Rest in peace Kim Young Lim…

Kimyounglim_200801

We’re sorry to report that Kim Young Lim (28), an upcoming actress has left us after suffering from breast cancer on December 7th, 2007. Kim Young Lim debuted in 2000 after winning an open audition on castnet and she played various supporting roles in many movies and dramas including Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang, S Diary, Maljuk or Once Upon a Time in High School, Address Unknown, etc. It’s unfortunate that her death is getting covered by the media a month after the fact, but we hope that she rests in peace.

Our condolences to Kim Young Lim’s family and fans.

    May she rest in peace!!..

    This is such sad news. I’m sorry to hear it.

    As a side note, she did NOT play Han Dan-hee. That was Lee In Hye. She probably played a smaller role.

    Rest in peace…

    She looks very familiar but I can’t recall who she plays in delightful girl choon hyang.

    RIP. It seems like she was a nice person. I wonder why they take pictures of themselves while sick at the hospital? It doesn’t look right.

    ^Cassidy`those are the last pics they will ever have of themseleves and it gives them hope and others memories…even though she was ill she still put on a smile…

    Why a month if the family wanted it that way cool. If it’s just the lax k media then i call B.S.

  13. 13 Misty January 3, 2008 at 1:13 pm

    no… that’s so sad!! esp during the new year!

  20. 20 ayulyn January 3, 2008 at 2:38 pm

    R.I.P

    Right now, this is most difficult for her family and close friends, so I wish them well.

    It’s so sad..makes my eyes water.

  21. 22 ed January 3, 2008 at 2:48 pm

    28 is too young. she looks to have put up a valiant fight. rest in peace good woman.

  22. 23 ky January 3, 2008 at 2:57 pm

    i hope she rests in peace.

    It’s probably a month after the death, because the family requested some down time.

    It’s nice to see someone suffering so much put on a smile in the hospital for her fans.

  23. 24 Korean Ajusshi January 3, 2008 at 3:04 pm

    That’s too bad and sad. It just goes to show that a tragedy doesn’t spare the young celebrities, either.

  24. 25 Raihana January 3, 2008 at 3:38 pm

    She was such a lovely looking girl..Rest In Peace sweetheart..

  25. 26 Cassidy January 3, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    >>eeteukluv: I think it would rather be painful for loved ones to look at those pictures. To know that even through all her struggles she was trying to smile for them, that would be painful. But I suppose you’re right, although in any case it is still unfortunate and sad.

  26. 27 Cutie January 3, 2008 at 4:03 pm

    Although I watched Choonhyang I dont cant remember her @.@

    But anyways, R.I.P

  27. 28 xtng January 3, 2008 at 7:13 pm

    Rest in Peace.

  28. 29 eblu January 3, 2008 at 8:20 pm

    RIP kyl-sshi. Even though I don’t remember her from the above dramas mentioned, it’s truly upsetting that she had to end her dreams so soon. May she be remembered along with the other actresses who left us too early like Jung Da Bin.

  29. 31 raindrops January 3, 2008 at 10:38 pm

    She is not the chunhyang’s bestfriend. I think she is the designer who work under uhm tae wong.
    Rest in peace.

  30. 32 monalisa January 3, 2008 at 11:39 pm

    I’ve no doubt she was a strong girl. Look how she put on brave and cheerful front when she must have been feeling ill from all the chemo treatments. May God bless your soul, Ms. Kim.

  31. 33 blinkable January 4, 2008 at 12:08 am

    She looked very familiar…did she starred in one of the seeya’s vid?? shoes?? I jus saw that…sori if different person >_< Yes 28 is too young to die..hope she rest in peace

    R.I.P
    now you will go through less pain and may you finally be free an watch over us as an angel in heaven.

  34. 39 Island January 4, 2008 at 11:15 am

    She didn’t act as the best friend, she was the one that took care of the jewelry during the film making.

    She was so pretty.
    May she rest in peace.

  35. 40 Annie January 4, 2008 at 11:18 am

    Oh I remember her role now. She worked for Byun hyuk Do and she was the chae rim girl’s friend.
