Female stars always appear beautiful and have a rich life, making everyone think they are the happiest people. However, in Korean showbiz, many female stars have to endure the pain of being brutally beaten by their lovers and husbands, even leaving serious consequences.
Choi Jin Sil
Choi Jin Sil was once the top beauty of Kbiz in the 1990s with a series of famous films such as Dream of a Star, Flavor of Love, Love Letter, You and Me… However, her life ended at the age of 40, dragging tragedy to the next generation. The beginning of this tragedy was a wrong marriage. The actress was brutally abused by her husband and eventually had to divorce.

In 2000, at the peak of her career, Choi Jin Sil decided to marry baseball star Jo Sung Min – who was 5 years younger than her. After the “wedding of the century” held grandly at a luxury hotel, the famous actress temporarily stopped her career in Korea to follow her husband to Japan. At first, the couple’s newlywed life was very sweet, but later, Jo Sung Min gradually became hot-tempered, constantly venting his anger on his wife.

In 2004, the conflict between the couple reached its peak. The beauty of Dreaming of a Star was abused by her husband to the point of being hospitalized. The image of Choi Jin Sil, emaciated and covered in injuries lying in the hospital, made people feel extremely sorry for the once beautiful and cheerful beauty.
According to the local police, they had to intervene in Choi Jin Sil’s family affairs more than 10 times, but she still endured and continued to live together. “Even a worm will turn when stepped on too much”, Choi Jin Sil finally let go of her abusive husband and won custody of her two children.

After the divorce, Choi Jin Sil returned to the entertainment industry and achieved a series of successes. However, in 2008, she was suddenly suspected of being the indirect cause of the death of actor Ahn Jae Hwan. Rumors that Choi Jin Sil lent money to her friend at high interest rates, forced him to pay his debt, and pushed Ahn Jae Hwan to commit suicide spread on social media. Too miserable with the “brickbats” of netizens, Choi Jin Sil hanged herself at the age of 39 to prove her innocence.
At this point, the public was startled and felt sorry for the actress, but it was too late. The tragedy for the next generation also opened up from here. In 2010, Choi Jin Sil’s younger brother committed suicide and in 2013, her husband also committed suicide at the age of 39. Having to witness the passing of their loved ones, Choi Jin Sil’s two children suffered severe psychological trauma.

The actress’s first son – Choi Hwan Hee grew up strong and has now debuted as a solo singer. Her second daughter Choi Joon Hee gained weight, became ill and often had unstable mental actions, and was rumored to have gotten married at the age of 17. Choi Joon Hee also “exposed” her grandmother for being abusive, and was involved in a 44 billion VND lawsuit with her paternal family.
Luckily, Choi Joon Hee has now successfully lost weight and improved her relationship with her family. The actress’s daughter apologized to her grandmother: “I didn’t think things would go this far. It was all because I acted too rashly. I feel guilty and ashamed for hurting my grandmother. If she is in a better mood, I want to meet her in person to apologize.”

Goo Hara
Goo Hara was once a famous “living doll” of the 2nd generation of Kpop, a beauty that everyone loved, and owned a huge amount of real estate since she was very young. However, now, she has become a star in the sky for nearly 2 years. Behind her bright smile, the ill-fated singer had a miserable childhood, and the pain was even more compounded when her boyfriend secretly filmed her, threatened to release sensitive clips, and assaulted her until she had cervical bleeding.
In September 2018, Goo Hara announced the whole story of her assault by her ex-boyfriend Choi Jong Bum to Dispatch, and filed a lawsuit against this man. She appeared with a heavily bandaged face, causing the public to feel extremely heartbroken. Not only that, the images of bruises all over her body and a diagnosis of cervical bleeding shocked the public.

According to the doctor’s conclusion, Goo Hara suffered from vaginal and uterine bleeding, cervical rupture, facial bruising, a sprained calf, right forearm, and other injuries. No one could have imagined that someone would be so cruel to the “weak and fragile” singer. Yet the culprit was the person Goo Hara once loved the most. Not only that, Choi Jong Bum also threatened to release Goo Hara’s sensitive video, forcing the female idol to kneel down in the elevator to beg him.

In the midst of a tense lawsuit, Goo Hara attempted suicide in May 2019. At that time, she was saved in time, but by November 2019, the beautiful idol had passed away. Millions of fans across Asia were shocked and saddened by the beautiful but ill-fated idol. Goo Hara only lived 28 years in this world, but those were 28 years of suffering when she was abandoned by her mother, was loved and then became the target of “stones” for no reason, was brutally abused by the person she once loved, and witnessed the death of her best friend Sulli.

