Recently, the Korean entertainment industry has been really not peaceful, and dozens of artists have been involved in violent sexual assault incidents in schools.
First, let's talk about The Korean actor Kim Ji-so, who once played the fourteen brothers in the Korean remake of the Chinese TV series "Step by Step: Lee".
After the drama was broadcast in South Korea that year, the popularity has been very high, and it has also accumulated a lot of popularity for Kim Ji-so, and later he participated in many popular dramas, directly promoted to male number one, and began to star in TV series, which can be said to have a bright future.
But who would have thought that the dirty things he had done in high school before were blown up.
On a forum in South Korea, a netizen uploaded an indictment article titled "Actor Kim Ji-so is a perpetrator of school violence."
The article mentions that Kim Ji-so and some small are running amok in school, fighting for their own size, becoming the leader of the gangsters, often messing around in nightclubs, beating classmates for no reason, and looting their pocket money.
If you eat a meal that you don't like to eat, you will directly spit the food in your mouth on the classmates around you, and you will also instruct your classmates to run errands and buy cigarettes for him, and if you don't go, you will be beaten.
The most disgusting thing is that some netizens broke the news that Kim Ji-so is suspected of sexual violence, and the object is a junior high school girl.
As soon as the news came out, South Korean netizens boiled over, and more than a thousand people collectively petitioned Kim Ji-so to quit the entertainment circle.
In the face of verbal criticism from netizens, Kim Ji-so admitted to campus violence and sexual violence, and uploaded a handwritten apology on Instagram.

Sincerely want to apologize to everyone who has been hurt because of me
There is no room for justification for the mistakes I have made in the past
That is unforgivable behavior
After starting his acting career, he hid his past history and received a lot of attention from the public, so he came here
But deep down I was always full of guilt about the past, but it was too late to regret it, and I was always uneasy and scared to come over
The dark past always weighs on me
As an actor, I want to atone for the sins of the hurt people for a long time, and reflect on my unwashed past for a lifetime
Apologies to the TV production company actors tv crew, I made a huge mistake because I, you guys have suffered a lot of damage, I am really bitter and guilty.
Hopefully because my TV series doesn't get any more impact
I knelt down to apologize to all the people who had suffered so much because of me.
Because Kim Ji-so's involvement in the incident was too bad, the platform cooperating with it had to cut the seat and stop the loss.
As of now, south Korean TVING, WAVVE and other major OTT platforms have removed several episodes in which Kim Ji-so participated, and Naver TV and YouTube are also deleting his related clips.
There is no doubt that Kim Ji-so has been banned by the entire Korean network, and his acting career is completely over.
In addition to Kim Ji-so, Seo Hye-jin, a member of the South Korean girl group (G) I-DLE, was also revealed to be a school bully.
This group may not be familiar to everyone, but Song Yuqi, a member of this group, has previously been stationed in the variety show "Run, Brother", and during that time, the popularity was quite high.
Speaking of Xu Suizhen, this actress has a harmless fleshy face, and when she attends the event, she speaks softly and softly, and does not look like a abuser at all.
However, A, who claimed to be a witness, said that Xu Suizhen was a little sister, who often smoked and drank with the, robbed other people's school uniforms, and extorted money.
Her sister and her friends have all been bullied by Xu Suizhen, and A said that the sisters were once shouted by Xu Suizhen to slap each other in the bathroom.
At first, Xu Suizhen's company also issued a statement denying the idea of campus bullying, but this move attracted more victims to break the news.
There were revelations that Xu Suizhen had openly extorted money from his classmates.
It is said that she snatched the new down jacket bought by others and slapped her classmates in public.
There are also said that she bullied her classmates to transfer schools.
Even South Korean child star Xu Xin'ai posted that "your splendid spring is a cold winter for me, a cruel and long night."
It is reported that Xu Xin'ai and Xu Suizhen are middle school classmates, and insiders broke the news that Xu Xin'ai had also suffered from Xu Suizhen's bullying for a long time.
