Maybe suicide is selfish but everone has to bear own pain and when one can't endure anymore, also has a right…
Once again. You don't know him. What he did in his private life. You're making assumptions just like people you're criticizing here. I get you're emotional, but you need to get off your high horse.
I see alot of racist and ignorant comments.Korea is not nearly as sick as the Western imperialists who have raped,…
Show me another modern well developed and educated country in which society chasitises its celebrities to the point of them taking their own life on such big scale. This world is messed up. You didn't discover America, but in the process of defending Korea, you became a racist yourself. Oh, the irony.
koreans are saying it wasn't the drug allegations that did him in — it was the phone call that leaked where…
Bullying is wrong, but what was he thinking? He himself destroyed his own family. What did he expect, that his sins will not come out? What about his wife and children? He did this to them, and when exposed took his own life out of shame. Don't cheat, don't destroy families. It's that simple.
One of the best Korean actors. Very, very sad. I hope the same thing won't happen to Yoo Ah In. Another victim.
I saw a video in which someone threw an egg (i think it was, can't remember well) when he stepped out of the police station. This feels like middle-age times, not a modern, well developed country. He did wrong, but there should be a place for redemption. I'm sure whoever did this to him drinks soju like a juice, yet at the sime time chastises him from the place of superiority This world is messed up. Let's hope he can mentally endure this, or we will have another bad news soon.
You compared Korea's suicide rate with Brazilian homicides. My friend there are not the same. Even korean people are bailing out from that toxicity they have to live in. Also. No one says Korea is the worst of all. We are just talking about Korea not Brazil. Sure ever country has it's flaws, but Korea is super developed country (something Brazil is not)so the comfort of living there should be higher. Instead of that Korea is full of bullies that bully kids, workers and eldery people. Of course not all Koreans are bad, but the society operates as one organism and this organism is brutal and toxic. I live in Poland but we do not chastaise celebrities for their wrongdoings like they're not humans but dogs. I've been talking to a lot of Korean people and all they want to do is to get out of their own country. Koreans put so much pressure on themselves it's literally killing them. People in third world countries in Africa that live without water of food do not kill themslves the way Koreans do. And don't forget about bullies. Korea is filled with bullies that are bullying others like no other country I know. You name it. Kids are being bullied, workers, celebrities, teachers (the recent events of teachers committing sucides). No other country has problem this big with social anger and physical abuse. And what they are showing us is sweet kdramas and colourful kpop. The reality is Korea in general is a very dark and toxic country with serious sociological issues, but they pose for such well educated and succesful people.
You're absolutely correct! Korea is desperate to project a wholesome and nonthreatening image to the world by…
I had that awakening a while ago, and I haven't even been in Korea, but thanks for proving I wasn't wrong about this. I wonder what will happen to Korea if the hype for kpop and kdramas fades away and I think this kwave will pass, sooner or later.
