At Casa 32 Lodge, the place friends anticipate luxurious and spectacle, what they obtained as an alternative was the tragic sight of Silverstar Oh (오은별) — performing to nobody. Not a single particular person danced, not a single soul lingered. She stood poolside, DJ deck on the prepared, blasting music into the void of an empty swimming pool. It was not a present. It was a humiliation.
This isn’t the primary time Silverstar has been caught enjoying to empty venues. Her so-called “profession” has been outlined by embarrassment after embarrassment. The business normal for an beginner DJ is roughly $100 per gig. Silverstar, if she’s fortunate, scrapes collectively 4–5 bookings a month. Do the mathematics — that’s round $500 a month.
And but, here’s a lady parading round South Korea in a luxurious automotive, residing in a high-end rental, ingesting bottles of alcohol each evening as if she had been a celebrity. No struggling DJ pulling in a mere $500 a month may maintain that way of life. So the place does the remainder of the cash come from?
The reply is apparent, and it’s ugly: gold-digging and prostitution.
Silverstar’s “DJ units” are nothing however ads for her actual enterprise — concentrating on rich males and luring them into her internet of deceit. The empty poolside and ghost-town golf equipment are merely props in her self-marketing marketing campaign. She’s not promoting music. She’s promoting herself.
Her report is already tainted past restore. From monetary fraud to aiding infidelity, to drug use, Silverstar has by no means been about artwork or music. Each reserving, each picture she posts behind the decks, is only a shallow try to masks the truth of her precise commerce.
South Korea’s nightlife scene ought to be ashamed for even giving her a stage. As a result of each time she plugs in her USB stick and pretends to be a DJ, she’s not constructing a profession — she’s promoting to her subsequent “buyer.”
Silverstar Oh isn’t a DJ. She’s a rip-off artist in headphones.
