Parts of korean culture are really upsetting. It really explains Nkorea a lot more clearly as you get more familiar with it. While it's polite and overall good, it has a little too much "yes master" in it with regards to people in higher positions being able to abuse those "below/younger" than them. | ||

Abuse/prostitute/rape an employee for years Match fix SC games same probation time. Also just an FYI, entertainers in Korea generally get screwed over in Contracts. From SNSD to anyone else the contract law in korea for entertainers is nonexistent. Companies can literally own their entertainer employees in Korea. For instance if an SNSD member quits, she becomes instantly bankrupt (must pay back all money spent on SNSD) and blacklisted from every network in korea. They also must act in accordance with their companies wishes (slavery). The entertainer laws in Korea also do not give any protection to people under 18. So it's legal to work them 15 hours a day or whatever you basically want, they are basically property (SC:BW/Trainees). So basically if I started a company in Korea, I could sign 12 year olds, sign them to 30 year contracts, and work them 20 hours a day as long as they are classified as entertainers. If they ever break the contract it can have wording they must pay me back any ammount of money I wish. Hence SNSD have contracts 15 years/indefinite from when they where 12 and if they quit they lose any money they have, plus because of SM entertainments power, they will be blacklisted forever. | ||

Because she was in a horrible situation. She was trying to feed her two siblings, and the only way she figured out how was to perform sex favors to get a chance at acting. Then she hated herself for doing it, but couldn't stand seeing her siblings starve to death either. It was either quit and watch her siblings starve, continue and have to screw dirty old perverts for favors, or kill herself and thereby not have to see her siblings starve nor deal with dirty old pervs. She killed herself. It's logical and really fucking tragic. Life sucks sometimes. | ||

The laws in Korea are really fucked up only 2 years is too little but what she did is what many singers/entertainers do to climb up the ladder. If the law says its only 2 years then the law is made to blame the victim cause it doest seem to be any real justice. | ||

Mom and dad were pretty pissed at the police officers for ignoring her records of the favors. It wasn't suicide for no reason..... | ||

It's just so sad to see something like this happen, and absolutely NO ONE knew about it, simply because she didn't have much of a choice to tell anyone or not. Some people are just so fucked up, that I'm gonna go so far to say that they do not even deserve to live; seeing that they are not even humans in the first place. Absolutely disgusting. | ||

From that blog: Alot of the actresses that aren't so famous are for sale on a high-end prostitution black market among korean CEO's. 10k **** yo! Pretty horrible that these things are known quite a bit throughout Korea yet action is slow and stumbling to deal with it... hoping that things change in the future. | ||

Glad to see it get some news. Hopefully there'll be some reforms or changes, and they won't just get away with just a slap on the wrist. Can someone link the original article? Didn't see it linked in the OP. I'm interested in how this will develop. | ||
