In 2009, the suicide of South Korean actress Zhang Ziyan was boiling over.
The unseen unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are chilling.
10 years later, this incident was once again pushed to the cusp of public opinion.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in personally ordered that during his tenure,
Stepping up efforts to thoroughly investigate the big names on the list is bound to bring justice to civilians.
From the perspective of South Korea's political situation, President Moon Jae-in's move,
It is declaring war on the major chaebols in South Korea.
But from the perspective of the people, the focus of attention is,
Can the misfortunes of civilians be brought to justice?
What a powerful dark force,
Let a girl who is in her youth embark on the road of no return to suicide?
Ms. Jang was born in 1980 to a South Korean private company owner.
From a well-off family, she lived a happy and carefree life before the age of 16.
However, a car accident took the lives of the parents.
Zhang Ziyan and her sister depend on each other for their lives, although their parents are gone,
But she persevered through her studies.
Jang graduated from the Department of Journalism and Broadcasting at Chosun University in South Korea.
Because of her good figure and good character, she was quickly favored by an economic company.
In 2006, she was given an opportunity to advertise for a brand of biscuits.
Although because of this opportunity, the door of the showbiz circle was pushed open,
However, she also fell and went to the dark road of no return.
Because she is not deeply involved in the world, she only knows that this circle is very profitable,
But no one reminded her how chaotic the circle was.
In September 2007, without serious inspection,
She went to a notorious entertainment company.
The company is called The Contents and the president is Kim Jong-sung.
Because there are many well-known artists under it,
Therefore, it has also attracted many young people with dreams.
At that time, there were a lot of people who signed up with this company.
This kind of contract is actually a hegemonic clause, and many of the requirements are very demanding.
If the artist defaults, the company will be compensated for a liquidated damages of up to 1 billion won.
Not only that, but looking back now,
There are also many historical events that make people think about it.
Female artists who have intersected with this company have committed suicide.
In 2005, U-nee committed suicide.
In 2007, Zheng Duobin committed suicide.
In 2008, Choi committed suicide.
In 2009, Zhang Ziyan committed suicide.
Although every suicide incident will cause quite a stir.
But no matter how hot the water is, it will eventually cool down.
Human feelings are cold and warm, as they were.
What's more, in the entertainment circle where people are indifferent, people are concerned about their own development.
Very few people stop and think about other people's stories.
In 2009, Zhang Ziyan ushered in the peak of her career.
This TV series that made her popular is based on the Taiwanese version of "Meteor Garden",
Adaptation of "Fancy Man".
She wasn't the main character at the time, just a supporting role.
But because this drama is so popular, she is also well known by many people.
Just when her popularity is soaring, she is considered by everyone to become a dazzling new star.
However, on March 7 of the same year, she was found by her sister hanging herself at home.
At that time, my sister was collecting her belongings,
It was found that the younger sister had a record of receiving psychotherapy.
Therefore, the police also believe that she committed suicide because of depression.
Just when everyone thought that this was an ordinary celebrity suicide,
Things took a dramatic turn.
The first person to expose the incident was none other than Zhang Ziyan's former economist Liu Mou.
According to Liu, Zhang Ziyan trusted him before he died.
He also took the 7-page suicide note that Zhang Ziyan left for him.
He told Zhang Ziyan's relatives that he could use this as evidence.
Go to court and sue the entertainment company.
But after Zhang Ziyan's family saw it,
I feel that the contents of it are very detrimental to the reputation of the deceased,
Since a person has passed away, there is no point in discussing true or false right and wrong.
So the Zhang family proposed to Liu that he must destroy these suicide notes as soon as possible.
In fact, Liu Mou's purpose is not simple, his relationship with Zhang Ziyan before his death,
Whether it is as good as he says it is a matter of death.
It is said that Liu's relationship with President Jin is not good,
Maybe he just wanted to use it for revenge.
Just after the Zhang family thought that the suicide note had been destroyed,
South Korea's KBS tv station exposed the contents of Zhang Ziyan's suicide note.
It turned out that according to the media reporter of KBS, they were interviewing Liu.
Found a bag of shredded paper in front of his house, after a patchwork,
Only to find out was Zhang Ziyan's suicide note.
There is a sentence in the suicide note that is intriguing.
"I'm a newcomer actor with no background and just want to get out of the pain."
Although the loss and recovery of the suicide note, it is slightly strange and bizarre.
However, after judicial appraisal, it was confirmed that the 7-page suicide note was indeed Zhang Ziyan's handwriting.
After the contents of the suicide note were exposed, it was like opening Pandora's box.
Many powerful chaebols in South Korea have also surfaced as a result.
The contents of the suicide note record the unfair treatment that Zhang Ziyan suffered during her lifetime.
She was coerced by the company into providing sexual hospitality to the big guys.
If you refuse to obey, you will be beaten because you have signed a bully contract with the company.
Therefore, under the pressure of being unable to repay the high liquidated damages, she had to give in.
From Zhang Ziyan's suicide note, what makes people feel indignant is that
This poor girl, in just a few years,
Forced to provide up to 100 times of sexual services to those people,
And even on her parents' death day, the company did not let her go,
Still let her serve those people.
There are a total of 31 of these people,
There are political, business, media executives and directors.
Since there is no conclusive evidence to prove these people,
So the 31 people on the list,
It has not been made public to date.
