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.
anti-fans in South Korea is a serious issue…
they will do anything to do the most awful things to a
celebrity they really hate…
rest in peace all 4 korean stars
i hope it wont happened to other celebrities..
another suicide case??
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………

For those of them anti-fans. You guys should feel bad for what you did. One of the reasons he committed suicide is that peoples in the Internet said harsh things about him. FYI nothings wrong with being gay. It’s not their fault their gay. So those peoples who said harsh things to him/her you guys are worse than other peoples like him. You anti-fans sucks.
well actually I really don’t know him. di nga sya ganon ka sikat.pangit nman hehehe!!! maldita
I don’t care abaut him!! alam nyo ba pag ang tao ay nag tangkang magpakamatay merong psychological problem no!!
I’m not really a korean fan nor an anti-korean…I love some koreans song though I don’t understand it. The sound and tunes are somewhat good to ears and when i research for translation some are love songs and sincere. Way back to suicide issues in korea, the authorities must be alarmed and do something, many needs counselings! This is not just an individual problem but rather become more a social problem. As per religious supertitions, when someone killed himself/herself, his/her soul won’t get straight to the hands of god. Did god ever told ‘us’ to killed ourselves? It was so unjustice to killed your ownselves if life is too good to waste. Though, life was sometimes crazy but if you believe and see life more deeper…you will learned more how to love yourself. Love yourself guys! God will not give us problems if he know we can’t handle and resolve it. I’m not that a religious one but faith in him will keep you more strong.
