed, talking about the inside story of the Korean entertainment industry.
She was ahead of her time and spoke openly for women. But why wait for her to die before everyone comes to love her and get to know her again?
Cui Shirley was born in 1994 and was sent to SM by her mother at the age of 11 for a four-year trainee career.
Four years later, she made her official debut as a member of the singing group f(x). She is the company's group pet and is also ridiculed as a chaebol princess.
At the company's anniversary, popular idols An Qixuan and Zheng Yunhao stood behind her as foils, and Li Xiuman stood beside her and helped her blow out candles.
The resources are so good that they are explosive, the advertisements are soft, and the first starring role in the idol romance drama "To the Beautiful You" has been well received.
won the "NEW STAR" award at the SBS Acting Awards for her first acting, and the chaebol appreciated her, and even spent a lot of money to let her shoot the movie "Pirates".
But who would have thought that Cui Xueli, whose career is booming and the stars are holding the moon, would ruin her career because of a love.
On August 19, 2014, Cui Shirley made public her relationship with Cui Zi (Jae Hao), who was 14 years older than her.
It was also this relationship that made her hit the cold palace by the company, the event was canceled, the advertisement was withdrawn, and the fans returned to the fans.
Even the f(x) group she is in is in which the company intends to give up. In the end, Cui Shirley chose to quit the f(x) group, and she was not surprisingly hidden by the company.
Cui Xueli, who is not an idol, transformed into an actor, but the transformation is not easy, and she can't even receive business activities.
And the relationship that everyone is not optimistic about ended after 2 years and 7 months of dating.
But as soon as she broke up, in just 2 months, she quickly dated Kim Minjun, the art director of a brand who was 11 years older, and broke up a month later.
Cui Xueli began to let go of herself, and the wind reviews fell again and again, coupled with the live broadcast running out, the "no bra" incident in the show, netizens began to spit on her.
23-year-old Cui Xueli was overwhelmed by online violence, was under great mental pressure, and gradually suffered from depression.
The day before her death, she was still filming commercials, and on the day of her death, she was absent from variety shows for "personal reasons".
Cui Xueli hanged herself at home, and the police found Cui Xueli's handwritten memo at the scene, and a new star fell.
Public opinion was in an uproar, and no one expected that the optimistic and cheerful girl in front of the screen would end her life in an extreme way.
Five years later, Cui Xueli's interview before her death was exposed, and everyone realized that her thinking was so advanced that everyone misunderstood her.
Choi Shirley talked about the Korean entertainment industry in the documentary, she said that when she first entered the entertainment industry, others kept telling her:
"You are a product, and you have to be the most beautiful streaming product for the public. ”
She has the persona given to her by the company, she has to be what everyone wants, she can't express her opinions, and she doesn't know how to speak out.
She doesn't have the right to make decisions about all of this, and she worries all the time that she will lose the value of her product.
In her words, they were all puppets, and no one cared if she was tired or not.
"I would constantly blame myself, and the only time I could feel in control was when I was making myself miserable, and the only thing I could control was self-blame and self-deprecation. ”
The high-intensity pressure made Cui Xueli lose herself, and only by constantly improving herself can she establish a personality.
Once she doesn't do well, she will be scolded in exchange, and for her, she doesn't dare to refute or speak out, and some only blame and belittle.
When the host asked her if she had ever thought that it was not her fault, but the problem of the entertainment industry itself.
Cui Shirley cried, she said she didn't think about it, she couldn't think like that, and she didn't have this choice, which was not allowed.
At that time, she already had thoughts of death. She would be curious about The Matrix, and would fantasize that if she didn't take the red pill and go on living, unaware, she might have had a happier life.
When it comes to the mental journey of her debut, she doesn't understand why men can discuss sex at will, and they can still be praised for speaking out.
And she is just doing what she wants to do on social media, but she is going to be ruthlessly cyberbullied.
"I do it because I want to, and my actions and consciousness are fundamentally the same as those who support feminism. ”
Equality between men and women is not to be said, the Korean entertainment industry is not as good as the Chinese entertainment industry. In China, an artist is a star, and in South Korea, a star is a lowly profession.
She speaks up for women, and even if she doesn't agree with some women's views, she will choose to support them, but in exchange for being accused of vulgarity and self-righteousness.
At the age of 11, many children are still in elementary school, and she has already started her career as a trainee. What is childhood and what is happiness?
Cui Shirley said that what she cares about most is f(x), which may not be understood, but when she loses a member of the group, she feels extremely lost.
It is not easy for anyone, and sisters will often encourage each other to grow together. To her, those members were her sisters, and she loved everyone.
It was all she had, but one day, she lost it. There is no team, no love, no self, only cyberbullying and accusations.
The depression accompanied her, getting worse and worse, and finally she chose to leave. Perhaps at that moment, she felt that death was salvation, and she was liberated.
Netizens couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw her interview, it turned out that she had been unhappy all along, and it turned out that celebrities were not all halos.
I just hope that she can live happily in another world, if there is a next life, she doesn't need to be in the spotlight, just be herself, simply happy.
