Well, in some kpop horror stories, mental abuse can come in the form of isolation. An idol might be isolated from the rest of the group if they make a small mistake. They are left alone to deal with their thoughts and insecurities. This lack of support and the feeling of being ostracized can have a long - lasting negative impact on their mental health.
Sure. There was a case where an idol was constantly pressured by the agency to achieve unrealistic goals. The idol was given little support and was instead bombarded with negative comments about their performance. This led to a great deal of stress and anxiety for the idol, and they started to doubt their own abilities. It was like a cycle of mental abuse as the more they doubted themselves, the worse their performance became in the eyes of the agency.
In one mental institution, there was a young girl who was wrongly diagnosed. She was actually just a bit different in her behavior due to some past trauma. But the institution treated her as a severely ill patient. They forced her to take strong medications that made her feel constantly drowsy and nauseous. She tried to resist, but they held her down and made her take the drugs anyway. It was a very sad situation.
Sure. There was a child who was homeschooled by an over - controlling parent. The parent was extremely strict with academics and set unrealistic goals. The child constantly felt stressed and pressured. This led to the development of anxiety disorders. The child was always worried about not meeting the parent's expectations and had no outlet for the stress as there were no classmates or teachers to talk to.

There was a mental hospital that had been around for decades. A journalist decided to do a story on it. He got permission to interview some of the long - term patients. While he was talking to one patient, an old man, the man suddenly stopped talking and stared at a corner of the room. His eyes were wide with fear. He whispered that there was a doctor there who used to do cruel experiments on patients long ago. The journalist looked but saw nothing. As he left the room, he heard a strange moaning sound coming from the corridor. When he turned to look, he saw a figure in a white coat for a second before it vanished. He quickly left the hospital, and his story was never published as he was too scared to go back and finish it.
