On the afternoon of October 14th, according to Korean media reports, Korean artist Cui Xueli was found hanging to death at her home in Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province today. The police are currently investigating the cause and confirming whether there is a suicide note left, which shocked the Internet for a while. The server is also in a crash state.
Netizens have many speculations about the reason for Cui Xueli's suicide, but the general consensus is that it is because of depression. It is understood that Shirley suffered from severe depression during her lifetime, and Shirley often posted some incomprehensible pictures on her social platform. In one of the photos, a netizen found the scar left by Shirley.
In the Korean entertainment industry, it seems that artist suicides are not uncommon. One of the most influential artist suicides before Shirley was Kim Jong-hyun, a member of a boy group. In 2017, Kim Jong-hyun was found to commit suicide by burning charcoal in his apartment. Kim Jong-hyun, who was born in 1990, lived forever at the age of 27.
Kim Jong-hyun committed suicide because of depression. He revealed in his suicide note that his depression has reached a very serious level. He always puts huge pressure on himself in his creation, fearing that his work will not satisfy fans. Although I thought about trying to overcome the illness, I still failed and chose this way to leave.
The suicide of artists is not uncommon in Korea more than a decade ago. In 2004, the famous Korean actress Choi Jin committed suicide. Before that, she had suffered a series of blows, suicides of friends and involvement in vicious rumors. It made her extremely bad physically and mentally, and eventually committed suicide.
In addition to these artists, Kim Ji-ho, Jung Da-bin, Jang Zi-yeon, Ahn Jae-hwan, etc. also all died of suicide, and almost everyone had a major or minor depression before his death.
No matter which industry there is, there will be a lot of pressure. We must self-regulate and don't let depression eat our lives.
