The South Korean government has unveiled a plan to help prevent celebrity deaths by suicide and the copycat deaths of fans.
The plan was announced on Friday, a few days after the ministries of education and health and welfare held a joint meeting about the problem.
Korea is currently enjoying the global success of K-pop, television drama series and feature films. But the industry is seen as achieving success through a high-pressure system where the failure rate is high, and success comes with intense online scrutiny.
