Young actress Woo Seung-yeon was found dead on April 27th in an apparent suicide; she was just 24 (or 26 according to different sources).

Korean actress Woo Seung-yeon suicide

Woo’s family revealed that she was suffering from serious depression because of both work and relationship issues, and was receiving treatment at a hospital.

Wonder when this suicide trend is going to end; as mentioned by Javabeans, “it’s a sad day when news like this is no longer shocking…” couldn’t say it any better.

Rest in peace.

    She also used what seems to be the common South Korean method of choice….hanging.

    Something is really really not right in South Korean show biz these days. I mean REALLY not right. A young actress like that ending it all when she’s barely gotten started. Why isn’t South Korea government or mental authorities digging deeper to research this trend?Geesh!

    Surprise! What happen the the handlers, the managers, don’t they have eyes? That is your client, your money maker reach out and help. The cast sysytem in Korean is killing off their young youth and they do not give a “rats ass” perfection is not for everyone, we all have flaws but their envious nature propell parents to bush their children mercifully without thinking about the child and what their strong hold is doing to their children, that is GREED on you the parents pay attention to your children, so what they are not as accomplish as Joe Blow, they are better at other things help them to develop the other skills they are good at. It not a trend parent are pushing their children to the brink of madness.
    Another issue is being gay a dirty word? People this is the 21st century no one is perfect love your children regardless, stop threatening them that they will kill themselves, if that what you feel like do it, get out of your childrens life.
    Call out to the younger generation, change your way of thinking, change the perception that you have to be perfect. Your parents lived their lives, you are the captain of your ship not your parents who knows nothing.