The news once fermented, public opinion could not be controlled, some fans directly sent flower baskets to Xu Suizhen's brokerage company, which said "learning violence is not self-examination but withdrawal from the group."
The agency saw that the wind was one-sided, and could only issue another statement, saying that it would interrupt Xu Suizhen's acting activities.
However, the big mistake has been made, and the girls who have been bullied cannot be soothed by their inner pain.
For example, Quan Min'e, a member of the girl group who has been bullied.
She once revealed in the live broadcast that she suffered a group sexual assault in middle school.
Kwon Min'e recounted the process of her own assault in the live broadcast, because she was worried about the whereabouts of her classmates in junior high school, she accompanied the other party to a place, and after coming to an empty room, she was beaten with beer bottles and fists by a group of male predecessors who were one or two years older than herself, and then suffered collective aggression from male predecessors.
Quan Min'e said that because of the collective violation of a group of male predecessors, resulting in her inability to walk upright on the way home, almost crawling back home, after returning home afraid of her parents to know, with clothes to cover the bruised blood, Quan Min'e's description made many netizens feel sad.
At the same time, Quan Min'e also revealed that this group of male predecessors are very famous local people, as long as their names are reported, everyone will know, after the fact, Quan Min'e asked the other party to apologize, and after getting an apology, Quan Min'e chose to forgive and did not call the police.
Choosing to forgive the people who have hurt themselves makes many netizens puzzled, but as a party, Quan Min'e did not pursue, although she chose to forgive, but the pain she has caused cannot be erased, and netizens are also very distressed about the pain that Quan Min'e encountered in the first half of her life.
Not only was the junior high school violated, in July 2020, Quan Min'e revealed that she was bullied by the group captain Shen Zhimin for more than ten years during her time as a trainee, and continued to suffer from the bullying and verbal violence of the captain after the debut of the group, resulting in psychological problems, and finally chose to quit the group and cut her wrists many times.
For Kwon Min-e, captain Shin Ji-min's decade-long bullying was worse than the collective violation of male predecessors in junior high school, and after Kwon Min-e exposed her bullying, Shin Ji-min first posted a response saying that this was a novel and refused to apologize, so that Kwon Min-e was repeatedly hurt.
Because of too much pain, on January 18, Kwon Min'e posted her diagnosis certificate in the psychiatric department, and the doctor wrote that "from February 2016 to March 20, 2018, the patient continued to have more serious symptoms such as severe depression, emotional ups and downs, uneasiness, anxiety", and Kwon Min'e also said that even taking medicine was useless, and now she was both miserable and dirty.
Quan Min'e's current mental state is indeed not good, which comes from the pain and suffering she suffered in the first half of her life, netizens are also very distressed about this, I hope that she can slowly recover better and better, and also hope that every girl can protect herself.
So, the question is, why do Korean actors and Aidou like bullying so much?
In fact, these tragic events are inseparable from the development of South Korea's deformed entertainment industry.
Because the entertainment industry is developing well, many teenagers want to become artists, and the hottest is the "trainee training" market.
Most of the trainees start from elementary school, and they are selected by the brokerage company to sign a contract to start practicing, and the training cycle ranges from 2 to 8 years.
The training is very cruel, militarized training, debuts if it meets the requirements of the company, and has been unknown if it does not meet.
Corporal punishment is often the case.
Hit the legs bruised, can not go to the toilet can not squat.
Corporal punishment is over, but also mental brainwashing.
As long as they resist, they will consume the will of the trainees by cutting off food, cutting off water, doubling training, etc., until they obey.
The star artists trained by such a system are only committed to the brokerage company in all matters.
From this point of view, violence in the Korean entertainment industry is almost an unwritten unspoken rule.
Do you think that's the end of it? No, after the spiritual pressure, the material is still deducted, and the division between the agency and the artist is mostly 9:1, just like a million activities, the company takes away 900,000, and the artist only has 100,000.
Imagine that the "commodity" under such a deformed industrial chain is getting farther and farther away from "people", chasing only fame and profit, interlocking, and forming a Korean entertainment circle that is now "eating people".
What do you think about this?
