The death of Cui Xueli a few days ago was like throwing a torpedo into the pond, causing a splash of water.
Recalling that I saw her starring in a TV series recently, she was so beautiful at that time and her smile was so innocent…
Now, looking back, people have passed away.
The autopsy report came out on the 16th. According to Korean media, Cui Xueli committed suicide… Fans once found it difficult to accept this fact and couldn't understand why this girl in her prime years committed suicide…
depression
According to people familiar with the matter, Shirley suffers from severe depression due to years of online violence and physical and mental exhaustion from work. She has been taking medicine to relieve it, but I don’t know why, whether she was stimulated by something or what happened, and finally chose extreme…
cyber violence
Every country has them, and every country has no shortage of keyboard warriors… They roam the Internet, using the mask of the Internet to maliciously slander others…
We are helpless against them.
Shirley endured online violence all year round and reported it to the company many times, but could not get a solution… which eventually became one of the reasons for Shirley's suicide.
But this is not the biggest reason for Shirley's death. Another big reason is excessive work pressure!
Too much work pressure?
This is not a joke, the work pressure of Korean stars is indeed very high
So why is there so much pressure at work?
Then I have to mention that the way Korean brokerage companies train idol trainees is related to her current brokerage company, the Korean listed brokerage company SM.
Idol trainee in Korean agency
The way Korean agencies train trainees is that they will find and sign some good-looking men and women, or people with outstanding talents, such as singing, guitar, piano, etc., and let them sign into the company to work as trainees. They will practice for a few years, and then select the more outstanding trainees to form a group and finally debut.
During the few years that you have been an idol trainee, the company will try its best to train you and train you from a novice who knows nothing to a popular idol! An all-round idol who can sing, dance, rap, and play basketball.
Like Cai Xukun.
After hearing this, do you think this company is simply a good company? The kind that thrives?
Not really
First of all, during the years when you were a trainee, if the company wanted to train you to become an idol, would it have to spend a lot of money and energy on you to learn this and that? Especially when you first became a trainee, you didn’t understand anything, you didn’t know anything, and the company wasn’t allowed to support you? Not to mention helping you with plastic surgery later.
After you have formed a group, the company will help you form a group with others and help you plan a famous performance, from the venue to the songs. In order to help you become famous, the company has put in so much effort, so after you debut and become famous, should you repay the company?
Don't think it's an exaggeration to sign a long-term contract, one that starts with 10 years. It's the fact. No one wants to help others develop talents.
90% of your salary goes to the company. Yes, you heard it right, you and the company are inseparable. After all, the company has spent a lot of effort and money to train you.
never ending announcements
Announcements are made throughout the day, from morning to evening, and there are no weekends off.
This is how Korean management companies squeeze artists because they feel that they have spent too much on cultivating these people. Now that they have become successful, they have to work harder to squeeze them back.
In addition, those trainees who have just become famous and are anxious to make money will accept all comers.
Therefore, Korean artists are busy from morning to night, with no weekends. Except when they are sick or have a break during major holidays, they really work hard all day long. Therefore, most of them suffer from depression.
Out of tiredness
Korean listed brokerage company SM
Cui Xueli's agency
That's right, it's the agency where Girls' Generation works.
This company that has produced many well-known artists actually… has hidden murderous intentions.
Why is it said to have hidden murderous intent? Because this is not the first time a popular artist has committed suicide in SM. It happened as early as December 18, 2017, when Kim Jonghyun, the lead singer of the well-known Korean group SHINee, committed suicide.
He also committed suicide by burning charcoal because of depression.
Depression seems like a curse
hovering over the heads of Korean artists
This is not an isolated case of suicide due to depression
It’s not just SM artists either.
In 2005, actor Lee Eun-joo hanged herself due to depression.
In 2007, actor U-Nee hanged himself due to depression.
In 2008, actor Kim Ji Hoo committed suicide due to depression caused by online violence.
In 2008, actor Choi Jin-sil committed suicide due to depression caused by online violence.
In 2009, actress Zhang Ziyan hanged herself due to depression.
In 2010, actor Kim Sung-min was depressed and took drugs, and then committed suicide.
In 2010, singer Choi Jin-young committed suicide due to depression due to the death of her sister Choi Jin-sil.
In 2011, actor Qian Qian and singer Han Chae-won committed suicide due to depression.
In 2011, SG Wannabe’s leader Qian and vocalist Cai Dongha committed suicide due to depression.
In 2017, Shinee's lead singer Kim Jonghyun committed suicide by burning charcoal due to depression.
In 2018, 100% Captain Qian’s sub-vocalist, Seo Minwoo, suspected of committing suicide for unknown reasons.
In 2019, Cui Xueli committed cyber violence and committed suicide due to depression.
I don’t know whether it’s because of the fierce competition in the Korean entertainment industry or what, but according to statistics, from 2005 to the present, there have been more than 40 famous and unknown artists who have committed suicide, approaching 50!
In the past fifteen years, the suicide rate of Korean artists has reached the top of the world…
Although it belongs to another country, this is not a glorious thing, nor does it deserve our gratitude. On the contrary, this kind of thing should arouse our thinking.
What is the reason that forces them to choose the extreme?
According to analysis, most artists who commit suicide suffer from severe depression…
Some suffer from depression because they are depressed and have struggled for many years without being famous. Some suffer from depression because of online violence. Some suffer from depression because their work is too tedious and mentally exhausted. Some suffer from depression due to unspoken rules…
depression!
Is it because Korean artists have poor mental endurance or something else? According to Han Mei's disclosure, most artists basically suffer from depression, and in the end they commit suicide because of depression…
When these people are still in the beautiful moments of life, they choose extremes, not only letting their white-haired family members send black-haired people away, but also making fans feel sad…
Heartbroken
I hope there will be no online violence and no hidden rules, so that the world will become a better place and things like Shirley will never happen again.
