To pass the casting couch auditions we have heard about, they had better be.

#2,

“committed suicide in 2009 due to her coerced involvement in “casting couch” favors. ”

Seems like an understatement. Didn’t the agency she work with own a “room salon” in its building where the performers it represented would…”entertain”?

#2 as to your “Estrella” link
“I was pressured to ‘sexually’ entertain investors, but I never allowed myself to do so. I’m not afraid of Koreans protesting because what I said is true.”

Maybe she’s not afraid, but does she know speaking the truth = slander in Korea? I’d bet she’d get stopped upon arrival if she came to Korea.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrella_Lin
“She finally moved to South Korea in 2007 to work with the talent management agency AntzStar (앤츠스타), run by South Korean actor Phillip Choi (최필립).[5] There, she faced grueling conditions, including 15-hour days filled with rehearsals.[2] She claims to have had to take injections of painkillers every two weeks in order to find relief from knee pain caused by dancing for five hours straight each day.[6] Unable to bear the pressure, Lin aimed to go back home, but claims that her management company held her prisoner in her house in South Korea; in December 2009, with the aid of a friend, she escaped and successfully returned to Taiwan.[2]
However, another trainee at the same institute, Cherry (巧巧), noted primarily for her G-cup breasts, refuted some of Lin’s accusations in an appearance on talk show Gossip Queen (麻辣天后宮), claiming that Lin had not been forced into unwanted sexual contact but rather had actively sought a sexual relationship with her manager.[7]“

You got to hand it to both Teadrinker and Tbone to spread their usual anti Korean information.

…Besides, if you bothered to Google Jang Ja yeon’s name, you’d find details of what was going on, including names. It was a huge story 2 years ago. You’d know that if you’d ever been to Korea.

What, you don’t like Wikipedia? How about this chosun link titled “Taiwanese Singer Reveals Underbelly of Korean Showbiz”…
http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2010/08/23/2010082300550.html

Of course you could always buy her book too

# 6,
I especially provided/quoted the other side of the story(Cherry), what else do you want? Hey, Estrella also won an award in Seoul. Is that negative, or maybe you don’t believe Cherry? The award must’ve been the root cause of her “rage” aye?
Via Wikipedia link above…
For her role in the film, credited as “Wei Ling”, she won the “Best New Actress” award at the 47th Asia-Pacific Film Festival in Seoul.[3][4]“

tbonetylr, call me old-fashioned, but I prefer that a singer not reveal her underbelly.

Assuming they’re all 18 or older I’d dress up as Santa, have them each sit on my lap & I’d show them how Santa fits in the chimney. I’d like to do any of them. The one girl, 4th from the right holding the 3 gifts. I got 3 things for her to hold, big Jim & the twins. The one I like best is the girl in the middle with the red hat & her hands folded. Looking at her I got a bulge in my britches. Oh well the wife is as home, I’ll take her up to the bedroom & take care of business while thinking about the girl in the middle (just kidding).
