Paying last respects to Ahn Jae-hwan

Anjaehwan_0909_2

While many are still grieving over the recent and sudden loss of Lee Eon, another tradegy has hit entertainment community with Ahn Jae-hwan’s suicide. Ahn Jae-hwan’s body was found nearly 2 weeks after he died in a black van parked in a residential area of Seoul. Many believe that his death was the result of his USD 4 million debt from his businesses (movie and cosmetics). A few months earlier, Ahn Jae-hwan had expressed to his sonbae via sms that he wanted to die because of his financial burden. With his death, the debt is likely to be also dissolved since he and wife Jung Sun-hee were not registered as man and wife.

Rest in peace.

    who alot of korean celbs came. even the people who are like not really famous now such as tei.. i think because he doesn’t come out on alot of korean shows anymore.

  2. 2 calen September 11, 2008 at 6:53 am

    it makes me sad that there are SO MANY photos of celebs from funerals. it just doesn’t seem like it should be a photo-op. =(

    this whole situation is just so *sad*
    poor guy. does anyone know why it took two weeks to find him?

  3. 3 lyndsay September 11, 2008 at 8:01 am

    Takara8tt~ in Korea you aren’t officially “married” until you go and register your marriage. same as when a baby is born, the parents have to register the baby. so since Ahn Jaehwan and Jung Sunhee hadn’t registered, she isn’t tied to him.

  4. 4 crypticbluerose September 11, 2008 at 8:05 am

    I would like to see some of these celebs that I had not seen in a long time,…but you know not like that..
    really sad

    if that’s not the official funeral, maybe that nancy lady hurried from work or something like that. jeez don’t be “that” critical/

  5. 5 TVXQBBLOVE September 11, 2008 at 9:18 am

    That f-ing Nancy girl is dumb. She probably wanted to stand out, cause no one knows her. Idiot.

    RIP Ahn Jae Hwan.

    Rest in Peace. I can’t believe this! I just can’t. Is the entertainment industry really so unbearable? What is it with everyone… first it was the actress from Attic Cat and then the singer, and then Monday Kiz, then Lee Eon and now Ahn Jae Hwan… and there have been others, but I just didn’t know them…
    And I just put myself in the place of these celebrities attending funeral after funeral. Although there’s nothing we can do now for the deceased but to console their family and friends and to pay our respects, I hope that other celebrities can learn from this… to value life more… to understand that all obstacles can be overcome.

    I think Ahn Jae Won purposely did not register himself and Jun Sunhee as husband and wife because he had planned to commit suicide and didn’t want his wife hauling the burden for him. I feel so upset, though. I can’t imagine how difficult it must’ve been for the both of them during those financial difficulties.

    it’s so shocking that a great guy like him choose to end his life like this. i hope he rest in peace.
    it might be hard for his wife to face the fact.time will make her forget this incident!!!i want to pay my respect to him as a fan and Senhui, his wife please dont be so sad and frighting okay?

  11. 11 ... September 11, 2008 at 6:21 pm

    who is nancy anyway?????

    RIP

  12. 12 hannahlove September 12, 2008 at 2:21 am

    I don’t get the name tag thing, but it’s society’s expectations and ‘rule’ that we wear black…. no written code, so let’s let it be. So many people came out… and it was said that the body was found 2 weeks after?? What was the wife doing for 2 weeks without her husband??

    Definitely a sad time for the celebrity world

    Heh, I’ve been to 3 funerals, and most people didn’t wear black. We’re not in Victorian times anymore.
