When I read the Star this afternoon, I was shocked to see what was written about Park Song Ha, aged 33. He acted in Winter Sonata and since then, he became very famous. Even Malaysian tourists are taken to the place where this korean series took place.
What happened to him?
Aged 33, handsome... famous... but depressed. He reminded me of Leslie Cheong Kwok Wing, the Hongkong singer/actor, he was also depressed and committed suicide by jumping off the building. Park Song Ha committed suicide by hanging himself in his room with his electric charger, it was written. Poor mum of his.. she was the one who found him the next morning...
Why suicide? So normal, so healthy.... Anita Mui came to my mind. How she fought against cancer to be alive... how others fight on each day to live but could not.. life is so precious....
Depression really kills.... let us be more alert towards our family, our friends... any sign of strangeness in them, send out an SOS... this is the least we can do for them...
I do not now this actor but it is so sad. Depression eats into a person . Certainly help can be given.
ReplyDeleteBe glad with the life that we have. We don't know what path those people has been through.
ReplyDeletewow..sadly there are so many of such cases nowadays.:( Really do have to be concern about our love ones too and not regret it later :( R.I.P Park Song Ha.
ReplyDeletesometimes they are too famous jor. Dont know who to turn to when they have "sum si". Turn to the wrong person then the whole thing will become big huha and known to public.
ReplyDeleteThese quiet ones are in danger the most.
Those who shout say going to die and all that are less likely to do it.
Depression kills
keats: depression can "kill" in a way..
ReplyDeletevanilla: treasure life...
beii: money and fame is not everything... yeah..
kathy: yes when one keeps quiet, then dangerous .. if talkative, then u know he is safe..
Rat race......depression cases on the rise!
ReplyDeleteYes, depression can be dangerous! And it affects everyone. Try to nip depression in the bud, where at the first few signs if u think u r not quite right like no interest in almost everything, do something about it like talking to someone or get medical attention
ReplyDelete"Depression really kills.... let us be more alert towards our family, our FRIENDS... any sign of strangeness in them, send out an SOS... this is the least we can do for them..."
ReplyDeleteThe above statement is just so true.
So sad to see someone so young took his own life. Depression is a killer indeed!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I have not heard of this actor or the show, but look at how handsome and successful he was. He had it all, but yet he didn't! Just goes to show we can have everything of this world, and still nothing. I think of a whole young life just wasted by this tragedy. Someone's pain must be so incredibly unbearable to be able to do this...and his poor mom!! He has left a broken and inconsolable person behind.
ReplyDeletePopped in to say hi. How sad!
ReplyDeleteya i heard abt it last nite...pity eh...so leng cai
ReplyDeleteI salute Anita Mui, you know. She fought til her last breath. While life is hard, sometimes we need to realize that some others fought so much just to live a little while longer. She's my hero. =D Imagine fighting breast cancer to the last moment. I cannot imagine how....
ReplyDeletealot of these cases in korea entertainment world. must be a real stress place to be in. kesian... but still, that's not the best route to take...
ReplyDeletejust like jay chou's 'dao xiang' lyrics *when you fall and think life is not worth living, please on the tv and see how many are fighting courageously for their next breath*
should not take life lightly.....
I can't believe the news too... life is so precious! kesian his parents! Ya, Depression really kills... this is true.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad!! His poor mother!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely heart wrenching episode.. especially to the mother..
ReplyDeletepete: yes, cannot take the pressure.. sigh..
ReplyDeletefoongpc: must read how to overcome depression.. it is not good to be alone and lonely..
ginny: yes, pity the family he left behind.. esp the mum..
blond duck: an unfortunate tragedy..
manglish: leng chai, yau cheen, sang mang.. and yet.. not good to be famous, i guess.. pressured..
ReplyDeletesmallboar: yeah, read somewhere that koreans are one of the high rated country to commit suicide.. :(
serene: must read more about depression...
togetherwesave: everyone pities his mum..
sweetwitch: so young and full of life ahead... :(

ReplyDeleteYes...depression can kill. Yea, once i were quiet and almost get myself kill. Anyway, now i voice out..always said want to die...so you dont need to worry bout me..cos i wont die..hahahhah
ReplyDeleteisley: my girl hasnt start watching then.. but now she is engrossed in the series..
ReplyDeletewenn: i havent been there yet.. but heard of it..
angeline: wonder why...
ling: please dont ever think of it again.. life is not worth just giving it away like that.. think + ly.. so many people are fighting to live.. :p
Yes, depression can be really serious...but do not be deceived if a person looks happy. The mind is a very complex thing... Best thing to do is to give the love and attention needed.
ReplyDeletethis is so sad... you are right, the least we can do is to observe that there's a problem and get help for them.
ReplyDeleteI am aghast to read that this guy committed suicide.From the above picture,he doesn't seem to be someone who'll take such a drastic action.Ending life like this is just pathetic.This is merely a cowardly act.
ReplyDeletestp: if only we can identify before it is too late..
ReplyDeleteboeyjoey: there is always a solution .. right?
website design: actually to commit suicide takes a lot courage, but any sane person will think twice.. only when they get too depressed and cannot think soberly, they end their life..
sad....sooo sad.... not that bcoz he died... but sad on the decision he choose... -_-
ReplyDeleteClair: Certainly a direction in life that is so foolish. I have a hard time grasping it with my mind.
ReplyDeletemy colleague hanged himself with a computer cord,next morning the sister opened his door to see - one of the saddest thing on earth.i do not understand many things in life,and many times it's better not to understands at all.just be cheerful as often as possible.
ReplyDeleteI think a person may not fully understand what really goes through those who suffer from it
ReplyDeleteDepression and end up committed suicide cases from Korea getting more and more!! :(
ReplyDeletecath: yes..dont know what really happened..
ReplyDeletefishingguy: so many wanted to live desperately..
ah ngao: serious? so painful..
robinson: yes, only those undergone before will understand.. we layman cannot..very saddening..
annie: so sad when thinking about that.. life is so precious..
I don't think it is just because of depression. I think it is due to...other factors as well. :(
ReplyDeletetekkaus: u seem to know something? :)
ReplyDeletereanaclaire, he is both my colleague and my friend .
ReplyDelete"Word can clarify our thoughts, but there are numerous imagined that cannot be explained. I'm certain in discussing some tasks, we're a single group, we have only one mind, and also a single mind. So, it really is challenging to us to work in concert, besides we're “clicked”. Comprehensively, with evaluating and studying many projects, I realize that not most folks implement unique and clear layout. But you're the most effective 1, you gave me essentially the most vital factor to grow to be good results and that i found “jewelry”. “Jewelry” I meant is you. That you are prospective designer, possible web programmer, you are artistic people, and that i consider you to turn out to be my group to build or build some future process in my firms. If you don’t thoughts, you can chat with me, so I can predict your likely and huge skills. I'm welcome to perform that. Given that you are probably the most famous person that I knew, it truly is fantastic to tell you for recruitment system will probably be held as quickly as feasible."
