Zhang Ziyan was born in a wealthy family in 1980 and should have been the envy of everyone.
However, at the age of 16, fate played a cruel joke on her - she lost her parents, and the originally happy family collapsed in an instant.
Subsequently, at the hands of greedy relatives, she and her sister lost all their possessions, and fell from a former daughter to a poor orphan.
Faced with the pressure of life, Zhang Ziyan had to go out to work in order to survive, and her outstanding appearance attracted the attention of talent scouts, thus knocking on the door of the showbiz for her.
After stepping into the entertainment industry, Zhang Ziyan originally hoped to get rid of poverty, but soon found herself in a predicament from which she could not get out. Her agency sees her as a "shared object" and forces her to accompany multiple powerful people, an act that is essentially exploitative of her.
Zhang Ziyan was allegedly forced to accompany 31 men, an encounter repeated more than a hundred times, each time a huge damage to her dignity.
In order to improve the so-called "work efficiency", the agency even forced Zhang Ziyan to undergo sterilization, which is a serious violation of her basic human rights.
Even during her menstrual period or when she was unwell, she was not able to get a break, and even in the days of commemoration of her deceased parents, she was not immune to being taken advantage of.
These ruthless acts have taken a toll on her physical and mental health.
In March 2009, Zhang Ziyan, who couldn't bear all this, chose to end her life. The release of her suicide note, which detailed the abuse she had suffered, shook Korea society and sparked widespread attention and discussion.
The tragedy of Zhang Ziyan prompted the Korea government and society to reflect on and take measures to strengthen the protection of artists' rights and interests, and set up a special agency to supervise artist contracts and regulate industry behavior.
The public has also begun to look at the entertainment industry with a more rational and critical eye, paying attention to the hardships and challenges behind the stars.
Zhang Ziyan's story is not just a personal tragedy, it reveals the problems that exist in society as a whole. While change takes time, her story has sparked deep reflection and positive action on the injustices in the entertainment industry.
In order to prevent similar tragedies from happening again, each of us should have the courage to speak out and work together to uphold social fairness and justice.
