Red Star Watch | Why do Korean artists commit suicide frequently?

Unexpectedly, the first month of 2021 is not over yet, and there is news of artist suicide in Korean entertainment circle: 26-year-old Korean actress Song Youting committed suicide at home; Iron, a 29-year-old hip-hop singer, died in a pool of blood, and South Korean police have ruled out homicide.
In recent years, the news of Korean artists’ suicide one after another is impressive. There are many Korean artists who suddenly left by "suicide" in Li Enzhu, Cui Zhenshi, Zhang Ziyan and recently Sulli. What are the reasons behind this surprising news?
Another Korean female artist is suicidal, only 26 years old.
Song youting, a 26-year-old Korean actress, committed suicide at home on January 23rd.
Song Yiting entered the entertainment circle as a model, and in 2013, he started the drama road with the drama "Golden Rainbow". Since then, he has performed "Speak Your Wish", "School 2017" and "Dear My Name". At present, the police have not announced the reasons for Song’s suicide.
The last update time of her social platform was December 30 last year, but she smiled sweetly at the camera. Nowadays, her beautiful figure can only be recalled through photos and films, which is infinitely embarrassing.

At the same time, Iron, the third runner-up of South Korea’s popular variety SHOW ME THE MONEY, also died on January 25, when security guards found him lying in the flower bed of an apartment in central Seoul, and he died after being taken to the hospital. According to the latest news, the South Korean police announced that the investigation of Iron’s death was over and homicide was ruled out.
Li Enzhu, Cui Zhenshi, Zhang Ziyan and Sulli … all chose this way to leave.
In fact, tragedies like Song Youting are not unfamiliar in South Korea. Every once in a while, the Korean entertainment industry will hear the news of artists committing suicide.
In 2005, Li Enzhu, a 25-year-old Korean actress, committed suicide in her apartment. Most of the reasons for her suicide were that she suffered from online violence due to shooting a large-scale nude play, which led to her depression.

In 2007, 26-year-old singer U-Nee and 27-year-old actor Zheng Duobin hanged themselves.
In 2008, Cui Zhenshi, Han Xing, who performed Korean dramas "look for a star" and "Rose Life", was suspicious of online negative comments and depression, and hanged himself in the bathroom of his apartment at the age of 39. His younger brother Cui Zhenying and her ex-husband Zhao Chengmin also committed suicide in 2010 and 2013 respectively.
Jin-sil Choi
Only one day after Cui Zhenshi committed suicide, South Korean star Zhang Caiyuan, who was maliciously slandered for sex-change surgery, was also found hanging herself in the bathroom at home at the age of 26.
In 2009, Zhang Ziyan, a Korean actress, committed suicide by hanging her neck in the Pentangjia Village of Gyeonggi Province at the age of 26. Later, the suicide note disclosed by the media revealed that she had been forced to provide sexual services to many people, including those who worked in planning companies, financial institutions and broadcasting companies. Ten years after Zhang Ziyan’s death, in 2019, South Korean President Moon Jae in ordered a thorough investigation into the incident.
Jang Ja-Yeon
In 2011, Korean actress Han Caiyuan hanged herself at her home in Seoul, South Korea at four o’clock in the morning. Before her death, she wrote on her personal homepage: "I don’t want to hurt anymore, I don’t want to cry anymore … There are many things more important than money in this world … I can solve them as long as I succeed, but … alas!"
In 2017, Kim Jonghyun, a member of SHINee, a male singing group belonging to SM Entertainment with Sulli, was found to have committed suicide by burning charcoal in an apartment in Seoul, and died after being sent to hospital at the age of 27. Kim Jonghyun wrote in his suicide note: Depression eventually swallowed me up, and I couldn’t overcome it. I was just a lonely person. What more needs to be said? Just tell me that you have worked hard. Even if you can’t smile, please don’t blame me for sending me away.
Kim Jonghyun
In 2019, South Korean singer and actor Sulli committed suicide at home. She has revealed more than once that she had suffered from social phobia and panic disorder. After the news of love came out, she suffered from malicious messages and various rumors and temporarily suspended her performing arts activities.
Sulli
South Korea has enacted the Suicide Prevention Act.
Suicide is also a social problem in South Korea. Suicide has become the fifth leading cause of death for Koreans, after cancer, heart disease, pneumonia and cerebrovascular disease.
Statistics show that the main causes of Korean suicide are mental and economic aspects. Korean society generally believes that economic conditions are more important than personal happiness, and the whole society evaluates people with academic performance, company position, KPI and other rankings, which makes people feel great pressure.
According to South Korea’s "Central Daily News", in order to further prevent suicide, the South Korean government first formulated and published the pan-government "National Action Plan for Suicide Prevention" in 2018. In 2019, the newly revised Suicide Prevention Law of the Korean government came into effect. According to the law, anyone who uses the Internet to share suicide advice or attempts to conclude a suicide agreement will face up to two years’ imprisonment or a fine of up to 20 million won (about 116,900 yuan).
According to Korea Radio International, the South Korean government will conduct an in-depth analysis of the impact of celebrity suicides, and at the same time cooperate with the entertainment industry to develop suicide prevention projects to further improve suicide prevention countermeasures. Considering the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the public, the Korean government has also increased various psychological support. However, to reduce the suicide rate, more efforts and persistence are needed.

