Estrella Lin (Шаблон:Zh; born 1980) is a pop music singer from Taiwan, formerly a member of the girl group 3EP Beauties, and the author of a Chinese-language book detailing alleged abuses in South Korea's pop music industry.[1]
Career
In the 1990s, Lin was a member of Taiwan-based girl group 3EP Beauties (Шаблон:Zh) under the stage-name "E-Lin" (Шаблон:Zh), along with "Jin" (Шаблон:Ill) and "Tin-Tin" (Шаблон:Zh). One music video of theirs, "All Right", in which all three members wore bikinis, attracted considerable attention at the time; however, the group later dissolved.[2] In 2002, Lin made her only appearance on the silver screen, in Ho Ping's movie The Rule of the Game; she played the role of a married woman who has an affair with a frequent customer at her hot pot restaurant, played by Шаблон:Ill.[3] 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]
Lin had made plans to leave Taiwan and move to South Korea to attempt to break into the K-pop industry; however, her nude sex scene in The Rule of the Game, a departure from her "pure and cute" image as a member of 3EP Beauties, caused her difficulties in this regard and forced her to delay her plans.[3] She finally moved to South Korea in 2007 to work with the talent management agency AntzStar (Шаблон:Korean), run by South Korean actor Шаблон:Ill.[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]
In August 2010, Lin published a book detailing alleged mistreatment of aspiring stars in South Korea's entertainment industry, including pressure on singers of both genders to provide sexual services to prospective investors.[1] In response to the controversy, her former management agency made a public announcement to the South Korean media that they had inserted a new clause into their contracts with their trainees making clarifications that they had the right to refuse unnecessary body contact.[5] However, another trainee at the same institute, Cherry (Шаблон:Zh), noted primarily for her G-cup breasts, refuted some of Lin's accusations in an appearance on talk show Gossip Queen (Шаблон:Zh), claiming that Lin had not been forced into unwanted sexual contact but rather had actively sought a sexual relationship with her manager.[7]
In July 2010, Lin appeared nude in the Taiwan promotional materials for the Canadian film Splice.[8] That same month, she also began guest appearances in the CTV television drama series Scent of Love (Шаблон:Zh), giving the much younger Fok Siu-man (Шаблон:Zh) an on-screen kiss.[9] In December 2010, she released a new photo collection book, "Angel's Stars" (Шаблон:Zh). However, at the press conference announcing its release, she was careful to emphasise that the book contained no nudity.[10]
