In the case that the Korean entertainment industry is controlled by chaebols, the pure and beautiful goddess in the hearts of fans is just a plaything for chaebols after tea, among which Lee Eun-joo is a victim who has been trampled on wantonly.
Lee Eun-joo (born December 22, 1980) is a South Korean pianist and musician.
She has shown extraordinary artistic talent since she was a child, and she especially likes to play the piano. In order to support their daughter's piano dream, Li Eunzhu's parents and family hired a piano teacher on a small scale.
At that time, Lee Eun-joo's biggest dream was to become a pianist and then give his own concerts around the world, so that his parents would not have to work so hard.
However, Lee Eun-joo's acting career is full of hardship and darkness. She has been forced to appear in restricted films with a large number of nudity scenes many times, just to satisfy the bad tastes of high-ranking officials
When attending the award ceremony, he put the "toy" on her lower body just to see her blushing, her legs trembling, and her appearance in public.
In her daily work, she also encountered the "bedtime" requirements of many company executives, and even more egregiously, Li Eunzhu experienced an 8-hour torture, humiliation, and sexual abuse.
Selling his physical talents in exchange for performance opportunities, several years of mental torture after his debut, made Lee Eun-joo choose to end his life at the age of 25.
The death of Lee Eun-joo touched the hearts of millions of fans, and the true face of the evil of South Korea's chaebols was also revealed as the tip of the iceberg. How deep is the water in the Korean entertainment industry that will make a girl in her prime choose to commit suicide?
Let's start at the beginning!
Lee Eun-joo participated in the campus star selection competition of KBS Entertainment in South Korea and signed a contract.
Two young and beautiful girls became a group, and with the explosion of advertisements, both of them became popular, and the invitation announcements continued. Although Li Eunzhu felt hard at that time, she was happy, and a bright future was beckoning to her.
For the role of a female number two in the TV series "Starting Point", she flipped through the script and completely immersed herself in the world of the character.
Shortly after the broadcast of this TV series, Lee Eun-joo became popular all over the streets of South Korea, and "powerful actress" became the audience's new label for her. Everyone thought she would shine, even Lee Eun-joo.
However, secretly, South Korea's chaebol high-ranking officials have long set their sights on this beautiful girl. In the eyes of the chaebols, Li Eunzhu is not an independent person at all, but a commodity that can be sent around.
She was repeatedly sent to the presidents of various companies and chaebols, at first just to accompany alcohol, then more and more excessive, into play, sleep, sexual abuse.
Li Eunzhu did not have the courage to resist at all, and all kinds of unbearable private photos of herself were in their hands, and she could only paralyze herself to endure round after round of torture.
From one person to several people, the good expectations in Lee Eun-joo's heart gradually disappeared under the shroud of these demons. There was even a time when the chaebols sexually abused Lee Eun-joo for up to 8 hours in order to pursue excitement.
This time left Li Eunzhu with great physical and mental trauma, and the wounds on her body barely scabbed for half a month, but at the same time, her spirit was on the verge of collapse.
However, the chaebols will not let the poor girl go, and the chaebols force Lee Eun-joo to make a restricted film with a lot of nudity. A movie "Ah, Xiuzhen" has completely transformed Li Eunzhu from the original image of a pure jade woman into a slut that everyone looks down on.
Fans are also dissatisfied with her new route, but they don't know what kind of inhuman torture Lee Eun-joo is going through. Before accepting the award on stage once, in order to satisfy her perverted selfish desires, he forcibly stuffed "small toys" into her body.
This made Li Enzhu instantly fall into an ice cellar, she did not dare to resist at all, nor did she have the ability to resist. Sure enough, after Li Eunzhu took the stage, he was tortured by "toys" until his face was red and his legs trembled, and this embarrassing look deeply pleased the perverted executive.
Since then, Ms. Lee has become silent, rejecting media speculation about her physical and dramatic transformations.
Until 2004, Li Enzhu was forced to forcibly shoot a third-grade film "The Scarlet Letter"
Such a scale has made the box office soar, and the discussion about Lee Eun-joo has also risen to a height.
The media said that this was the peak of her career, but Lee Eun-joo completely lost the ability to be happy. She refused all media interviews and refused to communicate with anyone, as if she had completely lived in her own world since the movie was broadcast.
This former piano genius has now fallen victim to deprivation of liberty. Her life is like a painful dream, which people can't bear to see.
But her life was gradually destroyed in the darkness of the Korean entertainment industry.
At the time of the fermentation of the word of mouth of "The Red Letter", Li Enzhu's depression was so serious that it affected her sleep, and her inability to sleep all night made her completely collapse.
At six o'clock in the morning one day, Li Eunzhu called her brother with an emotional breakdown, hoarsely accusing her of the injustices and grievances she had encountered in the past few years, her life had been completely ruined, and her whole life was full of sadness and helplessness.
This is the first time that the sensible sister has told her painful experience, but the brother can only say a few words of comfort on the phone, after all, the adult world is cruel.
The call lasted for about an hour, and the brother felt that his sister's mood seemed to be stable, so he thought that his comfort had worked, but at this time, Lee Eun-joo was ready to die.
This phone call is not just to confide in my brother, but to say goodbye to my brother. After hanging up the phone, the more his brother thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he called Li Eunzhu again, but the phone was not connected.
The brother, who was increasingly uneasy, hurried to Li Eunzhu's apartment, and after the door was opened, Lee Eunzhu's wrist was bloodied, and she herself hung from the beam with a belt.
The brother rushed to save his sister and then dialed the emergency number, but by the time the ambulance arrived, Lee Eun-joo had lost vital signs. Before she committed suicide, she also left a suicide note to her mother
。 She did not mention the dirty experience over the years, but only expressed her guilt for her mother. She hopes to return to her before she became famous, to be carefree by her mother's side, and she will protect her mother in heaven after she dies.
Lee Eun-joo's death touched the hearts of millions of fans, and the true face of the South Korean chaebol was also revealed the tip of the iceberg. Everyone close to them knows the truth about Lee Eun-joo's suicide, but no one dares to expose the true face of the powerful South Korean chaebol.
The police can only claim that Li Eunzhu committed suicide due to severe depression, and the rest were hidden under the surface forever.
The exploitation and sexual assault of young girls in the Korean entertainment industry has always existed, until in recent years, South Korean suicide actresses one after another, the true face of South Korean chaebols has been revealed.
Zhang Ziyan, 29, directly left a 200-page suicide note exposing the torture and abuse of the chaebols, and she served more than 50 high-ranking officials, chaebols, and even well-known figures in the entertainment industry.
Exploited and oppressed, these girls have not only lost their freedom and dignity, but also lost their lives.
However, there are still many Korean stars who are experiencing this. Their glamorous exterior masks the pain and depression inside, not knowing which of them will be the next Lee Eun-joo.
This issue has triggered a reflection on the Korean entertainment industry and society, and measures need to be taken to protect the rights and safety of these young girls.
On the anniversary of Lee Eun-joo and other girls who have died, people post on social media to express their remembrance and condolences. But these memorials are only short-lived, and real attention and change can make the departure of these girls not wasted.
