Heartbreaking news broke out in the South Korean entertainment industry when it was revealed that actress Yoo Joo-eun passed away by suicide last Monday, 27 of August.
This sad fact was shared by Yoo’s brothers through the actress’s personal Instagram account, which has since been deactivated.
“ On 29 August 2022, Joo-eun left this place and went to a comfortable place. If you have time, please say hello to Joo-eun on your way,” read the post that also shared a note written by Yoo Joo-eun apologizing to her family, insisting that she had thought about this for a long time. .
“I’m sorry I left first. I am especially sorry for mom, dad, grandma and oppa (older brother). My heart screams that I don’t want to live. Life without me may be empty, but please live bravely. I will watch everything. Do not Cry. They will feel hurt. Right now I’m not sad at all. I feel determined and calm. I think it’s because I’ve thought about this for a long time”, is how the letter starts.
This 27-year-old successful artist born in Korea del Sur starred in major productions such as ‘Big Forest’ and ‘Joseon Survival Period’, among many others.
“I have lived such a happy life that it was more than I deserved. Therefore, it is enough for me. This is enough. So please live without blaming anyone else. I’m not dead, so everyone please live well. I hope that a lot of people will be called to my funeral, and I want to see everyone for the first time in a while and see who is having a hard time,” Yoo Joo-eun wrote.
According to Yoo, he no longer wanted to continue in the profession he dreamed of so much: “I wanted to act so much. Maybe it was my everything, and it was a part of me. However, living that life was not easy. I don’t want to do anything else. That was so desperate. Having something you want to do is a blessing, but I realized that just wanting to do that is a curse”, she added.
And she concluded her letter by writing: “Thank you for understanding me and hugging me, that she was needy and impatient. I’m sorry I can’t express it well. But you’ll still understand how I feel, right? And to all those precious relationships that I have made, especially with the teachers, I was very grateful and respected all of them. Thank you very much for teaching me so many things about life. Mom, dad, I love you. Do not Cry. Please”.
As reported by People, Yoo Joo-eun’s funeral will be held this August 31 at the funeral hall of Ajou University Hospital in Suwon-si, Gyeonggi- do.
