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 had never seen her before, but i just wanted to say RIP to Woo Seung Yeon. She will be missed by her friends and loved ones. A message to everyone: suicide is not the answer!! please seek counseling if you have to, but never think that suicide is your only way out. people will help you, just ask for it.

sighs… this shouldn’t be a trend, it shouldn’t be an answer. she shouldn’t have died.. but did.  argh.  it must be so frustrating for her and her family.  my deepest condolences. i hope no one else turns to suicide as an answer.  a girl from my highschool commited suicide a week ago.. sigh..

Just don’t understand being that torn up over my boyfriend leaving me..she has her family support. No hope and at 27 you kill yourself pshhhh that’s life things don’t go well sometimes. I think if I didn’t believe in something outside myself and realize that things can turn around in a heart beat I would be hopeless.

They need some kind of a program cause everyone seem to think this is the way to go. I am worried about Joo Ji Hoon now that he is arrested.

yea #49, it’s a trend.
I have never heard of an industry where so many people commit suicide. What the hell is going on in their jobs and minds?
I cannot believe that someone would commit suicide over a role and boyfriend, even with depression. There has to be more to this. Something the public hasn’t found out yet.

For Chiara:

You sound like a sheltered brat. She’s dead, she’s not going to hear you tell her to not follow a “trend”. Depression is a disease. Please. People like you are often the ones who don’t realize how badly others around you need help.

wow not another one i really hope her family and friends will be ok…..i think Korea should make a campaign focusing on depression and the affects of depression doesn’t seem like they talk about it much it should be talked about since it happens alot

u cant do everything based on looks only ppl! geez..jus cus ur popular on the internet doesnt mean ppl will like u for no reason. the entertainment world is hard and cruel!
though it is tru to say korean celebs do hav weaker hearts unless they really hav the will and can stand up to multiple stabs in the heart. i mean emotional pains r worse than physical ones in amny cases in the present time.
but the thing also is that korean population may say that u hav to be perfect and u dont hav the will i suggest u dont take on the job and if u do try and do something that will change those ppls hearts. it’ll take years or maybe even generations…its jus sad that even after all these deaths and news nothing is really done about it…THATS SOCIETY and what ppl REALLY are.

ohmygoodness.
This is a bad trend in Korea.
The stars are like Romeo and Juliet.
The only way they solve their problems is by suicide.

Yumilovkpop's avatar

please don’t judge her.

for people saying

“oh i honestly don’t give a crap about people who suicide just cus of adutions or boyfriend..”


ohplease. shut up. you don’t know what else was going on in her life. it just depends on the way the person was raised. i don’t mean by parenting, i mean. did she have a best friend when she was younger? someone to assure them things will get better? it’s small things like this that shape our thinking and conscience.

If you’re depress… dont commit suicide. it’s not the solution.  COME TO THE PHILIPPINES! watch ROMANTIC ISLAND…. smile

 
UknowYunho's avatar

tragic…. i dont know what to say. RIP.

for readers who have problem and in depressed:

if ur depressed please seek help from your relatives, friends, or whoever can help u.
if u found no one cares about u, talk to God (or whatever u believe), pray, coz i have experience when no ones care about me, but i, when I close myself to God, He makes a way, and theres hope for our problem. and now im happy with my life even when problems are there and still keep coming but at least i know i can and will manage all of it until He call me to His place.
please, be strong and have faith.
