Why are there so many “January Suicides?
The recent death of 2 of Korea’s rising young starlets, U-Nee and Jung Da Bin, has left everyone wondering why. We question why such beautiful young stars would end their own lives. Trying to make sense of this tragedy is not easy and requires sensitivity in dealing with such a delicate subject. Since our blog does not deal with hard hitting societal issues, we decided to create another blog called PopReflections to address this matter and hopefully we can work towards understanding why U-Nee and Jung Da-Bin made such a fatal decision.
U-Nee’s album “Solo Fantasy” is finally out as a parting gift to her fans and family. There was a lot of talk about the fate of her album after her tragic decision. Phantom Entertainment felt that it was inappropriate to release it, while U-Nee’s family and fans wanted to hear her last work. The matter was resolved when all parties finally agreed to release it. The title song “Sup-Ghawn” (trans: habit) is a ballad, a 180 turn from “call call call,” which shows that she tried to find her own voice by experimenting with different genres.
RIP U-Nee
U-Nee’s suicide was another addition to the “January Suicides” among Korean singers. In 1991, ballad singer, Seo Ji Won overdosed on sedatives and left us his suicide note on January 1. Then five days later, folk singer Park Kwang Suk ended his own life at the age of 32. Then two years ago, actress Lee Eun Ju hung herself in her own apartment in February.
Although Lee Eun-Ju’s suicide happened in February, it resembles U-Nee’s suicide in many ways. They both took their lives in their own apartment by hanging themselves and friends and family did not notice any change in their behavior, however they both had been suffering from depression. They also didn’t leave a suicide note, making their decision a mystery that will never be solved.
