Kim Gyu Ri's Emotional Response to Cultural Blacklist Case Ruling: 'I Want to Stop Being in Pain Now'
The actress Kim Gyu Ri has expressed profound relief and a desire to move on from the pain and trauma caused by the cultural blacklist case, a legal battle against the administration of former President Lee Myung-bak. The lawsuit, filed by 33 celebrities, including Kim, sought compensation for the disruption of their livelihoods due to political differences.
Kim, known for her roles in 'Portrait of a Beauty,' 'Green Mothers' Club,' and 'Memento Mori,' shared her recent update on the case's final ruling. On October 17, the court's decision brought a sense of closure and relief to all involved. Kim reacted to the ruling, stating, 'Finally, the verdict is in. I've endured so much suffering; I want to stop feeling this pain. The trauma is so intense that even mentioning the word 'blacklist' triggers a seizure in me.'
She further emphasized the emotional impact of the case, saying, 'The period of suffering from blacklists and lawsuits has been challenging. I want to thank the legal team, colleagues, and seniors who worked tirelessly to bring this to a close. We send our warmest condolences and support to all those affected.'
The cultural blacklist case involved celebrities filing a lawsuit against the former president and the state, alleging that political differences led to the disruption of their livelihoods. The initial ruling declared the charges against the state as null and void, but the remaining parties were ordered to provide fair compensation to the plaintiffs.
This case has sparked discussions about the impact of political differences on the lives of cultural and artistic figures, and Kim Gyu Ri's emotional response highlights the personal toll such conflicts can have on individuals.
