Park Yong Ha known for his role as "Sang Hyeok" in the korean Drama "Winter Sonata" commited suicide. He was found in his appartment after he hung himself up. Apparantly he was stressed because his father had cancer.

Its not Yonsama. so no mass suicide in Japan.
 
"hanging from a mobile phone charger cable in his own house."

according to the WIKIPEDIA.

Wonder how often that's been used in suicides.

I can understand the stress of having your father die from cancer. It wears on you like few things can.

But not to this level.

Sorry he felt compelled to do this.

This is terrible, but I went from "Holy shit!" to "Who?"
But it's still a sad thing.
 
His father hasn't died yet.

And he is the son, he makes enough money to take care of his father the best possible given his condition.

So he chooses to inflict this horrible pain on his cancer stricken father, and his mom found him?

Sagaji up neun ship sekki ya.

Fucking punk, what a horrible son.
 
For a sec I thought it was Yonsama. False alarm.

Then again, if you were Yonsama, WOULD YOU COMMIT SUICIDE?! Probably not.
 
Man...still remember going to Japan and seeing a store dedicating everything ONLY to "Yon-sama"

Terrible news. Though not unexpected as a lot of Korean celebs commit suicide for various reasons.

As for 'dealing with your father dying', it's already been mentioned that his father isn't dead, but I've met enough Koreans with extremely close ties to their parents. One even said, "I hope I die when my mom dies" or something to that extent.
 
Hmm I don't get why successful actors and actresses would do this. I know of 2 Koreans actresses as well. They weren't on the decline either.

That's moms.

Fathers....may illicit different reactions.
 
His father was already weak and dying and must be going through all kinds of stress and mental battles himself...


Now you add this to his suffering.


Last days and all...

I don't feel sorry for their actions, but that doesn't mean I don't feel sorry for their situation.

Wow. That must have been a hell of a cellphone charger. I would think that the cord would pull out of it with the weight of a person on it.
 
It must be horrible knowing that you've accomplished so much, yet can do nothing for the important people in your life.

I feel sorry for the guy.
 
what a piece of shit. He's depressed about his dad so he kills himself? Great! I hope the old man never finds out but he most likely knows about this. Nice present for a dying father to leave this life with. Selfish prick.

most people would agree that if you're letting down family and loved ones by killing yourself then you're an asshole. Also, as someone who values life really highly i think he's an asshole for pissing life away regardless. i hope he at least left a tip for the people that have to untie him and lug his corpse out.

You know I kind of agree. What a prick and I hope no one feels sorry for him. This might even make his fathers condition worse.

We don't know that's the only reason yet. Just because the report says so doesn't make it a gospel.

for this guy, i really doubt there's an undiscovered reason that would justify killing himself before his fathers death.

why's this?

i really want to argue the merits of killing yourself to escape dealing with the stress of your dying father

How the hell do you know he killed himself only because his father had cancer or not? I despise people who deem themselves epitome of humanity and cast judgment on other people's decisions.

im pretty judgmental on anyone that commits suicide unless theyre starving/abused or something equally severe. it's because of my own personal value system. the fact that this guy had to kill himself before his fathers death just makes it a lot worst. do i think im the epitome of humanity? no. but just like anyone else here that would talk down a murderer, thief or whatever, i feel suicide is in most cases a despicable act.

What about the people who jumped from the WTC?

And if they are indeed pathetic, as you elected to describe them, then does that not mean you already feel a sense of sorrow for them?

There's really nothing else I can think of to say to this except fuck you, idiot.

Dude probably had depression for a while now. I don't know how long his father has been in that state, but that was probably the last cup of water that overflowed his bucket. Suicide usually isn't sudden regardless of stress and sorrow. Who knows, he might have done it regardless of his father's condition. Everyone calling him pathetic has no clue about his mental well being or how long he's been afflicted with such thoughts.
