Liu Zhuen, who is only 27 years old, was recently found by her family to have committed suicide, leaving a suicide note saying "Life is too difficult, thank you to all those who love me and the people I love." It also caused a shock in the entertainment industry at home and abroad.
As an actor, Liu Zhuen has participated in TV series such as "Big Forest" and "Chaoxian Survival", but he has been tepid, judging from the content of his suicide note, he obviously still yearns for his acting career and a better life, and he also has a deep reluctance to his relatives and friends. But in the end, he chose to die in the prime of life, which has to make people wonder whether they have received many force majeure effects from the outside world.
As expected, according to Liu Zhuen's family, he was forced by the company to participate in the chaebol liquor bureau before his death, which is obviously contrary to Liu Zhuen's ideal of simply wanting to be an actor, but under the liquidated damages of up to 1 billion won from the economic company and various force majeure, it is obviously not just that she can clean herself up if she wants to refuse.
In the Korean entertainment industry, where the local market is narrow and the involution is serious, those young and beautiful female artists who lack background are often exploited by brokerage companies, and they are easy to become the "playthings" of the upper chaebols, and even blatantly complete the "unspoken rules" with the "clear rules".
In recent years, it is not uncommon for Korean actresses to commit suicide because they are overwhelmed, and it has become a unique phenomenon in the Korean entertainment industry.
At the beginning of the 21st century, with the development of the Korean entertainment industry and the Korean Wave began to sweep across Asia, a large number of young and beautiful female artists joined the entertainment industry, which also set off a "suicide wave" of Korean female artists. In 2005, actor Lee Eun-joo committed suicide by leaving a suicide note at home, accusing "The current life is not a human life!", which began to arouse the attention of the outside world to the psychological problems of female artists, and according to the investigation, the reason behind Lee Eun-joo's suicide may be related to the fact that he was forced to shoot large-scale movies and caused depression during his lifetime.
In 2009, the suicide of actress Zhang Ziyan made the chaebol's control of the entertainment industry rise to a social issue that shocked the South Korean people.
According to Zhang Ziyan's complaint before her death, she was asked by the agency to sexually bribe bigwigs in the entertainment industry and business and politics for a long time, and her personality and body were insulted. Although Zhang Ziyan's death caused protests and dissatisfaction among the majority of South Korean people, during the police investigation, due to various force majeure, they only prosecuted the boss and agent of her company for insufficient evidence, and finally sentenced to one or two years in prison without pain, and the chaebol boss behind it is still at large.
In addition, according to news reports, as many as 60% of female celebrities in South Korea have been explicitly or implicitly offered sexual services. If the sex scandals in the entertainment industry in other countries are still in the stage of cover-up, the chaebol Korean entertainment industry directly moved this kind of thing to the table unscrupulously.
If the Korean female artists who committed suicide in the early days were mainly second- and third-tier artists like Zhang Ziyan, then in 2019, the suicide of Choi Xueli, a popular female artist in South Korea, caused another big shock.
As the face of the f(x) group highly praised by SM Company, Cui Xueli can be said to be a collection of thousands of favorites in the entertainment industry. However, the so-called glamorous is only in front of fans after all, in the eyes of the brokerage company and the chaebol behind it, no matter how popular the female star is, it is just the marionette and plaything of these bigwigs, there is no essential difference.
Many people speculate that Cui Xueli is trying to "ask for help" through these paintings, but unfortunately until Cui Xueli committed suicide, her behavior was only regarded as mentally abnormal by most people, and it was not until she died that she understood the indescribable meaning.
And shortly after Choi Xueli committed suicide, another popular female artist, Gu Hara, was also found to have committed suicide at home. At first, the cause of Goo Hara's death was only attributed to depression caused by domestic violence and emotional discomfort by the scumbag's ex, but as the situation further fermented, more people realized that Goo Hara might be another Cui Shirley.
In addition to those and female celebrities who committed suicide, more Korean female artists are obviously also on the verge of suicide. Some time ago, another female artist, Han Suxi, like Cui Xueli, posted paintings with a weird style and full of sexually suggestive elements on her social account.
Many netizens deduced that the painting contains a hint that "I am unrecognizable, living like an animal, being forced to have sex but resisting inability", and the characters in the painting are also suspected of alluding to the Samsung prince, Lee Jae-yong and the eldest son-in-law Im Woo-jae.
But in South Korea, no matter how much these weak female stars ask for help, it is difficult for public opinion to have any impact on the chaebol.
Over the years, whenever a sex scandal broke out in the Korean entertainment industry, no matter how much the people sympathetic to these female artists protested, it was all over in the end, and at most two scapegoats came out to take the blame. In recent years, the biggest blow to the sex scandal in the entertainment industry by South Korean officials is the case of the male artist Li Shengli involving transnational "pimping". But in the end, Li Shengli was also under the game and protection of various forces behind him, and was only used as a scapegoat and sentenced to a year and a half in prison.
It can be seen that for today's South Korea, it is difficult to solve all kinds of chaos in the entertainment industry by relying on their own internal strength alone, and there will inevitably be more female stars and artists who will be under personal control and abuse. When will they wait until "dawn"?
