Actress Choi Jin Shil committed suicide

Posted on October 2, 2008 by sookyeong

Another Korean artiste just passed away.

Actress Choi Jin Shil committed suicide and her body was found this morning. She is divorced and had left behind 2 children.

Choi Jin Shil was found to have commited suicide in her home in Seocho-gu, Seoul. According to the police, her body was found this morning in her bathroom at 6.15am and they are now investigating. “We received news of her suicide and went to verify it. We are now investigating,” said the police. It was later revealed by another police officer that her mother had called the police after discovering that she had hanged herself in the bathroom.

She is likely to have been pushed over the edge over the fact that she had a hand to play in Ahn Jae Hwan’s death who committed suicide last month by lending him 2.5M USD. But she had alleged that it was a malicious rumor and had threatened legal action. She leaves behind her ex-husband and children. My condolences to her family members. We didn’t need this.

This is really tragic.

Whatever the reason, I don’t think it is important. What is important is that she left behind 2 really young kids – a 7-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter. And she divorced former baseball player Cho Sung-min in 2004

RIP

    Looking at pictures of her kids smiling makes me feel really painful.

  22. ahshi, on October 2, 2008 at 9:42 am said:

    i feel bad for the kids… they’re too young to be facing their parents’ divorce 4 years ago and now their mother is gone… i just hope they will grow up strong and good people…

    rest in peace to chi jin shil and hope she will continue to look after her children even though she’s in the afterlife already…

    what is wrong with the korean entertainment world lately?

    i feel really sorry for her kids.
    they’re so young and have to grow up without a mother
    i can’t R.I.P to her now…. because no matter what the reason is
    I still think what she did was irresponsible.
    to both her kids and herself.
