Jang Ja Yeon's Letters Reveal Forced Sex With 31 Guests
Jang Ja Yeon, known for her role in Boys Over Flowers, shocked the industry when she committed suicide in 2009 after being sexually abused.
SBS 8 O’clock News got hold of her letters recently and reported: "Jang Ja Yeon entertained a total of 31 people 100 times - being forced to give sexual favors."
In her letters, she said, "I had no way to get out of the situation. The men who came for me are the devils. Whenever I put on new clothes, I had to meet another devils. Not just in Kangnam, but I also hosted at Suwon Karaoke and various room salons. Even on my parents’ memorial day, I was forced to host. Since I made a list, avenge me to the death."
It is an unspoken secret that the glamorous entertainment industry is dirty. At best, celebrities are invited as eye candy at drinking parties. Some are forced into sex to become famous or avoid being sued as the 'slave' entertainment contract gave them no recourse except suicide.
Jang Ja Yeon’s death brings the scandal into the open. The police who were investigating knew of this fact but chose to overlook it. Jang Ja Yeon asked for ‘revenge’ in the document.
It is very sad to see such sex exploitation. Even Korean celebs are infuriated. MBLAQ’s Mir Mir tweeted, "Those 31 dirty scoundrels must have daughters too, right? It angers me to think that they’d be having dinner with their daughters as if everything is fine."

NYP Student Wong Jiong Yang Arrested for Working As Geylang Pimp
Wong Jiong Yang, a Nanyang Polytechnic student, was caught working as a pimp for 3 Thai prostitutes under him. He would keep $5 from every $50 the women charged each customer for sex.
His part-time stint came to an abrupt end when his ‘co-workers’ told on him to the police after being arrested.
Yesterday, Wong pleaded guilty to two counts of living off the earnings of two prostitutes and one count of managing a place of assignation.
Speaking of pimps, last month, a former SEA Games taekwondo gold medalist was fined $29,000 for pimping. He arranged for women from Uzbekistan to be flown over for prostitution through his Uzbekistani wife Shirinbekova Yelena.
Singapore sex industry is really booming and providing good jobs for the locals - pimps, loan shark runners (SAF captain earning $5k a month), etc.
Wong Jiong Yang may not be alone in being enticed by the good and easy money in the vice trade. Parents have to be careful where their kids are earning part time income. Police should also step up enforcement and education to guide our youth to the right path.
Richard Li Breaks Silence on Split with Isabella Leong
After Isabella Leong Lok-si announced her split with Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li Tzar-kai last week, the latter has now come out to "clear the air."
There has been talk that the 23 year old singer-actress was paid HK$500 million in the breakup. Richard Li refuted the breakup settlement or "cash for children" motive and only commit to giving his three sons the best upbringing.
The children are Ethan, born in Canada in April 2009, and twins born in San Francisco in June last year.
Richard Li also denied any third party - Malaysian-American model-actress Mandy Lieu in particular - wrecking their marriage.
The couple met on 'The Mummy 3' film set after being introduced by actress Michelle Yeoh. It was a "perfect" match - Isabella Leong a beautiful rising starlet while Richard Li has the cash (about HK$8.6 billion).
However, their relationship was far from smooth sailing. Isabella Leong did not adapt well to the rich family's rules. She met her old flame in a Canadian bar which caused Richard Li much embarrassment.
Isabella Leong also likes to share private photos of herself and her sons on Facebook but the media attention was not welcomed by the Li family. They tried to resolve their misunderstandings but to no avail.
Marrying into a rich family may be glamorous and ensure your future is well taken care of, but there are so many suffocating rules to abide... no guarantee of living happily ever after.
