I'm so shocked when I read this news at allkpop a moment ago. I still couldn't believe it. He is so young, such promising career...

Korea need to do something about their growing suicide rates... ensure better treatment for depression, stop treating psychological problems like a shameful matter.

oh WoW...another young celebrity dead. I wonder if anyone could give us greater insight to the Korean culture's opinion on suicide? In the last few years, there seems to have been an unusually high [relatively speaking] number of young celebrity suicides...that's so depressing.

Yes, it's crucial that society need to lift this taboo so that more people can get help.
