Jang Ja-yeon (27) chalks up another number for the
increasing cases of celebrity suicides in South Korea
This is really sad news to wake up to on a Sunday morning. Boys Before Flowers actress Jang Ja-yeon (27) committed suicide yesterday. You would recognize her in the popular drama as one of the Mean Girls trio (Jin-Sun-Mi) who would tease lead character Geum Jan-di in school.
Jang Ja-yeon had hanged herself at her apartment and was found dead on the evening of 07 March. Her older sister (whom Jang lived with) found the body. Her sister explained that Jang had suffered from depression and prior to her suicide had been staying inside her room for long periods of time more frequently, signaling perhaps that she was falling into deeper depression. About 10 years ago, Jang lost both parents in a car accident when she was in high school, and has lived with her sister ever since.
What could be the cause of her death? Officials have blamed that anonymous Internet slanderers are to blame of the celebrity suicides (most notably Choi Jin-sil) that preceded hers. Could she have gotten too much hate mail to handle when she played one of the mean girls in uber popular Boys Before Flowers?
Celebrity suicides in South Korea -- we hope, is one trend that WILL STOP.

This is sad news indeed. I really wish the celebrities would discover their self worth and not give in to suicides so easily. May Ms Jang rest in peace.
RIP to her...
neway, is life so cheap that they easily take their own life...??? haish...

Pity and scary at the same time. What kind of depression they're facing? I know some of them are facing financial problem lar.
i agree with daisyjane..self worth and trust..kick their ass!
OMG! I just saw her in Ep. 5 & 6 on KBSWorld more than half an hour ago! I'm shocked upon opening the blog about it. She was such a nice person despite her mean character on BOF. May she rest in peace.
sorry for that...
what a pity...
Saddening. What a loss to all her fans. She's one pretty and talented actress. May she rests in peace
OMG! I loved watching her and the group... That's really sad, man... I just saw the show this afternoon... there goes another talented actress... R.I.P.~~
Oh gosh. This is really sad news. :(
I thought she played her role well. It's suck a waste to see a good talent do this to herself.
if those internet bullies were after her because of her character, they need to learn more about the difference between tv dramas and real life. tsk tsk tsk.
it's jang ja yeon not jang ja myeon...
Oh My God.
R.I.P
