South Korean actress Jang Ja-yeon, in a damning suicide letter, indicted the South Korean entertainment industry for making her perform sex acts to get ahead.
The issue has brought "sex contracts" to the forefront in South Korea, where top talent is expected to abide by agreements backed by favors.
Jang was the star of South Korea's No.1 soap opera and her death has just been the latest of celebrity suicides in the country.
It seems the USA music business isn't the only industry that robs its artists. But the bigger issue here is the sexual abuse alleged by Jang.
According to South Korean reports, Jang's agent, Kim Sung-hoon, who is now in Japan after being accused of molesting a male model, took the brunt of the criticism in the 7-page letter.
Jang reportedly claimed her agent beat her regularly and forced her to have sex with a film VIPs, directors, media executives and CEOs. The letter also claims she was forced to be an "escort" at golf matches.
Police, who have frozen the agent's account, raided his office and discovered a "secret room".
Question: How many people in the American entertainment business are sex slaves?
