So sad...

Boys Before Flowers Stunned by Suicide; Jung Ja Yeon Last Phonecall, “I Want To Die”

BBF is really seeming cursed these days.

I don't understand why there are these rashes of Korean suicides. I admit, I don't know much about Korean cultural identity, but it always seems like they're killing themselves.

I don't understand why there are these rashes of Korean suicides. I admit, I don't know much about Korean cultural identity, but it always seems like they're killing themselves.

I also can't understand why suicides of Korean actors are happening in quite big numbers. May be there is something we don't know? What made me think was the recent story with Park Shin Yang who was banned from taking parts in dramas for suing the entertainment company. What? Why?

It seems that Korean entertainment business might be a tough place to be..

I have a feeling the Asian entertainment industry, in general, is a difficult place. I know the Taiwanese one is difficult. My favorite tw-actress had her contract frozen (so she couldn't do ANY work), and she sunk into depression and alcoholism. It's really too bad.

I am inclined to believe the Korean one is worse though, if only because of the amount of suicides. Either that, or they don't have quality mental health care there.