Activate night economy! Take you to visit the fashion models, literary styles and freshness of Zhengzhou’s three nightlife circles.

  [If you open the column]

  Some people say that in the adult world, life is during the day and life is at night.

  For example, in the watery night, it is easy to remove the disguise and fatigue, or have a drink with two or three friends, or take a walk with your wife and children, so that life can return to your true self. In this way, the night economy and night culture have survived forever and have been passed down to this day.

  Recently, the Central Civilization Office issued a document. In order to cope with the impact of the epidemic, in this year’s national civilized city evaluation index, the occupation of roads, road markets and mobile vendors will not be listed as the evaluation contents of civilized cities, and the "stall economy" has triggered a hot discussion throughout the network; In the past few days, many places have issued policies to support the development of the night economy and the preservation of the fireworks at night.

  What is the current situation of night economy development in various parts of Henan Province? What bottlenecks have you encountered in the development process? How to plan development in the future? Is the "stall economy" of the hot network a flash in the pan or can it really be standardized and developed into a new normal? From now on, Dahe Daily has launched a series of planning reports "Travel Notes at Night", which today presents a heavy nightlife visit in Zheng, Bian and Luo.

  [Visiting the North City] While rolling around, the dog blows cool wind from Beilonghu.

  Coordinates: Longhuli

  "After a long time, I finally want to look up, and you will wait for me on the other side. You are still mine, mine and mine …"

  On the evening of June 2nd, the last sunset glow in the sky glowed with yellow macaroon color, and the lights on Longhuli Commercial Street surrounded by Beilonghu and Dongfeng Canal were on. The young singer played the keyboard and sang Chen Li’s "Walking Horse".

  With music as the boundary, there is a brightly lit open-air market to the north, and all kinds of colorful little things are placed in stalls of exquisite literature and art. Whether it is a traditional dough kneader or fairy wand in online celebrity, it is always more tempting in the night than in the daytime, and people can’t help but stop to read it. The high value and the price of civilians are easy for buy buy to buy if they are not careful.

  Going south, there is a large open-air dining. After a busy day’s life, everyone gathered here from all directions, either because of friendship, or because of love, or even if it is still to maintain work, with a cool glass of beer, everyone unloaded the burden in the night. It’s a beautiful day to be able to slap a dog while stringing.

  As the first commercial entity in Beilonghu area to enter the market and operate, Longhuli has set up a new way to open Zhengzhou nightlife to a certain extent.

  "I don’t understand the darkness of night during the day! I heard that it is very good here, and I specially came to sit with my friends. " Mr. Zhao, a citizen, told Dahe Daily that the traditional open-air barbecue always seems to be associated with dirty mess, but Longhu not only retains the freedom and carefree of the traditional open-air barbecue, but also is relatively cleaner, which is very suitable for young people to get together. Surrounded by water system here, although you can’t see it, it seems that you can feel the cool wind blowing from the side of Beilong Lake when you sit down.

