Newbie Actress Woo Seung Yeon Commits Suicide

Newbie actress Woo Seung Yeon (24) was found hung by her family on the 27th. The death is being ruled as suicide and the police have released the statement "Although there is no will found, before her death, she sent a text message to her younger sibling saying 'I'm sorry.'" She is known to have been suffering from depression after failing an audition and breaking up with a long time boyfriend. A family member revealed that she had received treatment at a hospital for her depression, but it had worsened in recent weeks and caused her to commit suicide.

Woo Seung-yeon started off as an internet uljjang, before modeling, and had even branched out into acting, appearing in the movie Herb and the mobile sitcom Yap. Her most recent role was in the movie Private Eye, which was released earlier this month. She was born in 1985 and was planning to return to return to her school, Joong Ang University where she was majoring in French Language & Culture.

In addition, her cyworld is getting attention as it was revealed that she wrote a message titled "Good-bye" on the 25th and had changed her background music to Toy's Sorry and Time Alone. Because the guest book function on her cyworld is closed, netizens have left their condolences through comments under her picture uploads.

i read that Kim Kyrun Rok from V.O.S was her ex-boyfriend.
he would be devastated to know that he was the reason she killed herself.

@13: If I remember correctly, Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world? So it’s not a ‘trend’ in the entertainment world. It’s just that sometimes celebrities become statistics as well.

 

I hope I didn’t word that so harshly..

 

Sigh, such bad news left and right.

Wow, Korea ranks 8th highest suicide rate in the world. Did she kill herseld because she had depression? People don’t just kill themselves under sane circumstances. Is depression something Koreans can’t talk about openly for help? Not trying to sound critical but perhaps the Korean society in general needs to put more focus and awareness on depression and how can affect people. And perhaps better support for those with depression. Rather than just setting up those weird campaigns telling people to BE HAPPY.

Korean celebrity is weaker than I thought their the most weak celebrities in the world…..why should they need to get suicide…there’s a lot of answers if they want to search for it…..There reasons are too small..if not because of the career, their love life….they don’t have to get crazy thinking of those things .....the hell those people who doesn’t like me if I’m a celebrity why….are they the one who will dictate my whole life…if not being a successful actress there’s another choice…if you do not became successful on other things it means you deserve much better than you expect….aaaaaarrrrggghhhh I starting to hate Korean celebrities…their always cares more and more serious about everything its like if you die you can not bring fame and richness to another life…...these people doesn’t have the right to take their own life….God has the only only one who decides if they die or not….if there’s more Korean celebrities out there whose planning to add up with these ridiculous tend…and ITS A WORST TREND EVER .... YOU GUYS STOP KILLING YOURSELVES!!!!! IT DOESN’T WORTH IT TO TAKE YOU’RE LIFE FOR SOMETHING…BE STRONG…FACE YOU’RE FEARS AND PROBLEMS….it doesn’t mean that you can’t live anymore…..Yeah when you’re alive you cannot have everlasting happiness but when you die unintentionally you’ll get eternal happiness…but when you suicide I doubt that you’ll claim eternal happiness you’ll probably be sad forever in your 2nd life…..KOREAN CELEBRITIES HAS THE WORST TREND EVER….“THE SUICIDE TREN” i HATE IT

if her family knew she was depressed that much she should have been admitted to the hospital.. it is a serious illness and just like pneumonia should be treated properly or it can reoccur and be too much to handle the second time around. i seriously think ppl should educate themselves more on this, especially if they know that someone close to them is suffering from it. especially in korea it seems..

I doubt it’s a trend just amoung Korean celebrities only. It probably happens just as often among normal Koreans, but they’re not important enough to get on the news.

@33. chiara. She had depression. She probably wasn’t mentally stable. Telling someone with depression to “suck it up” or “get over it” is ineffective and can sometimes be even more damaging.

ppl should be more religious. Any religion won’t allowed suicide. sadly, She will be punished in hell forever. If u depressed get urself closer to god, I guaranteed u’ll feel much much better. ppl these day forget their religion and only looking for material happiness. life isn’t just what’s in this world,, now it’s a just a short phase of our long journey. May God forgive her mistake

oh. WTF.
she was an actress. she was about to continue her school. she had great future in front of her!
to think that she chose to do suicide just because of failing audition and ex-boyfriend.. im sorry.. RIP.. but thats just stupid.
no matter how u look at it, wasting ur life just like that while some thousand kids in Africa are trying their best to live and survive..

she’s so pretty…. why are so many korean celebrities committing suicide? shouldn’t there be some sort of organization there that’ll promote life? it wouldn’t be much but every little thing would help to try to stop suicide attempts.

TT___TT if she’s depressed she must’ve seen a Dr.Phil something guy… uhmm… THERAPIST?

this is getting ridiculous. is there a place where the celebrities can receive celebrity advice when their life is going through a rough patch? celebrities in the western world tend to grow a thicker skin and not so many take their lives.

:( Committed suicide over an audition that didn’t go well and a break-up with a guy? That was so not worth it. She seemed like she was still keeping up with her studies just in case things didn’t go well. But what can I say? Depression is terrible and it is something really hard to pull through. Anyone who says depression is pathetic and all that definitely doesn’t hasn’t gone through it before and/or lost loved ones because of it. If only she was saved, or hung on..


Either way, R.I.P.

I don’t know her, but may she RIP
Gosh what is with Korean Culture, is their society’s unrealistic expectations
the cause of this? Do they make all koreans need to be perfect and
successful or something. Are they that strict?
What’s with this awful trend?

Thank god I don’t live there…already feel suffocated thinking bout it

@13
excuse me?
new trend?
Pardon me, but i would like to inform you that this issue has been going on for many years. The korean media industry just fails epically at fixing it. such waste of life

 
krik's avatar

It’s a bad trend for Korea.
Sad to hear, though.
