Brother of actress Choi Jin-shil posted up a note in his Cyworld announcing that he will never forgive the spreader of malicious rumors, known as “Baek”
At the end of September, police had charged Baek with spreading rumors, but nothing was done about it. And just before her death, the actress and her tormentor got into an argument.
And right after her death, the police were busy trying to sweep the incident under the rug and Baek was busy trying to run away. Choi Jin-shil’s brother added that Baek must face the public and be punished for her wrong-doing.
And we agree.
“uh why are being prejudice and idiotic by claiming that all korean celebrities are stupid? Did they all commit suicide? I dont think so.”
haha…yo jo…another thing. i really LOVED how you even bothered to answer your own rhetorical question at the end. that is classic. thanks for telling me that. i didn’t know that some celebrities were still alive. haha. nevermind about keeping quiet… keep posting girl. too funny.
joemama: Way to put words into my mouth. I equated your blaming her for this tragedy to blaming the rape victim for having suffered at the hands of others. The only similarity I’m drawing is that both are victims and ultimately should receive our sympathy. No matter what your views are in terms of suicide itself, this woman suffered due to a multitude of problems – she didn’t kill herself just because she had rumours spread about her. I said those were just ONE of many. It’s not as if she heard about those rumours, got a phone call from Baek, and then decided to end her life all in one instance. It’s repeatedly mentioned she had suffered from depression for years. But I don’t want to argue with you because the whole purpose of your posts is to bait people.
I think we’re forgetting here that Baek didn’t JUST spread rumours online. She personally contacted Choi Jin-shil and condemned her based on untrue accusations – I’m pretty sure that’s harassment. But I also agree that celebrities need to stand up for themselves. If netizens commit a crime (ex. poisoning Yunho) they should be charged for it and punished. If the celebrities themselves allow it to be swept under the rug, these people have no sense of the consequences of their actions.
Also, instead of complaining and whining and BLAMING these celebrities for being ‘weak’, the problem itself should be addressed. How likely are these celebrities to seek help? Why do these celebrities feel that suicide is the only way out? Is it because of the way society sequesters them to the point where they CAN’T see a way out? This can also be applied to every day citizens as well. And also, what is the quality of mental health treatment in Korea?, etc etc. I just don’t see any point in playing the blame game at this point.
it hard for him to forgive that woman, the one you really love and close to died cause depress and sadness, it really hurt you to think about that, it really hard for him
sucki…doesn’t that go without saying? victims suffer at the hands of others? by the way, where are you from? we should get drinks sometimes.
^ -_- I’m trying to say Choi Jin-shil is a victim of depression, which isn’t something she magically conjured up for the hell of it. To say she has nobody to blame but herself is not conducive to reaching out to *help* these individuals, especially given her celebrity status. And yes, you can personally think she was selfish in leaving behind her family and friends, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that she needed help desperately and for some reason, felt she could not reach out to anyone.
If Baek commits suicide, it’s also an excuse for a public holiday! The picture of Choi Jin Shil’s brother was so touching, it almost made me cry. Baek has wronged and she won’t repent. She did this all to achieve face, in which is irony because she doesn’t HAVE a face. Look at her pictures and you’ll know why
Wait…her brother is the guy in WGM partnering with HyunJi??
But I don’t think it’s fully that Beak dude’s fault. It also has to do with how she feels about herself too.
RIP Choi Jin Sil…. this news was so big it already made it to the New York Daily News….i hope her friends and family are okay :[
baek should show his/her face in the public and nationally say sorry to the pblic for murder
People like this that Harass others and cause them to commit suicide should be sent to prison or jail.
