Being a star and an artist in South Korea is a glamorous thing, because the most outstanding thing in this country is their "love beans", their boy band and girl group, all kinds of artists, can be exported to the world, and are highly sought after by teenagers from all over the world.
Although they have no aircraft carriers, no nuclear weapons, no strategic missiles, no military command of their own, and even most of the equity of Samsung is in the hands of Wall Street, they have the entertainment industry, and they have the first-class "cultural output".
However, being a star in South Korea is also a dangerous thing, because you don't know when you will inexplicably "commit suicide" and disappear into this era, silently. At 4:30 p.m. on October 14, 2019, Cui Shirley was found dead in her apartment in Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, and it was her agent who was reported to the police, who confirmed that Cui Shirley hanged herself in a room on the 2nd floor, and she was only 25 years old.
From Zhang Ziyan to Cui Shirley, their causes of death are very similar, they are all suspected of depression, mental problems, all died of suicide, and the deaths were found by the agent.
It is said that Cui Shirley was "crazy" in 2017, she posted some inexplicable and strange photos on social media as a whole, and even made some out-of-the-ordinary dew point live broadcasts, dismembering dolls, roasting eels alive and dubbing, stuffing her mouth with grapes with a sluggish expression... On the one hand, it is nonsense, advocating women's freedom and liberation, on the other hand, it uses the "sexiness" of not wearing underwear to attract attention. Some people described her as a "rotting peach", and some people said that "she was going to commit suicide sooner or later".
So, two years later, she did "commit suicide", and some people said that we watched her step by step to die.
In fact, she made many "hints" in her "performance art", for example, when grilling eels, she imitated the tone of the eel and said: "Save me...."; for example, during the live broadcast, a man's sudden approach actually frightened her, almost under the table... What made her so frightened and uneasy?
Why did she commit suicide? I don't know, Koreans will never find out the truth anyway, all their kindness and justice, all their kindness and bravery, only exist in the movie.
Since 2005 to the present, 12 artists have died of "suicide", and in the past 20 years, at least 30 artists in South Korea have committed suicide.
In 2005, actor Lee Eun Joo committed suicide. In 2007, U-Nee committed suicide. In 2008, actor Kim Ji-ho committed suicide. In 2008, actor Choi Real committed suicide. In 2009, actress Zhang Ziyan committed suicide. In 2010, actor Kim Sung-min committed suicide. In 2010, singer Choi Jin-young committed suicide. In 2011, Han Caiyuan committed suicide. In 2011, SG Wannabe member Cai Donghe committed suicide. In 2017, Shinee member Kim Jong-hyun committed suicide. In 2018, 100% of the members Xu Minyou committed suicide.
You say, this young and vivid life, this body with bright and beautiful flesh, is simply queuing up to go to the grave, saying that the powder is thick, the fat is fragrant, the blink of an eye is life and death, the loess head sends white bones, the red light tent under the mandarin duck, in the end it is a big dream.
Such a look, or China's entertainment circle is good, I have never seen our country's artists can not open, even if the acting skills are sparse, even if singing, dancing will not, even if there is no cultural nonsense, even if there is no moral tax evasion and tax evasion, I have not seen them / they have any depression, I have not seen who is looking for death and life, at most the brain is not good to believe in what religion, every day in Weibo pretend to be a ghost, live moist.
But South Korea is different, their artists, entertainment stars, want to live easily, want to live like people, but it is very difficult, because they are just playthings, slaves, and tools, never as freedom and dignity as human beings. These boys and girls are really hard, very hard, to be honest, and if they were born in China, they could live well.
When Kim Jong-hyun committed suicide in 2017, the American media said to the point: "The Korean entertainment industry is a 'Hunger Games'." "The Hunger Games is an American science fiction film about the way the upper classes rule the people at the bottom — giving them hope, putting them on a battlefield to kill each other, and those who survive are entitled to live — that's "raising clams."
You look at the boy band girl group glamorous, you look at the trainees are full of vitality, just like the "teenagers" you imagine, in fact, they are just the fuel in the Korean entertainment capital industry chain. South Korea's population is only 50 million people, but South Korea's annual film and drama graduates are no less than 5,000, plus the new talents trained by major performing arts companies, the total number of tens of thousands of people. These people, if they want to become famous, if they want to get a future, they must compete brutally, this is the "Hunger Games", these so-called "trainees", that is, the "wrappers" who have signed a deed of sale for the performing arts company, from the body to the soul, belong to capital, they have to undergo cruel and arduous training, they have to package the image and personality, to cater to the market. Among them, there are even many unknown "abuses".
Trainee contracts, long and demanding, almost treat some 14- and 5-year-olds as child labor to earn money, and don't need to be paid at all. After debuting, the agency will make a draw on the artist, and the percentage is as high as 70%-90%. These "love beans" in the minds of the public, each of which is a slag squeezed dry by entertainment capital.
Chinese artists, in fact, in the show business circle, have a considerable "freedom", the same are idols, China's entertainment industry idols, with their looks can easily absorb fans, act in several traffic dramas, take a few movies, endorse several brands, you can be financially free, many of them, can turn into capitalists. Korean artists can only be artists, and they cannot get rid of the control of capital.