  In addition to the relatively new overall planning, the department also arranged for a special person to clean up the garbage. A cleaning aunt told reporters that they should always keep the ground clean and tidy, and cleaning will not get off work until 1 am.

  Liu Pengge, the chairman of Henan Longhuli Commercial Management Co., Ltd. said that Longhuli was opened to the outside world in units of stores, which was different from the collective opening of traditional businesses at a certain time. On December 8, 2018, Grain Rain Yun, Banqiu, TIMCHA, JHW and other stores opened one after another. Longhuli Commercial District covers an area of 46,000m2, and there are currently 28 shops in operation, including 5 investment brands and 23 self-operated brands.

  [Visiting Dongcheng] Why do you walk at night? "I’m tired, I’m coming, I’m all right, I’m leaving."

  Coordinates: Haihui Center

  If Longhuli is an emerging petty bourgeoisie gathering place, then the Haihui Center, which opened in 2017, is relatively more mature in temperament. In addition to the traditional brand restaurants such as Haidilao and Starbucks, various distinctive light and luxurious bars may be the ultimate magic weapon to attract young people and gather people at night.

  "I’m tired, I’m coming, I’m ready, I’m leaving", which is a slogan written on the wall in a bar in Haihui Center, which may explain why many people like to go out at night. Unlike traditional bars, which always sell wine by the dozen, and the price is quite high, these places focus on bar culture and catering characteristics, and the prices of various wines are very transparent. The special beers from France, Denmark, Germany, the United States, Britain and other places are placed in huge freezers, and consumers can choose by themselves. Together with two or three friends, they can taste beer from the three countries for less than 100 yuan.

  The other one specializes in all kinds of craft beer. On the wall of the store or on the T-shirt of the waiter, their store advertised that "when the world panicked, only the fine wine was with me".

  Beer can be Chinese and western, and it is a "perfect match" with spicy crayfish or steak.

  "We are not drinking wine, but the night in Zhengzhou." A consumer said.

  "Eating is not just eating, but a healing process." Another consumer said.

  While the night was just right, three or five friends ate and chatted, and when they looked up, they saw a full moon in the sky. After eating and drinking enough, I left for a walk, only to find that a street singer was singing Jay Chou not far away, and I couldn’t help sitting on the steps for a while. At that moment, you might really feel how beautiful the night in Zhengzhou is.

  As an old-fashioned night market in Zhengzhou, Jiankang Road Night Market has renewed its energy, and every night, it is full of fireworks. Recently, in order to respond to the call of Zhengzhou City to build a night economy and restore the market economy affected by the epidemic as soon as possible, the High-tech Zone Management Committee and Langyue Park Mao launched the activity of "Ximei High-tech High-tech Night Lane", which attracted many citizens.

  The night market street is set in a square, where the main theme is trends, cultural creation and fashion. There are not many booths, but they are exquisite and very romantic after being decorated with lights.

  In addition to the cultural and creative market, there are also many contents such as catering, street music, open-air movies and so on. Both adults and children can find their own fun.

  In order to help merchants to resume business and economic recovery, the High-tech Zone Management Committee will also invest about 12.25 million yuan in fashion coupons and blessing bags to stimulate the night economic development of the High-tech Zone.

  [Management] Enriching cultural activities at night is more active at night than during the day

  Recently, the development of night economy has become a "hot word". From the national level to the Zhengzhou level, a series of policies have been issued to support the development of night economy. "Because of the epidemic, the catering industry has suffered an unprecedented severe test." Liu Pengge said, however, in an extraordinary period, there must be extraordinary efforts and attempts. For example, by increasing and optimizing the take-away service, forming a community to share food and joy, and providing safer and more secure delivery services, it has accumulated a reputation for the opening of the restaurant and the resumption of normal business. "For now, the activity in some business districts at night is higher than during the day. The domestic epidemic prevention and control situation is stable, and the arrival of summer has also enabled the activation of the night economy to have more positive climatic conditions and consumer psychology, and the passenger flow has obviously improved. "

  [saying] to spread the economy, parity, fashion and characteristics can retain people better.

