I think you got the wrong person? The news report doesn't mention that it's the 여주인공. Anyway, that's terrible. Can't believe it. I've been watching this series.

Maybe someone had sex vids of her and was black mailing her?

I have no idea why suicide seems to be fashionable to Korean celebs. I think it would be better to have a scandal than kill yourself.

Sometimes "face" just doesn't work.

... remember, the sex vids was just a theory. I bet tv celeb pressure is pretty damn harsh for a kid.

I'm thinking that these aren't all suicides. Now you can pretty much kill a celebrity and people will think it was suicide.

10 years from now we may discover that all of these "suicides" were murders.

yeah, Korea doesn't really have one of the highest suicide rates in the world

it's really quite a murderous place disguised as a depressing, hopeless hole high on social pressure, conformity and soul-less pursuit of status and wealth

Maybe the media should stop reporting these suicides. The fantasy of having all these newspapers and websites going 'Aigo! such a terrible waste of talent and beauty' might be a factor of encouragement for some of these mid-level struggling actors to step over the rim. In my country they give suicides bare-minumum coverage these days. I think there might even be legislation restricting how much the media is allowed to write and how such deaths can be presented - i.e. without salacious details and eulogizing.
