On December 27, Lee Sun-kyun's death was like a heavy stone falling into everyone's hearts. 48 years old, which is the first age of life, but in the car in a park in Seoul, he chose such an ending. His death, like a huge sign, silently proclaims the cruelty of the showbiz. This is not just the departure of one person, what it reflects behind it is the ruthlessness and pressure of the entire entertainment industry. The news spread like thunder, and everyone was lamenting, why did such a talented actor leave like this?But the truth is so cruel, no matter how popular he once was, now there is only cold reports in the news.
The discovery of the last words added a bit of drama to the event. Lee Sun-kyun's wife, Jun Hye-jin, found the note at home, isn't this the plot that only appears in TV dramas?But this time, it happened in reality. The content of the last words has not been disclosed, but it is conceivable that it must be the helplessness and despair in Li Shanjun's heart. The words he left behind were like a last cry, but no one could answer them. His death has left people with too many questions and puzzles, but I am afraid that these questions will never be answered.
Lee Sun-kyun's suicide can't help but make people think about this question again: Why did so many Korean stars embark on the road of suicide?Is the pressure in the entertainment industry really too much?We always say that the actors are glamorous, but how many of us can really understand the bitterness and pressure behind them?This is not the first time such a tragedy has happened, and every time it is heart-wrenching. But this heartache does not seem to prevent similar tragedies from happening again. The cruelty of the Korean entertainment industry is no secret, but whenever someone falls because of this, everyone will still feel shocked and sad.
Speaking of Li Shanjun's psychological struggle, it is really difficult to explain. What kind of pressure and pain this first-line actor is suffering behind the halo is difficult for outsiders to peek into. His choice, although painful, also reflects the despair in his heart. This is not only a personal tragedy, but also a portrayal of the cruel environment of the entire entertainment industry. The entertainment industry seems to be prosperous, but in fact the undercurrent is turbulent, and many stars are smiling under the flash, but they hide unspeakable pain. Lee Sun-kyun's departure may be just the tip of the iceberg, and more tragedies are happening quietly.
Regarding his last words, Lee Sun-kyun expressed his deep helplessness and despair in his last note. Although this last words have not been fully disclosed, judging from the fragments disclosed by **, Li Shanjun's heart is full of sadness and helplessness. He mentions "helpless" and "there is no other way", and behind these words is a heavy feeling of the powerlessness of reality. The life of a star seems glamorous, but it is actually full of all kinds of unknown pressures and challenges. Lee Sun-kyun's last words are like a final farewell to this world, and a silent indictment of those invisible pressures.
For Li Shanjun, economic pressure was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back. The investigation of drug-related cases led to the forced termination of his advertising and film contracts, and the huge amount of liquidated damages and compensation put him on a heavy financial burden. We all know that although celebrities have high incomes, they also spend a lot. Once you encounter a crisis, you are like a person who has fallen into the water, and it is difficult to extricate yourself. This situation of Lee Sun-kyun is not uncommon in the entertainment industry. Many celebrities are behind the lights and may be facing similar financial hardships and psychological challenges.
When it comes to celebrity life, outsiders see all the glamorous and glamorous, but in fact, the life behind them can be described as full of ups and downs. Lee Sun-kyun is a living example. On the surface, the scenery is infinite, but in reality it is difficult. Although he has acted in a lot of popular film and television dramas, who knows that he doesn't actually make much money, and his money is very tight. Once this kind of thing happens, it's like being pushed to the edge of a cliff, one wrong step, one wrong step. The life of many celebrities is like this, seemingly rich, but in fact it is full of challenges and crises. This situation is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, but most of the time, these are covered up by gorgeous appearances.
In Lee Sun-kyun's case, there is another poignant detail that he was blackmailed. Think about it, a big star was blackmailed by someone who was involved in drugs, which in itself reflects some of the dark sides of the entertainment industry. Although the amount of extortion may not be small for us ordinary people, it should be nothing for a star like Lee Sun-kyun. But the problem was that at that time, he was already unable to cope, and even had to reach out to his friends to borrow money. It's not just a question of money, it's more of a question of face and dignity. Such a situation undoubtedly exacerbated his psychological pressure and plunged him into deeper despair.
Finally, we have to mention the impact of Lee Sun-kyun's suicide on his family. His departure is undoubtedly a huge blow to his wife and children. Many times, the person who commits suicide may think that it is a relief, but for those who remain, it is an eternal pain. Li Shanjun may feel that he is trying to lighten the burden on his family, but he did not expect that the psychological trauma caused by his departure to his family is far greater than the financial pressure. Such examples are not uncommon around us, but every time we hear them, we feel extremely sad and reluctant.
