Last year, Korean star Lee Sun-kyun was investigated for a drug-related incident in his natal year, and finally ended his young life in the car on December 27 under psychological pressure.
At first, many netizens mistakenly thought that he committed suicide in fear of crime, but with the relevant clues, a shocking and heart-wrenching truth surfaced.
In the Korean entertainment industry, the status of actors is often ignored, and the salary cannot be guaranteed. Take Lee Sun-kyun as an example, although he has international fame, when he was extorted 300 million won (about 1.6 million yuan), he could not afford it himself, so he could only borrow money from friends, which eventually led to his reputation crisis.
In contrast, the remuneration of actors of the same level in domestic entertainment has reached tens of millions per film, and the third-tier supporting roles can easily come up with this number. To make matters worse, the Korean entertainment industry association did not lend a helping hand in time, which is deeply humiliating.
Li Shanjun once faced the investigation frankly and actively cooperated, but the reaction in the industry disappointed him, except for a few peers who expressed support, there was no practical action, and ** immediately characterized him as a bad artist for reporting.
However, ** had tested negative on him four times, and there was no evidence of his drug-related involvement, other than a list provided by the alleged witnesses. Regrettably, the latest information released by Yonhap News Agency shows that Lee Sun-gyun was under tremendous investigative pressure before committing suicide.
Four days before Li Shanjun committed suicide, he went to the police station for interrogation for the third time, and during the 19-hour overnight interrogation, he promised that he had told all the truth, hoping that ** could judge the statements of him and the female head of the room fairly.
However, the results on the list of female room chiefs showed that Lee Sun-kyun and Kwon Ji-ryong had negative precision tests, and their credibility was very low. At this critical moment, Li Shanjun couldn't bear the pressure and finally chose to leave.
His departure is a heavy wake-up call for the Korean entertainment industry, making us reflect on the fearlessness of the top performers with bad conduct in recent years, but a powerful actor like Lee Sun-kyun chose to commit suicide under heavy pressure, which is worth pondering in the entire film and television industry.
Less than a month after Li Shan's death, on January 18, his wife Tian Huizhen had to face the pressure of a comeback. Although it can be seen from her expression that she is still immersed in the grief of losing her lover, the ** publicity of the agency makes her have to endure the pain.
Such behavior can't help but remind people of the saying "eating human blood steamed buns".
The tragedy of Lee Sun-kyun shows us the high-pressure, fast-paced and mercenary side of the Korean entertainment industry. We hope that the industry can be more tolerant and friendly, so that every worker can give full play to their talents in a safe and harmonious environment.
