Preamble:
If the idol is disqualified, who will be responsible?
We trusted them so much that we lifted them up to the altar.
But they are secretly doing illegal things, living up to our support and expectations.
The aura of idols is nothing more than a thin layer of gold ornaments, which cannot hide the deviation of their hearts.
When idols fall into dust, how do we deal with the fact that our hearts are broken, and what responsibility do they have to bear for hurting the hearts of countless fans?
An unbearable blow
In 2011, Kwon Zhilong was suspected of smoking marijuana in Japan, and the news was like a bolt from the blue, knocking the hearts of countless fans into the ice cave.
Kwon Zhilong, born in 1988, is a South Korean singer, actor and producer.
As one of the representative artists of Hallyu culture, he has amassed a large number of fans with his outstanding musical talent and varied musical style.
His fans are not only limited to South Korea, but also spread overseas, and his influence is extremely far-reaching.
Who would have thought that such an artist would be contaminated with drugs.
Under his bright idol aura, he hides secrets that are unacceptable.
"It's not the first time I've faced the Kwon Zhilong scandal, but this time it was so disappointing.
Miss Li, a veteran fan, said, "What a terrible thing drugs are for an artist, which can seriously affect their judgment, perseverance and even physical health." ”
"If a powerful music talent like Quan Zhilong becomes addicted to drugs, the consequences will be unimaginable.
This could mean the end of his illustrious career.
Music critic Mr. Hung analyzed.
For Quan Zhilong, whose dignified image has always been favored, this is undoubtedly a stain.
His fans had a hard time accepting this fact for a while.
The idol who is high up can also have such an unbearable side, this contrast is too strong and painful.
However, the most distressing thing is that this is only the beginning.
If the turmoil rises again, who will be responsible
In 2023, a number of first-line stars suspected of drug abuse scandals have repeatedly broken out in the Korean entertainment industry.
Among them is Quan Zhilong himself.
At the end of October, Quan Zhilong was once again exposed by the media as suspected of drug use.
He was arrested for marijuana and seems to have failed to learn his lesson.
The Incheon police immediately opened a case against him.
This is the second time Kwon Zhilong has been exposed to drugs.
Such frequent exposure of drug abuse scandals, even if he himself denies it, is enough to prove the seriousness of the problem.
Unexpectedly, Quan Zhilong did not learn from the lessons of 2011 and embarked on this road of no return again.
Former employees of Kwon's agency said they had lost faith in him.
And just when Quan Zhilong was in a predicament, the drug abuse scandal was also exposed, as well as the national actor Liu Yaren.
Yoo Ah-in can be said to be an evergreen tree in the Korean film industry.
His influence was enormous, and his work was widely acclaimed.
No one could have imagined that he would also become addicted to drugs.
Yoo Ah-in and Kwon Ji-ryong can be said to be the two most popular artists in South Korea.
Their depravity has undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Korean entertainment industry and the majority of fans.
"Idols are also human beings, human nature. ”
"How can they live up to the trust and support of the public?"
When the idol altar collapses in the smoke and dust, the heart of every fan is broken and painful.
They are high up and radiant, but they also have such an unbearable side.
The dreams and hopes we want to believe in are shattered.
The results of the investigation are in, and the heartbreak continues
Kwon Chee-lung denied the decision to take drugs and voluntarily cooperated with the police in conducting a hair test.
Eventually, the test report was negative.
This means that Kwon Zhilong has successfully escaped from this drug abuse investigation.
However, fans still have a hard time calming down.
Because there are so many unexplained signs -
Kwon Zhilong's bizarre behavior when he appeared in public was clearly a symptom of a drug reaction.
This makes one wonder if he used some method to deceive the detection.
"I can no longer trust Kwon Ji-ryong as much as I used to.
Miss Hong, a fan, said.
Indeed, Kwon Zhilong's previous symptoms have left a shadow in the hearts of fans.
They began to question Kwon Ji-ryong, preferring to believe in their own eyes rather than their idols.
Unlike Kwon Chi-long, Liu Yaren's drug abuse case was confirmed to be true.
