October 14
Cui Shirley, who is only 25 years old, hanged herself at home
This little princess who used to be much loved at SM
Eventually, under the scorn and disgust of the world
Personally ended his life
Ironically
When she was alive, physical threats and personal abuse were endless
After she left, the whole world rose up
Those who had been spitting on her two days before
They began to remember her
Even more unexpected
Cui Shirley died only 40 days later
Gu Hola, one of her true friends, also committed suicide
So far, the Korean showbiz industry has been 10 years
Suicide stars have reached a staggering 37
Why did Korean artists commit suicide one after another?
What exactly is driving them to the brink of extinction?
Why do people on the Internet suddenly "turn back"?
Let's talk about it today
Manipulated by the forces behind the scenes
The Korean entertainment industry is full of oppression, sexual assault and death
Click to watch the video: The Fate of Korean Female Stars
1998 To invigorate the national economy
South Korea formally proposed the national strategy of "building a country through culture"
Make every effort to support the development of the national entertainment industry
With the support of the State
A process-oriented star-making movement begins
The so-called "Korean Wave" turned out to be a reality
And radiate to the whole of Asia and the whole world
Yet under the flamboyant mantle of the Korean entertainment industry
It's actually a sweatshop full of sex trade and oppression
Artists are popular online goods
Agree to accept standardized sanding
It is made into products that meet different users in batches
In order to make these "goods" attractive to customers
Brokerage firms will label them with a variety of people
One who likes to be cold is Wu Shixun
Like the domineering power of the dragon
Like sexy there is Hyunya
No matter what kind of star you like
Korean brokerage firms can offer the corresponding types
You might think that's their sense of authenticity
But often their personalities are very different from those of others
To make these stars the perfect commodity
All a brokerage company has to do is depersonalize
Artists have to fit the person perfectly at all times
If you refuse to obey the human designation, you will be punished
The Cui Shirley we mentioned at the beginning is a typical example
In her early years, Shirley showed herself as a well-behaved figure of "peach on earth"
But when she became the top star in the entertainment industry
Chose to tear open the "pure goddess" of the persona
Let go of the ego and the time when his teenage predecessors sought true love
The audience was disappointed that the agency felt betrayed
And so they banded together and went on a crusade against Shirley
For a time, the accusations were overwhelming
Scolding her slut, there was an endless stream of words of humiliation for her personality
To cater to the anger of the people
Brokerage companies have left it unchecked and even added fuel to the fire
Eventually, Cui Shirley's depression became more and more severe
Hanged himself at home
Some people say that the star is honestly working in the company
Flying with the company Huang Tengda is always OK
I'm sorry, I really can't
You think celebrities and agencies are mutually beneficial relationships
In fact, celebrities are nothing more than cash cows for brokerage companies
When the star is popular, the company will frantically give the artist a notice
I would like to let the artist make money for themselves 24 hours a day
Want to go? Let's pay the sky-high redemption fee first
Han Geng must have known many people
He was a boy band of SM Corporation
A member of Super junior
According to his own account
After his own popularity
SM became his tailor-made set of "exclusive contracts"
1. The artist must complete the entire itinerary
If it is not completed, the company will claim 5 million won from him
2. Album sales exceed 50,000 Members of the group receive a 2% profit
Note that the members of the group get a total of 2% Han Geng personally can only get 0.15%
3. Job hopping pays 3 times the cultivation fee and twice the amount of the company's economic losses caused by him during this period
All of the above
But it's just the tip of the iceberg in the Korean entertainment industry
Under the operation of capital
The Korean entertainment industry has long been reduced to the plaything of the chaebols
Debut just means that they are qualified goods
They were also greeted by the "grace" of the chaebols.
Statistics are based on relevant records
67% of artists in the Korean entertainment industry have been asked to accompany the wine
70% of entertainers are required to have long-term receptions
Among them, female artists accounted for 63%
In order to obtain the maximum profit value
Agencies even go to openly auction off their own artists on the first night for huge profits
Even if capital has been blatantly to this extent
But artists are afraid of reprisals
Very few people dare to disclose their experiences
Living under the oppression of such deformities and pathologies for a long time
Many entertainers choose to end their lives in the form of suicide
March 7, 2009
Zhang Ziyan, a 26-year-old South Korean female artist, committed suicide at her home
People found more than 200 pages of suicide notes in her bedroom
In the suicide note, Zhang Ziyan revealed that she had been killed
Asked to sleep with 31 people hundreds of times
Soon after, there were even South Korean media reports
A consortium father and son even let Zhang Ziyan be a "shared mistress" for 1 year
In addition to this, it is convenient for customers to use at any time
Zhang Ziyan was also forcibly taken away by the brokerage company for sterilization
As a result, he was unable to have children for the rest of his life
Some might say
That's all, and she still won't refuse?