South Korea is still a country that does not treat women as people, female artists, not to mention people, do not look at their obvious thousands of pets in one, how many fans, is a national idol. In the face of the chaebols of capital, in front of the politicians and magnates, they are only tools for entertainment, and they are the playthings of businessmen and executives.
They are not only dolls and tools between politicians and chaebols, but also the "image" of South Korea's foreign country: they use their bright and beautiful posture to support South Korea's so-called "foreign cultural dissemination" and export to the world the "soft pornography" that makes teenagers addicted.
According to a 2010 report by the National Human Rights Commission of South Korea, the Survey of the Actual Human Rights Situation of Female Artists, showed that 60 percent of actresses were asked to trade sex with people of social status, and 12 percent of actresses admitted to "sleeping with them." This kind of thing may be all over the world, but in South Korea, it is obvious.
When Cui Shirley entered this circle when she was a little girl, we thought carefully about how much she should have experienced — how much "darkness".
How Zhang Ziyan died has not been figured out until now, and li Shengli, the "old bustard" who has been recorded as evidence, was acquitted, walked out of the court with his head held high, not only acquitted, but also able to join the army in a dignified manner, as for the chaebol princes involved in the case, they were not hurt at all. We can't help but think of President Moon Jae-in's impassioned speeches, which mean that "we will investigate to the end, never compromise, and gamble on fate" and so on. Nothing! Nothing!
Zhang Ziyan, who committed suicide at home in 2009, left a suicide note exposing the 5 rules of the Korean entertainment industry: 1, want to enter the entertainment industry must join the cruel life of trainees, 2, after officially doing trainees and the company signed a contract but the economic exploitation is very serious, 3, before debuting must be plastic surgery and the workload is very large, 4, underworld assets also often enter the entertainment industry, artists are often abused, 5, female stars are often asked to provide "sexual services" to customers. Zhang Ziyan also wrote in her suicide note that she was actually violated by 31 people from 2005 to 2009, and once by 4 people at the same time, even the death day of her parents was forced to "open".
Of course, many people say, fake! Zhang Ziyan has mental problems, delusions, the content of her suicide note is not credible, you see, the people's court has not found those people guilty, it must be this girl crazy, depressed, yes, must be depressed. Because the South Korean judicial organs investigated for 11 months and declared Lee Shengli, Jung Joon Young, Choi Jong Hoon and others innocent, from Jang Ziyan to Lee Shengli incident, no one was arrested, no one was responsible, the perfect rule of law, the perfect country. I don't know if you believe it or not, but I believed it anyway.
What can be done without belief? The Republic of Korea has its own national conditions here! Don't watch them make movies to intimidate the government and the plutocrats, to denounce the injustice of fate, to denounce the darkness of society, to denounce the inferiority of the upper class. But it is useless, after your cheap tears are finished, after the boiling blood cools, you can only watch the more cold reality happen than the movie, the ants die, the chaebol nobles will never be punished, everything will be lost, Zhang Ziyan is like this, the Sewol is the same, in these things, you can never find any so-called "justice".
South Korea's government and law have never won the chaebol, and in 2018, Samsung's "prince" Lee Jae-yong was indicted for Park Geun-hye's "crony door" case, and prosecutors accused Lee Jae-yong of illegal business operations and bribery. In the first-instance judgment, Lee was sentenced to five years in prison by the Han court. However, the verdict of the second instance trial was announced: the Seoul court sentenced Lee Jae-yong to 2 years and 6 months in prison, suspended for 4 years... The prince walked out of the courtroom with his head held high, because this was tantamount to "acquittal.". The key is "4 years of probation", 4 years later, the current president Moon Jae-in has stepped down, who dares to ask the prince about his crime? If the prince does not counterattack at that time, it will be the greatest mercy.
Now that I think about it, it is not surprising at all that President Wenda can't even check the entertainment circle, and even a few criminal star artists can't be cured. What a joke.
What is the most terrible and naked capitalism? It's about South Korea. There is no "developed country" in the world, like South Korea, the chaebol controls all industries, the chaebol controls all industries, and the ten largest consortiums in South Korea control 85% of the Korean economy. Politicians are just puppets of the chaebols, the president is just a dog, "democratically" on behalf of the chaebols to tear up infighting, almost every step down, will be liquidated, either died on the stage, or died in prison, either assassinated, or committed suicide.
South Korea is completely free of self-made wealth, with 76 percent of its assets coming from inheritance. The ancestors of these chaebols are often the compradors and "Korean traitors" of the Japanese invaders. Today's chaebols are often compradors controlled by American Wall Street capitalists... This society is completely, completely solidified, monolithic, and no one can turn over...
Therefore, the difference between the rich in South Korea and the ordinary people in South Korea may be greater than the difference between people and dogs. People in the entertainment industry, in front of the capital chaebol, are not even people, so what humiliation, sexual assault, play, oppression, persecution, is nothing.
In 2009, Zhang Ziyan died, and South Korea made a movie called "Plaything", which made you angry, made you hate, and made your blood boil.
In 2019, Choi Shirley died, and South Korea is estimated to be able to make another movie, called "Save Me", which makes you indignant, makes you sad, and makes you roar in despair.
But there is still no egg.
There is no hope for this country.
