This isnt a surprise but the amount of detail going public is, these guys are screwed. Good riddance!

as much as I love the spread of Korean culture and this rise of Korean entertainment really taking a foot hold in other parts of the world. This story absolutely sickens me, I can't see myself really listening to any K POP or watching any K Drama if this stuff happens in the background with not a single one of us realizing it...

It's unfortunate that Korean actors and performers don't have much rights in their business...

Two years probation? You've got to be fucking kidding me...

Might as well tell other sex offenders, "hey guys, we gonna punish you if you do this, but just for two months, but no jail time!". So I guess you can do it many times you want.

South Korea's law is a complete joke.

I'm not surprised it happened, just the quantity of perps involved. 31 ppl over 100 times is a lot, raising it to the level of a massive conspiracy imo. I wonder what stopped her from saying no?

Perverted men abusing their power. Disgusting. My question is, why didn't she just leave or go to the police. Or maybe she couldn't?

The sad thing is, she had to resort to suicide because she somehow just couldn't tell others (whether it was pressure or whether she was too scared, etc., who knows?). Also surprising that this occurred such a long time ago, but it's definitely good that this be shown as what it truly is.


I can only imagine the situation. She must of been completely hopeless, being that she committed suicide while she was supporting her brother and sister. A story like this really gets to me since there's this general feeling of hopelessness i get from it.

What do you guys expect in a country with a patriarchal society that has had virtually no Women's Rights Movement?? Hell, similar things happen here in the US (though to a lesser extent I'm sure). You can't expect anything better in a male dominated society.

I don't know the names of any of these people, but looking at the job descriptions it seems like this woman was being used as a call girl for big wigs in the Korean entertainment industry. I hope their companies do the right thing and not just fire them but ban them for life

yes, it's been hinted at by many people and pretty obvious this isn't so uncommon

One of the guys on the list is the 24th richest person in Korea

I believe a common route is to have film evidence/ pictures you can easily release and ruin their life etc. Even speaking out against it wouldn't work in Korean Culture. It seems they tend to "hush" things up like this instead of dealing with it. Especially as they try to be more international.

RIP

There other suicides of actresses in the past if I remember correctly (like Lee Eun Joo (이은주) from the drama Firebird (불새)). I remember reading that her suicide had to do with some kind of nude pictures and/or some kind of sexual concern which led to depression and eventually death. Reading about this actress, I didn't know the problem with secretly forced sex was this big.

I really hope the Korean police force bring these criminals to justice and prevent future suicides of wonderful actresses.

Wow that is really unfortunate, I feel deeply sorry for her.

@Kinky - Thanks for linking that, that blog was an eyeopener and a 5/5 read. At first I was incredibly shocked to hear Jang Ja-Yeon's story, but after reading the blog I'm a little less traumatized.

unfortunately this is common place in the korean entertainment industry from what i am aware. lower-tier actresses/singers have to work the 'hard' way to get to the top.

the documents with the 31 names came out this week and reported on the 8 o'clock news. part of the bigger problem as the original investigation in which the police ignored it in the first place, thus leading to a really minor sentence for the 2 on probation. the authorities didn't try to help, they just kept "hush hush" about it too.
