U-Nee’s suicide was another addition to the “January Suicides” among Korean singers. In 1991, ballad singer, Seo Ji Won overdosed on sedatives and left us his suicide note on January 1. Then five days later, folk singer Park Kwang Suk ended his own life at the age of 32. Then two years ago, actress Lee Eun Ju hung herself in her own apartment in February.
Although Lee Eun-Ju’s suicide happened in February, it resembles U-Nee’s suicide in many ways. They both took their lives in their own apartment by hanging themselves and friends and family did not notice any change in their behavior, however they both had been suffering from depression. They also didn’t leave a suicide note, making their decision a mystery that will never be solved.
there is soooo much pressure in this country and being celebs, I would think that there is probably more so than the average person. You don’t notice it so much when are you here, but once you leave the country, it’s like a weight being lifted off your shoulders. If that’s what it feels like for me, and for ppl here, it’s so much worse.
That’s so true and that’s why I had to come to the states so often to prevent myself from going crazy…its pretty tough living in Korea because everybody is connected and somehow everything you do or say gets around.
omg…y would any1 wnat to suicide??
i think it is really stupid…if u dont like where u r or wat u r right now.,..then just change ur self…move somewhere else…be somthign els..^^
its actually true that celebrities will end up killing themselves/depression/problems…
If you can’t stand the heat, then quit. Is it so awful to take a break now and then? Korean culture… Well I think Korean Culture sucks, and glad that I had the good fortune to be adopted to a better society that doesnt pressure you death.