  What is the current operation of the open-air market, also known as the "stall economy"?

  During the reporter’s visit, I learned that many stall owners will give priority to small items that are cheap, fashionable, distinctive and valuable, such as headdresses, various cultural and creative products, mosquito repellent and umbrellas. In the process of shopping, people may "buy at will".

  "Introducing cultural and creative brand businesses and promoting stall economy is one of the ways to build a landmark commercial night economy and cultivate a diversified new market for night consumption." Liu Pengge introduced that the summer night market will become the normal state of Longhuli block.

  According to Huang Yongsheng, Commercial Manager of Gongyuan Mao, Gaoxin Night Lane has continuously attracted people from the Hi-tech Zone to experience food and participate in interaction since its opening. Only at the event site, the average daily passenger flow exceeded 20,000.

The park officially opened on New Year’s Day! Tangxiang Park, a sports theme, debuted.

The transformation of Tangxiang Park not only meets the needs of residents, but also adheres to the ecological bottom line. According to the difference of transformation strength and human disturbance, the plot is divided from south to north.leisure sportEcological symbiosisandEcological wildernessThree ecological areas.

What’s the difference between university life in Britain?

What’s the difference between university life in Britain? I believe this is a concern of many students who are preparing to study abroad, so let’s talk about it in the following small series. If you are interested, please hurry down and learn about it.

What's the difference between university life in Britain?

The cost of living in Britain varies from region to region:

Generally speaking, the living expenses in Britain mainly include: clothing, food, housing, transportation, medical insurance and personal consumption. The cost of living given by British officials is generally divided into two types: London area and non-London area. The cost of living in London is about 810 pounds per month, and the cost of living in non-London is about 610 pounds per month. Therefore, students studying in London, such as London School of Economics and Political Science, King’s College of London, University College of London, Imperial College London, Royal holloway University, etc., have a great life pressure.

The cost of living in Britain varies from person to person:

Because every student who comes to Britain has a different lifestyle, the cost is also different. If students live on campus, the weekly rent is generally 60-90 pounds, while it is 10-20 pounds higher in London. If students rent a house locally, the cost is relatively high and low. The average student spends 110 pounds a month on food. Others such as transportation and pocket expenses, 130 pounds a month is the average expense. From this, it can be roughly inferred that China’s living expenses for nine months are usually around 4,500-5,500.

The tuition fee is really divided into regions. In fact, the reasonable algorithm is calculated on a weekly basis. The basic accommodation is 110-130 pounds a week, and the cheaper one will be relatively unfair. Living expenses cooking by yourself is relatively cheap. The overall cost is controlled at around 200 pounds a week. Accommodation in London ranges from 150 to 200. The difference in living expenses will be calculated again. In other words, it doesn’t cost too much to eat. Mainly accommodation+tuition. Therefore, in non-London areas, it is basically 900 pounds a month, and London is basically around 1200-1500.

20w~35w There is not much difference between undergraduate and graduate students.

British undergraduate tuition fees are determined according to the differences between schools and regions. Tuition fees will vary greatly according to different majors. Generally speaking, liberal arts tuition is low, ranging from 8,000 to 10,000 pounds per year; Business 9500–12000 pounds/year; Higher science, 12,000-15,000 pounds/year; Medical science is higher, at 13,000-20,000 pounds/year-

British undergraduate tuition fees vary greatly according to different schools, cities and majors. Generally speaking, the tuition in Britain is increasing by 5% every year, so the tuition is more expensive every year. British undergraduate tuition is generally converted into RMB between 120,000 and 180,000 on average every year except for some business, media and medical courses, and the annual cost plus living expenses is about 300,000-350,000.

So that’s what’s different about university life in the UK. The above content is shared with you as a reference, hoping to help students in need. If there are more things you want to know, you can pay attention to this platform and continue browsing.
