I don’t really know who this actress is, but reading this story is very sad and emotional that I had to post about it. A South Korean actress named Choi Jin-Sil, she is a pretty big movie star in her home country although she is not well known over here in the US, she has starred in South Korean films such as “My Bride My Love”, “The Room in the Forest”, “Who Makes Me Crazy”, “Baby Sale”, etc.

Choi Jin-sil, 40, was found dead in an apparent suicide. The suicide happened after the suicide of a fellow actor who she was rumoured to have pressured about a loan. She has been depressed following her divorce in 2004 and worried about how to care for her two children.

Her body was found in the bathroom in her home and it appeared that she hanged herself. No suicide note was found but she sent a questionable message to her assistant saying “take care of my children no matter what happens”.

Very sad story. She seems like a beautiful and good woman that I wished she got profesional help before taking her life. Life maybe crazy, folks, but suicide is never the answer. RIP Choi Jin-sil.
