Ok. This has become absolutely ridiculous!! One suicide is way too many. But more? The number of suicides since Choi Jin-shil’s untimely departure has tragically risen.
At the tender age of 23, Kim Ji-hoo committed suicide as a result of rabid netizens who harassed the model for being gay. The model was part of the tvN program, “Coming out” and that didn’t sit well with some people.
Kim Ji-hoo was found dead on October 7th in the same manner as Choi Jin-shil. Police confirm that the death as suicide.
Please no more!
The Korean government needs establish a better social system so that the troubled can easily reach out and seize the help they desperately need. Although the government is reviewing a law to protect people from the spread of vicious rumors and slanderous comments on the internet, that may not be enough. Social pressures are what drives people to do things that they feel is the only way out. Feeling cornered with no alternatives results in desperate measures. What Korea really needs is an overhaul in the way our people think. And that will take time….if not generations.
It’s extremely sad and depressing to think that ending your life is the only answer. It’s not. It shouldn’t be. Life is too precious- we are here only for a short time and we must try to enjoy every minute we have.
This needs to stop.
Rest in peace.
According to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, South Korea has the highest suicide rate of any of its 30 members – which are almost all developed countries.

celebrity they really hate…

Rest in peace.
Okay he get’s harassed, can’t you sue? what about restraining orders? WHO CARES IF HE’S GAY?! I don’t. But It’s really pathetic that he resorted to suicide, but it’s even more monstrous of these people for attacking him. Seriously does SK have the highest Suicide rate or what?
In Canada, with the Asian community I don’t think it’s much different. Fortunately the suicides are not as high, unless they go unnoticed, but the stigma is there towards things like depression, schizophrenia, personality disorders – mental disorders are left to go unnoticed until it becomes a tragedy when it is no different then a broken arm or leg, the quicker it gets treated – the sooner the person can recover. I think that’s all that matters, that the person who is secretly suffering gets the support they need to focus and get better instead of hiding it or worst denying that a problem exists.
Why?
did he,huh?
Hmmm I wanna be a actress but I’m not so sure about it now cuz of da anti-fan thingi……. Btw u can just ignore stupid rumours n sue da anti fans………
