The general consensus was that the late actress, Jang Ja Yeon took her life because of stress, netizen pressure or on-going depression from her parents’ death… but no. Evidence has emerged saying she was physically and sexually abused by the big wigs in the Korean entertainment industry.

Jang Ja Yeon’s former manager is being questioned by police while he is in hospital. Three plain-clothed policemen entered Mr Yoo’s ward at 4:30pm on the 14th, where they apparently told him “if you have something to say, then say it now”. The police are reported to have questioned him in relation to the now infamous documents.

BUT KBS ‘News at 9′ have apparently managed to get hold of certain leaked papers, and according to them, there was something terrible, something horrific going on. These are some of the extracts that were revealed:

Sexual harassment by a producer (PD) “… demanded I join him for golf and drinks. I had to drink with him in a room-saloon [Korean place for drinking and 'other things' that is a cross between a motel-room and a bar] and I was forced to sleep with him.”

When she went to her company to complain “I was locked in a room and beaten endlessly with fists and PET bottles… I was sent abusive text messages”


“As a newcomer, my income was small but I was forced to bear the responsibility for everything including my manager’s income level”

Ja Yeon apparently hand-wrote her story and asked her manager to expose the person responsible for her struggles. She told him didn’t want her family to think that she was driven to suicide, not just by personal depression but by darkness outside her.

Ja Yeon’s messages from beyond the grave include names of the person she mentioned plus at least one currently-active television producer. Her manager is yet to reveal specifics but he said it would be disturbing. These incidents were not one-off events but continuous abuses from as far back as a year ago right up until the week before her death.

If these names are revealed, the very foundations of Korean entertainment could be shaken. Although the police have declined to comment on the matter due to “personal privacy issues”, they have yet to deny that there is an investigation already underway.

KBS have also reported that the manager was receiving hospital care after attempted suicide in his apartment when he was found and rescued by an employee, apparently to avoid being targeted for his expositions.

Yoo has stated that he is going against the family’s wishes and wants to expose and punish Ja Yeon’s persecutors. As Yoo reappears, another producer in question has escape to Japan.

I’m going to be sick. However, I do hope that Jang Ja Yeon’s tragic death can help bring change in the entertainment industry they desperately need.

Rest in peace Jang Ja Yeon.