How about resisting without legal means?
It wasn't that she hadn't refused
In 2008, Zhang Ziyan was once rejected
Entertain more than a dozen people at the same time
He was held in the office by the brokerage company for 8 hours
He was then beaten for 3 hours by his boss and colleagues
Want to call the police? Sorry, The law of South Korea only recognizes capital and does not recognize people
Under the capital operation of the brokerage company
The police put the matter to rest
And after this thing passed
What awaits Zhang Ziyan?
Gang rape
According to Zhang Ziyan's own suicide note
After this incident
She was pulled into a basement by a brokerage firm
He was gang-raped by a dozen "VIPs"
Even after her suicide, Capital still did not intend to let her go
The video of Zhang Ziyan being violated was sold to fans by the agency
The brokerage company also made a big fuss about Zhang Ziyan's death and made a lot of money
And those who had actually tried to save her
They were threatened to varying degrees and even killed
Ex-boyfriend Park Il-taek once thought about redeeming herself
However, he was banned by the magnates and seriously injured by the son of the boss of a consortium
From the previous end of the destruction of the human world evaporation
A criminal police officer "accidentally" drowned in the course of investigating Zhang Ziyan's suicide case
The pond where he died was less than 1 meter 2 deep
And Zhang Ziyan is just one of many tragedies
August 2011
A website in South Korea has been exposed a lot
Indecent video of a young woman at a hotel
The exposure of the video is more exciting than some tertiary films
More important is the heroine in these videos
They are all first-, second- and third-tier stars in South Korea
There is even no shortage of Top Korean celebrities such as Song Ji-sun and Park Hye-sang
Without exception, these celebrities all committed suicide shortly before the video was released
Combined with the various experiences that Zhang Ziyan encountered before
It's not hard to find
This is yet another gold-digging scheme for the late star
The Korean entertainment industry and even the whole of Korea
What kind of existence is it?
This is a country where the chaebols are the most capital-oriented
2012 Top 10 Chaebol Assets in Korea
85% of South Korea's GDP
Chaebols have become the true masters of Korea
They are like a shadow hanging over South Korea
Hold every Korean's money in your own hands
Under such extreme capitalism
Even the South Korean government has become their lackey
Park Geun-hye Lee Myung-bak and the like chose to join the chaebols
Raising the Banner of Democracy Roh Moo-hyun, who is trying to be tough with the chaebols
In the end, he was forced to commit suicide
In South Korea, even the president has co-opted the gentry and set up a name
Look at the eyes of the chaebols kneeling for food
The so-called status of stars is even more conceivable
Early 2019
The Blue House announced a thorough investigation of the Li Shengli case and the Zhang Ziyan case
I want to be fair for the Korean people
But the result?
Lee Shengli, who has turned the tide in the Korean entertainment industry
Only because of the protection of the big guy behind it
The government didn't even qualify him
Li Shengli relaxed and retreated
The backhand also threatened the president to make him see where he was
And Zhang Ziyan has become a "unsolved case for thousands of years"
Zhang Ziyan's parents and relatives all evaporated
The friends in the circle who shouted for him had a collective amnesia
The entire case was shelved completely
Various events through the Korean entertainment industry
It's not hard to find
South Korea is a country full of magic realism
On the one hand, they dare to shoot anything
Exposing the Darkness of the Chaebol Government's "Big Guy" and "New World"
"The Melting Pot" accusing the government of incompetence and campus sexual assault
And "Suyuan", which shocked all of Asia, about sexually assaulting minors
There is also "Plaything" based on Zhang Ziyan
This is the freedom and democracy that south Korea has long distorted
They like to make film and television dramas to expose the ugliness of capital
But on the other hand, they are willing to be slaves to capital
Even squeezed out the head to want to be a part of them
In front of the chaebol and
The authority of the Blue House is not worth mentioning at all
The most suffocating part of the country is it
Whenever someone wants to expose the crimes of the chaebols
They will unabashedly use their rights
Destroy it to the point of no end
Then proudly tell the world:
SOORY has money and can really do whatever it wants
And hiding behind them seems to be the black hand
But it's just a joke after tea
