Another Korean Suicide :(

[petticoatvixen.livejournal.com]

Jang Ja Yeon committed suicide at home today. At 7.34 pm her older sister called the police. She hung herself. Her will and notes will be checked. She is normally a bright girl and hence her entertainment company is also very shocked.

She is most well known for the role of Sunny, one of the mean girls, in Boys over flowers.

She died at 4.30pm. Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong and Goo Hye Sun from Boys over flowers went straight to pay their respects after shooting.


Boys Before Flowers Stunned by Suicide

It was another setback and a major one for Boys Before Flowers as one of the actresses, Jang Ja Yun (27) who plays Sunny in the drama and makes life difficult for Jandi as part of the JinSunMi trio was found to have committed suicide in her Bundang home today.

According to the local police from Bundang who confirmed the suicide over the phone, " Jang Ja Yun was found to have committed suicide in her own home today. She was discovered at around 7.34pm this evening by her sister who then called the police. We are now investigating the case and will give further updates like the reason, her will (if any), etc at a later time." The police also revealed that her approximate time of death was around 4.30pm and that she had hung herself.

Friends who knew Jang Ja Yun was shocked by her suicide and expressed, "She had a passion for acting and loved it very much. She was very much a extrovert and we never really expected that she would commit suicide." Her sudden suicide has plunged the entire Boys Before Flowers into shock with the main cast of Lee Min Ho, Goo Hye Sun, etc unable to believe what they have heard after learning of the news from their respective companies.

Everyone involved with Boys Before Flowers will be paying their respects tomorrow morning at her wake after the morning session ends. According to someone at the filming site now, "We are still filming now (10pm, KST) and it was a big shock to receive this sad news suddenly. Why do all the bad things keep happening to Boys Before Flowers?"

Jang Ja Yun graduated from Chosun University and had made her debut through a Lotte Biscuit CF and was only starting out with her acting career. She still won a bit of popularity for her small role in Boys Before Flowers despite her late debut. But it's being reported that a dispute with her present management agency and a lack of time in Boys Before Flowers had left her feeling depressed and eventually causing her to choose the wrong path.

She only recently walked the red carpet at the recent 45th Baeksang Awards with the other 2 members of the JinSunMi trio, showing her excellent figure. She was also going to debut on the big screen with 2 upcoming movies and the future looked bright but her sudden suicide has left people feeling pity for her. What could possibly get worse from here on for Boys Before Flowers? Jang Ja Yun joins a lengthening list of Korean celebrities who have committed suicide in recent years. It's just a very sad situation overall.

aw, damn. :(

I'm starting to think that there is some crazy serial killer going on in Korea who forces celebrities to commit suicide.

[sansogateun.livejournal.com]

This is only my take, but I, too, am starting to think that it's like some freakish ghost or something that possesses people and makes them think they should commit suicide. Something like 'Suicide Club' maybe? =X

I feel sad for her, though. I'd even recognized her in BOF from her previous stints too! R.I.P, Ja Yeon.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

idk! But I'm thinking maybe she had been depressed for a long time and now was the time to do it with the drama on top so ppl would remember her.

Oh my GOD. I just woke my roommate up to tell her this. How tragic. Poor Jang Ja Yeon...I hope she has found her peace and that her family and friends will be strong. :( What is with this BOF curse??? It's awful.

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

This is so sad

I can't believe it. :( So so sad.

IAWTC. They are number 10 in the most up to date statistics which are from 2004 (Japan is slightly higher at number 9).

The US ranks at #43 and yet it seems like we do more for people with suicidal tendencies. Counseling, suicide hotlines, baker act (well, here in Florida anyways...), emergency suicide call boxes on bridges, help seminars at work & schools,... is it really that hard to address the issue & help those who obviously need it??

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!

Sure I hated sunny :( but omg. I cant believe she took her life. BOF is cursed.

[merlinspants.livejournal.com]

i know :( i can't believe how her sister must feel :/

[shonen-key.livejournal.com]

Damn, in the last BoF accident post I wrote about hoping nobody in the series will die.. and now this.


R.I.P.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

WHOA, this is terrible. This reminds me of Okada Yukiko's suicide a little bit (she was an 80's idol in Japan & my favorite from back then *points to icon*). The situations are a little bit different, but both had promising futures & no one expected their deaths to happen.

Whatever problems she had, I hope she finds peace in the next world. My condolences to her family & the BOF cast. :'( RIP

That aside, WTF is wrong with Korea?! D: All these suicides in only a couple of years...

[shonen-key.livejournal.com]

BTW, they've updated with pics from her funeral

[petticoatvixen.livejournal.com]

Oh already? Well I guess it is morning in Korea now... If you don't want to post them I'll make a new post.

[automatic-love.livejournal.com]

WTF? Damn, Korea needs to get on this. I hope she's now in a better place.

[ipartakewithhim.livejournal.com]

Very unfortunate. I hope her loved ones have the support they need at the moment. Each time I hear someone has passed away, no matter who it is I get chills. :(

Not trying to devoid from this but I feel as though filming for BoF will be awkward in retrospect to this.
