As most people are probably already aware, there's been a spate of recent deaths of young female entertainers. But surely a mega-star like Lee Hyori doesn't have as much pressure on her shoulders, right? Maybe not ...

�First of all, I would like to apologize for yesterday�s incident. I was so stupid�
I was filming �Perhaps Love� before I went to Mnet Countdown. I tried to get there as fast as I can, but when I arrived, the show was over already. I wanted to go on the stage as fast as I can, but my clothes haven�t arrived yet and I saw many reporters standing in front of the stage waiting for me to perform. I didn�t know what to do and since it was my comeback stage, I wanted to make it great. I realized that I couldn�t wait any longer for the clothes, so I went on stage with the clothes I already wore, but while I was performing on stage, I heard what the audience was saying. I know that they couldn�t go home waiting for me and they were mostly other singer�s fans. It was very lonely to perform in front of people who were angry at me.
I didn�t sleep or eat the entire day and my legs were shaking and I didn�t feel prepared and the performance was a disaster. I started to cry as I was walking down from the stage. I tried my best, but it seemed like nobody gave me credit for my efforts. I knew that I shouldn�t to cry, but I couldn�t stop crying. After I got my senses together, I realized that a lot of time has passed. I apologized a hundred times, but it didn�t matter. I saw the cameras leave and I felt so miserable. I want to apologize to the reporters who had to wait for me once again. I also want to apologize to my fans who are worried about me. I feel that I�m getting weaker these days. I�ll try harder in the future.�

"[My] performance was a disaster," and, "I couldn't stop crying,"? It looks like no one, no matter how successful, is immune to the burdens placed upon young Korean performers. |

Oh Gawd... 
I guess she really didn't try her best, then did she? |

Poor girl.....
She should retire early and get married to me. 
I would never complain about her performance. |

Not like anything is planned at the last minute in this country, and performers have to pay for that kind of bad planning.
Poor planning seems to cause stress in the music world, just as in our teaching worlds. |

That's a really good point actually. Korean-confucian hierarchies are really horrible for planning. Although that gives me hella-stress as a teacher (in which case, you're kind of a performer anyway, standing in front of a group and all), I can't imagine being disorganized in front of a paying audience. The closest I ever came was Jazz band in highschool, and it took months of practice to pull that stuff off. It would suck to have some airhead korean manager go "oh, by the way, we have to go to X at 5pm...sorry I didn't tell you about that last month when I found out about it". |

Please elaborate- how is the Korean way of poor planning linked to Confucianism? |

I am curious, too. I realize planning is often for shite here, but I don't see the connection to Confucianism. Then again, I am not an expert.
I would think that a strict hierarchy would tend to put the responsibility for planning firmly in SOMEONE'S lap. Are you saying that when the boss is that someone, then it doesn't matter what he does, as he is the top dog? |
