Babe For Life

Was watching Entertainment News on KBS last night, and it reported the passing on of Actor Park Yong Ha. He was found died in his own room by his mother. All his friends said he kept to himself a lot, and no one sense that he was actually facing deep problems of his own.

As there are many cases of Korean stars taking their own life, the host said something that left deep impression.

'Everyone want to be a star, but only 1% can make it. A star looks very glamorous on the outside, but he can be the most lonely person in the world. He does not have many friends, people around him are mostly artistes, which tabloid are forever eyeing on juicy news. And if he gets betrayed by his 'trusted friend', it causes him to fall into deeper despair.'

This is quite depressing. Everyone idolised on the job, but they never see the hard work behind it. This does not only applies to artistes in Korea, but everywhere in the whole world. Lost of freedom in almost everything. Can not express themselves freely, as the media will jump onto any mistakes they said, can not put on weight (unless they were debuted right at the start), as they might lost fans who idolise their looks. Can not make friends easily, as they do not know these people are really friends, or just making use of them.

I am glad that I am just who I am.
