We are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the victim “, The police announced, adding that they suspect an extreme choice.
According to the Korean National Statistical Office, suicide remains the main cause of death among young people (aged between 10 and 39 years). The artists, in particular, who endure enormous pressure at work, public control and requests from the entertainment industry – are higher at risk.
Over the years, the South Korean entertainment industry has witnessed numerous tragic extreme choices, including Jonghyun (Shinee, 2017), Suli (2019), Goo Hara (2019), Moonbin (Astro, 2023) and more recently, Lee Sun-Kyun actor (Parasite2023).
These heartbreaking cases have left an audience in shock, highlighting the alarming negligence of the mental health of the artists, while the pressure of the sector continue to assemble.
Professor Kim Ji-Yung, psychology expert at Soul National University, commented, “Frequent suicides in the entertainment sector are not only individual tragedies but reflect systemic failures. When the stress of work, public criticisms and pressure from the management companies become overwhelming, many artists do not find any way out. “
Meanwhile, Professor Lee Do-Hyun, a psychologist from Yonsei University, observed that Korean artists undergo rigorous formation from a young age and face extreme pressure due to initial fame. Management companies control every aspect of their lives, from appearance and weight to the exhausting work programs.
“Many artists are treated as machines to make money. They must maintain an impeccable image, work tirelessly and have no control over their personal life. When they cannot satisfy these non -realistic expectations, they are prone to anxiety and depression,“He said to the media The times of Korea.
Because Korean artists are probably victims
The phenomenon of artists that is canceled and forced to leave the sector after the scandals has become a “signature of the Korean budget”. While experts continually warn the devastating impact of cyberbullying, online violence persists, leading to tragic results.
In the last year, Song Jae-Rioca, known for his role in “Moon that embraces the sun” “He was found dead at home, leaving a suicide note of two pages that aroused debates on the issues of the sector.
The suicide of the Lee Sun-Kyun actor in his car has also fueled long-lasting discussions. At the time he was hard criticized due to a drug investigation. His request to be a The victim of Blackmail was ignored, only for the public to express regret after his death.
Korea Times observes that South Korea has an extremely hard social media culture, in which artists are easily targeted by harmful comments. The scandals, no matter how large or small, can lead to a complete fall, making immense psychological pressure on celebrities.
“Online bullying is a serious problem in South Korea. The public is ready to judge artists without considering the consequences. For those who are already under extreme work stress, online attacks can be the final drop “, Dr. Choi Min-Seok, an expert in digital culture studies.
Meanwhile, Professor Park Sung-Ho, a psychiatry specialist, stressed that many artists work in relentless programs, sometimes sleeping only a few hours a day. The lack of rest, combined with the pressure to be successful, leads to tiredness, anxiety and depression, making them more vulnerable to public control.
“Artists are at high risk for mental health problems such as depression and anxiety disorders. However, many entertainment companies do not yet give priority to mental health support for their talents “, He observed Professor Park Sung-Ho.
Given the growing concern, experts suggest improving the work environment and providing better support for mental health to artists. “Entertainment companies should have internal psychologists to support artists during difficult periods. The authorities must also impose more severe measures against harmful comments to protect the dignity and mental well -being of celebrities “, He urged.
In addition, Professor Park underlined the need for a social change, “The public must understand that artists are human beings who sometimes make mistakes. We cannot let these tragedies continue. We have to act now before it’s too late. “