The result of the handling of this case in 2009 was that
President Kim was sentenced to one year in prison for threatening and beating Zhang Ziyan.
The fine was 24 million won.
Zhang Ziyan's former economist Liu Mou,
Sentenced to 4 months' imprisonment for fabricating facts.
The content of sexual hospitality mentioned in the suicide note,
Because of insufficient evidence, the parties died without proof,
So the case ended hastily.
In 2011, a man named Kim Joon-joo falsely claimed to be a close friend of Zhang Ziyan's.
A 230-page suicide note was fabricated to push the forgotten incident into the hot news again.
Although because of the pressure of public opinion, the police investigated again, and finally it was still impossible.
There has been no substantial progress in the case.
Until 2017, thanks to the "Me Too" movement swept the globe.
Zhang Ziyan's case was submitted to the Blue House by 600,000 south Koreans for petition.
The court therefore set up an investigation team to conduct an investigation.
At this time, Zhang Ziyan's sister Yin Zhiwu also came out to testify,
She said that in the past 10 years, she has been taking justice for her sister.
Just for the sake of their own safety, the video evidence submitted to the relevant departments,
It's all mosaic-processed.
She said that she was also asked by President Kim to drink with customers.
And she also witnessed Zhang Ziyan being molested in public by a director.
She said she had also been in and out of the examination hall and had taken notes 13 times.
But her testimony was not accepted.
Because one of the 31 people on the list was the husband of an executive in the prosecutor's office.
Yin Zhiwu said that during the time when he testified,
I've also received a lot of threatening phone calls.
Fearing that something would happen to her, she had to emigrate.
Until 2019, because the president supported the civilians, Yin Zhiwu appeared,
Public identity for the sister to seek justice.
In fact, it is very dangerous for witnesses to be publicly identified.
At the beginning, Cui Zhen's younger brother suspected that his sister's suicide had no hidden feelings,
So he began to investigate the cause of his sister's death, but it turned out that he himself committed suicide.
So many people are also worried about whether Yin Zhiwu will be "killed"?
After that, Yin Zhiwu issued a statement of non-suicide,
Korean women's associations also protected her.
In addition to Yin Ji Wu, there is also a male artist named Kim Hyun Chong,
He also once stood up and testified for Zhang Ziyan.
He is an actor who plays Hanazawa in "Fancy Man",
At that time, he was very popular, but he had just spoken out not long ago.
He was exposed by the media to the scandal of his girlfriend who abused him, although many years later,
It has been confirmed that it has been framed, but its popularity has long since ceased to be what it was.
As a result, the cause has been seriously affected.
There is also a policeman, because he has been tracking the truth of Zhang Ziyan's incident for many years,
He was found drowning at a depth of just over 1 meter.
The police determined that he had died accidentally.
In the testimony provided by Jun Zhiwu, she pointed out that Zhang Ziyan's 7-page suicide note was suspicious, and the suicide note she said was actually a supporting document.
Because it not only has Zhang Ziyan's ID number left on it,
He also pressed his handprint, and also stamped the riding seal, which also had Zhang Ziyan's signature on it.
If it is a suicide note, there is no need to keep these.
So what is this used to prove?
Yin Zhiwu mentioned a person, that is, Li Meishu,
Hopefully, she'll step up and respond.
It turned out that it was confirmed that Lee Mi-sook once had a handle on President Kim,
In order to get herself out of trouble, she had to unite with Liu,
Ask Zhang Ziyan out and ask her to write such a proof,
In this way, he blackmailed President Kim so that he could get out of the company.
However, Zhang Ziyan was also threatened because of this,
From the call records, Zhang Ziyan seemed to be under a lot of pressure at that time.
At this point, the truth of Zhang Ziyan's suicide surfaced.
Until now, though, the 31 people on that list have remained at large.
Because there is still no conclusive evidence that they accepted sexual reception.
The unspoken rules in the entertainment industry are everywhere, beautiful female artists,
It will even be listed by some companies to ask for a price to sleep with,
The coffee position is different, and the price code also ranges from tens of thousands to millions.
Not only the entertainment industry, this phenomenon even spread to the music scene,
Modeling circles and other industries.
Of course, there are also a very small number of artists who reject this unspoken rule of being slept to get a chance.
According to Taiwanese artist Qiaoqiao, it is very important for artists to choose a company, and most large companies will not have this situation.
Although there may be, but the economic people will also clearly give choices, point out the stakes, because as the circle said, sleeping in the wrong bed and people, just like the development opportunities, and even the loss of money and wealth.
If you don't look pretty, you have to find a way to be beautiful in order to get development opportunities.
Si Rong, a famous host at Taiwan's Eastern Sen Shopping Platform, has also been versatile since childhood.
But because I don't look pretty, I am facing a lot of competitive pressure.
In order to develop his career, Sjong went to South Korea to undergo as many as 31 cosmetic surgeries.
Once, just doing complete cosmetic surgery, accidentally photographed by Yu Ji,
His face was swollen like a bun,
After the photo was exposed, Si Rong's parents were so angry that they ignored her for a long time.
Wu Jing once said that girls should not easily enter the entertainment circle.
This sentence is indeed worth pondering, not only if you have talent and appearance, you will have a chance.
There are opportunities, and the price to be paid, is very imaginable.
If you want to wear a crown, you will bear its weight.