After the female idol passed away, her brother continued to pursue the lawsuit against Choi Jong Bum and tried to protect Goo Hara’s assets from falling into the hands of the mother who abandoned them when they were young. It was not until October 2015 that the Court sentenced Goo Hara’s ex-boyfriend to 1 year in prison for assault and threatening others. This sentence made people extremely angry because it was too light. Goo Hara’s brother also expressed disappointment, revealing that his ex-boyfriend was one of the indirect causes that pushed his sister’s life into tragedy.
To date, Goo Hara’s name has become hot again after the documentary Burning Sun: Exposing the secret K-pop chat groups aired. It turns out that the female idol is the important “final boss” who overthrew the Burning Sun empire and played the key role in opening the darkest corner of this case. Journalist Kang Kyung Yoon revealed that the late artist was the one who “opened the door” and helped her investigate the case when she was still confused and didn’t know where to start.
Investigative journalist Kang Kyung Yoon said that 5 years ago she had an unanswered question, which was the identity of the “Police Prosecutor General” in Seungri – Jung Joon Young’s obscene chat group. Goo Hara appeared in time and gave the appropriate answer, helping Kang Kyung Yoon in exposing the Burning Sun scandal. It turned out that the “Police Prosecutor General” was senior police officer Yoon Gyu Geum – who was later arrested on charges of bribery and acting as an intermediary for Burning Sun figures.

Goo Hara also helped the female reporter convince Choi Jong Hoon (former FT.Island member) to provide information about the scandal. BBC reported that Goo Hara’s brother overheard Goo Hara and Choi Jong Hoon’s conversation over the speakerphone. At that time, Goo Hara advised the male singer Choi: “Tell reporter Kang Kyung Yoon everything you know. Jong Hoon, I will try to help you. Tell reporter Kang what you know.”
The documentary revealed that Goo Hara has been close friends with Choi Jong Hoon since they were trainees. She also knew Seungri and Jung Joon Young. Because they were acquaintances, Goo Hara had seen the three artists using their phones and noticed unusual signs. The former Kara member once shared with reporter Kang: “I really noticed something very strange about them. Everything you said seems to be true.” Most importantly, those phones contained all the most disgusting evidence of the crimes of the group of depraved artists in sex chatrooms and chatrooms in collusion with high-ranking police.

In an interview with the BBC, journalist Kang Kyung Yoon recalled the moment she received Goo Hara’s offer of help: “I still remember her strong voice saying: ‘Reporter, this is Hara. I really want to help you.’ Now that I think about it, I feel very grateful for her help.”
Kang Kyung Yoon said Goo Hara was an extremely brave and enthusiastic girl: “Every time I talked to her, no matter what I said, she always insisted: ‘I want to help you too. Actually, I was a victim of revenge porn.’ I remember what she said very clearly.”

Lee Min Young
Lee Min Young was a famous actress in the 1990s with her role in Doctors. Despite her fresh and beautiful appearance, the actress was brutally assaulted by her husband on her honeymoon, causing her to miscarry and suffer injuries all over her body. This incident shocked Korean showbiz and is still considered the most scandalous divorce in the Korean entertainment industry.
In December 2006, she married her colleague, actor Lee Chan. At the wedding, the bride even cried with happiness. It was thought that the couple would be together forever, but tragedy quickly occurred because of actor Lee Chan’s violent behavior.

Just over a week after their lavish wedding, the couple returned from their honeymoon in Bali and announced their divorce. While people were still confused about the reason, the Korean media discovered that Lee Min Young was in the hospital with injuries all over her body.
The actress’s beautiful face was bruised, her eyes were swollen, her nose was tightly bandaged, and her arms and legs were bruised. What was even more shocking was that Lee Min Young’s family accused Lee Chan of beating his wife to the point of miscarriage.
She was brutally assaulted by her husband
The actress accused her husband of slapping her in the face, grabbing her hair and punching her repeatedly in the stomach, then dragging her out of the car and throwing her onto the street. As for Lee Chan, the actor firmly denied assaulting his wife: “We argued in the car. Min Young said that I got famous thanks to her, so I slapped her, but I didn’t punch her in the stomach or nose.”
After the lawsuit, Lee Chan was sentenced to 2 years of suspended imprisonment and 240 hours of community service. This sentence made netizens extremely angry because it was too light. Beating a woman is unacceptable, beating your wife to the point of miscarrying your own child is even more intolerable in the eyes of the public.
Park Hwan Hee
As a Korean drama “worm”, everyone will remember the cute nurse Choi Ji Min in Descendants of the Sun. Park Hwan Hee was born in 1990, got married at the age of 21 and divorced after only 1 year. Park Hwan Hee and rapper Bill Stax’s marriage was extremely stormy. The couple did not break up peacefully and often “fought” each other on social media.
Everything started when Bill Stax filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife for not providing 50 million won (1 billion VND) for child support, not visiting his son for 5 consecutive years, and not fulfilling her responsibilities as a mother. However, the actress “counter-sued”, accusing her ex-husband and his family of being the ones who prevented her from visiting her son.

Not only that, Park Hwan Hee also accused her ex-husband of frequently cursing, insulting, and brutally assaulting her during their 1 year of living together. Her father-in-law even chased and beat her, forcing the actress to flee.
She also exposed Bill Stax for publicly having an affair and remarrying right after the divorce, taking responsibility for raising the child but always obstructing, making things difficult, changing her phone number, and not allowing the Descendants of the Sun beauty to visit her child. Since October 2013, Park Hwan Hee has tried everything but has not been able to see her son.
