A South Korean television personality known as the "happiness preacher" and her husband have been found dead in a motel room in an apparent joint suicide, police said.

A motel employee in the town of Goyang, north of Seoul, found Choi Yoon-Hee, 63, and her 72-year-old husband hanging in their room on Thursday night, they said.

A note left by Choi and released by police read: "I've felt something wrong with my body from two years ago. I have a hard time, suffering from lung and heart diseases."

Advertisement: Story continues below She apologised to her family and friends for giving in to "unbearable" pain.

Police said the husband was believed to have helped his wife commit suicide before killing himself.

Choi wrote about 20 books about happiness and hope and earned her nickname for inspiring people through her TV programs to live happily.

South Korea has the world's highest suicide rate for women among major advanced nations, according to official data, and the second highest rate for men after Japan.

may you find rest

RIP

A woman who wrote books about happiness commits suicide?


I hope this doesn't cause others to snap and think "Well, if happiness preacher can't tough if through, then I can't."

ngl if i had a terminal illness i think i'd consider suicide too before it got really bad

at least they'd had a good 70 and 60 years of life, RIP.