He has been restricted from leaving the country, and his career prospects are worrying.
What's even more distressing is that Li Shanjun, who was also exposed to drug abuse, chose to commit suicide in this turmoil.
Lee Sun-gyun was originally a powerful actor, and his works were widely acclaimed.
His suicide is directly reminiscent of the cruelty and helplessness of this circle.
"Lee Sun-kyun is such an excellent actor and such a warm person, he should not have gone to a dead end.
This represents that the circle is driving people to a dead end.
Film critic Mr. Du said.
When the fates of the three people are different, we see more than just their personal gains and losses.
Behind them, there is the distorted values of this circle, the heavy problem of the whole environment.
How do we deal with the root of all this?
Paralysize yourself and end up paying a terrible price
Looking back at Kwon Zhilong's first drug use in 2011, we can find some clues.
Kwon Zhilong admitted that after the performance in Japan, he came into contact with the marijuana cigarette in a nightclub, which led to the trick.
It can be seen from this that the improper combination of work pressure and entertainment life in the entertainment industry made Quan Zhilong gradually lose himself.
In the early days of his fame, Kwon Zhilong was known for his rebellious personality.
His desire to stand out, coupled with his rebellion against rules and ethics, makes him more likely to go down the wrong path.
"In fact, a long time ago, I discovered the rebellious and ruffian spirit in Quan Zhilong's character.
Music critic Mr. Li analyzed, "This is also reflected in his works. ”
Stimulated by money and fame, Kwon Zhilong became paralyzed and mistook drug use for a good way to release stress and seek thrills.
On this road, there are all kinds of hidden dangers.
And when exhaustion and stress accumulate to a certain level, Kwon is more likely to rely on drugs for solace.
This is undoubtedly the poison of the high-pressure environment of the entertainment industry.
"In fact, in this circle, many outstanding artists are facing such a dilemma.
"The undue influence of the environment has led them down the wrong path under high pressure." ”
Indeed, this circumstance and the paralyzed ego have pushed them to seek redemption from drugs.
And the end of this road is the abyss.
Lee Sun-kyun's choice is proof of this.
We must face up to this harsh reality.
Review the environment and build a green circle
When idols fall one after another, the problems of this circle can no longer be hidden.
We must face up to the distortion of the entire environment and ecology, and work hard to create a more sunny cultural atmosphere.
"The pressure on its realization is increasing in the entire Korean entertainment environment, and the supervision is also increasing.
Industry insiders pointed out.
Indeed, in recent years, South Korea's crackdown on artists' illegal behavior has been intensifying.
However, regulation alone is not enough, the root of the problem lies in the environment.
We need to do more culturally to influence everyone in the circle with the right values.
With a cultural environment full of positive energy, every artist and fan is touched.
Idols are also human beings, and they will also have weaknesses and confusion.
We must not simply resent, but rather give understanding, encouragement, and support.
This can have a profound impact on their growth.
Only in this way can the Korean entertainment industry truly glow with green vitality.
Those idols who have fallen will also get back up in the sun.
Epilogue:
For Quan Zhilong himself, we must also put aside our grievances and give encouragement.
After all, Kwon Zhilong has been cleared of accusations of suspected drug use.
At the same time, he also switched to a new agency and started a new life.
On January 5, Quan Zhilong appeared at the airport, preparing to fly to the United States to participate in a science and technology exhibition.
This is the first appearance after the turmoil.
This means that Quan Zhilong is regrouping and starting anew.
Industry insiders analyzed.
Indeed, this is a good sign for Kwon Zhilong's turning the page.
As fans, we deserve encouragement and support.
This is not only for Quan Zhilong personally, but also for the atmosphere of this circle and even the entire environment.
We need to influence every person and infect every soul with a positive mindset.
Kwon also deserves to be given a chance again.
His musical talent has brought so much joy to everyone, and we can't leave him alone.
Let's join hands and work together.
I believe that under the influence of an environment full of love and positive energy, Quan Zhilong and more idols can regain their dreams and walk on Yangguan Avenue.
