Harisu Says No to Suicide

With the recent suicide of former President Roh Moo Hyun, Korea's most famous transgender celebrity, Harisu, has reached out to prevent suicides among transgender talents. Harisu said "I wish that there will be no more transgender suicides" and opened a transgenger club.
On the 13th, 'Mix-Trans Club' was established. Recently, there were two up and coming transgender entertainers, one known as the "Harisu Part 2," Jang Chae Won, and another up and comer who had a 'coming out' and received such severe backlash, Kim Jihoo, both committed suicide. Harisu said, "My heart was broken upon hearing the news of the suicides of my friends and colleagues. I wanted to make a beautiful place for people to come together after coming out and suffering the same pain."
So far Harisu's collected a small group of 20 members to create the 'Mix Trans' performance group.


It's a very nice thing Harisu is doing for the twenty some people in the biz... but who will do anything about for the former presidents and other straight, one-gender celebs? Where is their club?

@19- omg I love the book Luna! it made me cry it was really well written.
@46- that’s a bit harsh. You don’t have to agree with what he decided to but SHE is not being selfish. Gays, Lesbians, and Transgenders are easily the MOST attacked group of people despite being HUMAN like everyone else. In fact considering that Harisu is willing too help people with this serious problem before anyone you consider “appropriate” or
“right” destroys your argument. She knows what it is like to be hated but she is still proud to be who she is, more people need to be like her in Korea and just say NO to suicide.
