Daul Kim’s company reveals suicide as cause of death

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

The company of late top model Daul Kim speaks up officially about her death.

Kim SoYeon, representative of Esteem Model, said on 24th November, “Kim Daul has hung herself at her home in France Paris on 19th November.”

“Her body was found at local time 9.30am on 19th November, we cannot confirm the time of death. A memorial will be held for her on 23rd November by family and friends.”

And about the reasons for Daul Kim’s suicide, the representative said, “This girl has started out modelling at a very young age, and she felt the intense anxiety and uneasiness about the rest of her life. In addition, she was not able to live the normal life like any girls at her age. We suspect that she had felt confused and lost, after experiencing the difference in anticipation before and after she has reached the top of her career.”

“The reason why we did not come out to announce her death officially is that we do not want to further cause hurt to her soul.”

Sometimes it's those that put up the strongest front who are so fragile inside :(

T_____T RIP.

I still can't believe she's gone. :(

[faithgrowsold.livejournal.com]

god damn. it's hard to believe a woman so fierce and so strong and so beautiful could be so fragile. poor girl ;_;

Okay I have to get this out of my chest...

I have been following her for a while and a lot of comments that people have made about her make me sick (Not in this community). Because she is truly a fashion icon there are several bloggers and other ppl who have decided to comment on her suicide. It pisses me off that people are blaming her suicide on non existent facts.
1)I truly believe she didn't have an eating disorder so wtf with all the comments like "models live a miserable life because of the pressure to be thin"
2)Why do people always blame the family? "OMFG she is so young and her family abandoned her in paris..." She did talk in her blog about missing her family but I don't think her family is responsible for what happened. Its truly a tragedy and I'm sure her family is suffering a lot.

Those are the two that made me angry the most. I'm glad her agency finally decided to talk about this and try to set the record straight. I think she was a fragile and sensitive girl who felt lost in this world. And the fact that her own people didn't understand her many times obviously didnt help and made her feel more out of place.

***Sorry if this doesnt really make a lot of sense... its 3:50 AM and I'm currently ~working~ on two final papers for tomorrow ;___;

what bothers me the most are the people who are commenting with their own opinions about her death, her health and the possible reasons why committed suicide. yes, daul made many of her thoughts public on her blog, but that doesn't give any of us the right to try to analyze them and draw conclusions based on that.
i may have identified with many of the feelings she expressed on her blog, but i'm not going to assume i know what she was thinking. i just hope she's at peace now.

ah i know what you mean. my roommate kept saying 'maybe its because.. (EXACTLY what you wrote in #1)' and i'm like... no... i don't think that's the reason at all.

She made jokes about her family being weird and uncaring, but who doesn't? Underneath it all, she still loved them! It's unfair to blame it on her family!

I just think she was very confused and emotionally conflicted, and as you said, sensitive. Everyone has that moment when they're down and question who their true friends are, or what they're supposed to do with their life ... Daul seemed to have a lot of those moments. I'm just wondering why no one around her sensed it.

It's such a shame, she was an amazing talent. Too soon :( RIP Daul

Ugh, I know, right.
No one will ever know the real reasons, so everyone should keep out of it.
(Even though it's hard, for me too.)

I miss her already.
Wish I didn't have to read about it on my birthday. ~.~

Oh well, for people like us who admired her, she'll always be our idol.

Re: Okay I have to get this out of my chest...

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

this happened on my 19th too.
my sister told me on my way to amsterdam.
i cried so much.
i feel like korea is losing such a good role model.

i really wish it wasnt like this.
i miss her so much already

Re: Okay I have to get this out of my chest...

[bellaprincess9.livejournal.com]

Yeah, when I told my mom she immediately suggested #1. Instead of people speculating, because we don't know, they should just pray for her and her family during this time.

IA. I never comment here but I've been following her for a long time, too. She was really an inspiring person to me and I've read her blog for the past year and a half.

But it really pisses me off that even though I've been a really dedicated reader and I've followed her career since near the beginning I can't begin to piece together what could have caused her suicide, yet everyone and their mother has an opinion about why she did it. No one knows why she killed herself or what led up to it except for her. It's just disrespectful to Daul and her family to make up reasons ("oh she was anorexic and couldn't take the pressure of being thin," "she missed korea/her family," etc) when it may have had nothing to do with any of that to begin with.

She was obviously depressed, but this is between her and the people who were involved in her personal life, not bloggers on the internet who want attention.

This didn't make a lot of sense either because I'm like half awake. >:o Sorry if this reply is kind of late.

[aunts.livejournal.com]

I'm still not over the fact that she's gone, mostly because she was someone that I frequently watched this past year.

May her soul find solace in heaven. RIP.

[x3eviie.livejournal.com]

It's still hard for me to believe that she's gone... I'll forever be in disbelief ;____;
R.I.P bbgirl...you'll be missed.<3

[tribuo-venerati.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I'm still in utter disbelief. As tragic as every public suicide has been, this one has hit me the hardest by far. It really pains me because she was truly a rare gem - beautiful, intelligent, artistic, and soulful.

RIP Daul Kim.

god this so much.

[bitmoo.livejournal.com]

this .__. mte.
I can't get over this, it feels so unfair and sad.

[bitter-sweet05.livejournal.com]

The amount of death this year has been unacceptable. =( RIP, bb.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

I was thinking the same. Bad year is bad.

Say hi to forever.

[emmathejunebug.livejournal.com]

Say goodbye to today.

(I hope she sleeps undisturbed.)

[nene718.livejournal.com]

ugh so tragic.

[eleclya111.livejournal.com]

She really looks like Sungmin there....R.I.P.

[bellaprincess9.livejournal.com]

I think that is a really beautiful picture of her up there.

[taecyeons-teeth.livejournal.com]

Man, I still can't believe she's gone :( I just recently got to know her!
They even reported about her death on the news yesterday... that felt a bit like a smack in the face. Smacked in the face by reality *sigh*

[angel-of-blue.livejournal.com]

May her lost soul come to its peaceful destination :(
I feel like crying ;__;

:(

[joba-grota.livejournal.com]

I still can't believe that she's dead.
I haven't finish reading her blog but i can no longer access it.
:(

[orangeinsanity.livejournal.com]

;sigh; This is so sad, I'm always so conflicted with suicide cases. I feel more sympathy for the family than I do the actual person.

[p-jae.livejournal.com]

She was so beautiful.
Rest in peace. <3

The reason why we did not come out to announce her death officially is that we do not want to further cause hurt to her soul.

Her agency handled everything with so much respect for her, it's really touching and her family and friends probably really appreciate that.

I think the people at her agency knew her quite well but at the same time this very fact makes me wonder why none of her closer acquaintances or friends was able to prevent such a tragic thing from happening.

I'm not blaming anyone here (not at all!), but if they knew she had such huge issues with her success maybe they could have found her someone who could offer her help or advice to make it easier for her to deal with those problems.

This still makes me wanna cry. :(
