Korean entertainment industry is really cruel as we know too many actors, actress and singers suicide fame and money doesn’t help if your life is ruined

RIP. A great loss in a film industry. A good actor. My condolences to his wife, kids & family.

Korean Media is having a hoot right now. They have another body added to their list of bullied who committed suicide.

He was GIVEN substance which he thought were sleep meds. Then she and her neighbor blacked mailed him for money. He and his wife sold a building to pay them. There is no such as “personal” drugs in Korea. he tested 3 times for drugs, urine, hair his head then from other private parts and tested all NEGATIVE. It was a witch hunt and the Korean Police pushed him too far to embarrass him. The last “interview”(so they say) lasted 19 hours!!! He requested closed interview and a lie detector but the police denied his requests.

They did the same to GD!

HE WAS NOT A DRUGGIE!! Stop!

AND they arrested the neighbor who blackmailed him who was on a run last night (US time)

If you are a real reporter, stop 'asserting allegation without fact checking. His drug test result was negative.

RIP. Will miss you dearly. Love your acting. You are the best. I never miss a single episode or movie. Now, Korea has lost "THE VOICE".

So sad. What a lost to the film industry there.

Whatever they are doing now won't bring him back. Koreans wont have actors, singers or any celebrities if they keep on social killing them. They should love their entertainers enough to help them if they have issues, than flagging their issues on socila media, and then cry when they commit suicide. Thats sick😢. Condolences to the family and friends.

Sad, sad, sad. R.I.P. Great loss of such a fine human being.
Korea, stop abusing and killing your own people.

If u guys are doing ur work well stop going around spreading false and look into fact

[pamelasims]

He will be missed and was loved by many Americans 🇺🇸, How he was treated was less than a man. 😢😢

[ChiM.ChiM.UniversE]

Idc if anyone hates in comments or what just f off if you wanna hate it all was their fault that he's not here and that in the age in which his kids would've held his hand, hugged him they had to lift his coffin and hug his picture...its really a shame on them...

[shalinasaroya]

This is so sad that pressure from ppl can drive a sane family man into committing suicide..
The scrutiny and judgmental behaviour of thus sort by netizens needs to stop..
It’s sickening how ppl and media blow things out of proportion.. in the end all his achievements, his hard work meant nothing..thus can happen to anyone..
