Taiwan sexy actress Lin Wei-ling, 30, has confessed that she attempted suicide during her 3-year training in South Korea.

Taiwan sexy actress Lin Wei-ling, 30, has confessed that she attempted suicide during her 3-year training in South Korea.

According to Chinese-Japanese celebrity blog ‘Press 1,’ Lin blamed the Korean entertainment community again during a press conference of her sexy photos in the Philippines last Tuesday.

The failed Taiwanese star told reporters she abandoned her attempt to debut in Korea due to forced sex service several times and a “slave” contract. “As a result, I attempted to commit suicide,” she said.

This was the second time for her to criticize Korea publicly after she published her autobiography ‘A Star’s Dream in Korea’ which describes the dark side of the Korean entertainment last August.

She said in the book that she was often forced to have sex with officials from entertainments or broadcasting studios.

“I was even asked to fabricate my year born 1980 to 1985, because I was too old to make debut in Korea,” she added.
Meanwhile, she expressed her hope to run for council womanship in four years. “My aim is to become one of the most beautiful city council members,” she said.



대만 여 스타, 성 상납 강요에 자실 시도

대만 섹시 스타 린 웨이링이 한국에서의 연습기간 3년 동안 자살 시도를 했었다고 고백 했다.

중일 연예 정보 블로그 ‘Press1’에 따르면, 린 웨이링이 지난 화요일 필리핀 섹시 화보 기자회견을 갖던 중, 또 다시 한국 연예계를 비난 했다고 밝혔다.

린 웨이링은 수 차례의 성 접대 강요와 노예 계약으로 인해 한국에서의 데뷔를 포기했다며, “그로 인해 결국 자살 시도 까지 했다,”고 말했다.

그녀는 지난 8월 한국 연예계의 어두운 면을 고발한 자서전 ‘한국 몽상’을 출판한 뒤, 두 번째로 공개적으로 한국을 비판했다.

자서전엔, 여러 차례 연예 기획사 및 방송국 관계자들과의 잠자리를 강요 받았었다고 밝혔다.

그녀는 “한국에서 데뷔하기엔 나이가 많기에, 출생 년도를 1980년에서 1985년으로 수정 할 것을 요구 받기도 했다”고 덧붙였다.

한편, 린 웨이링은 4년 뒤 시의원에 출마하고 싶다고 밝혔다. 그녀는 “가장 아름다운 시의원이 되는 게 목표예요,”라고 전했다.
