South Korea’s most popular actress, Choi Jin-sil found dead!
Posted by: admin In: Celebrities |
Choi Jin-sil, whose fame earned her the nickname “The Nation’s Actress,” is believed to have hanged herself in the bathroom of her Seoul home, said Yang Jae-ho, chief investigator at Seoul’s Seocho Police Station.
Family members said she had been depressed since a 2004 divorce and was distraught over rumors linking her to the suicide of a fellow actor a month ago, he said. She had denied the rumors that she had pressed the actor to pay back a large loan.
“It’s obviously suicide,” Yang told reporters, citing a doctor’s examination of Choi’s body and testimony from family members and friends. He said an investigation was under way.
An autopsy was planned for later in the day.
No formal suicide note has been found, but Choi sent her makeup assistant cell phone text messages twice Wednesday night asking her to “take care of (my) children no matter what happens” and telling her that “I’m sorry,” the investigator said.
Choi’s mother told police that the actress returned home drunk around midnight Wednesday, crying and denying the rumor surrounding the other actor’s suicide, before going into the bathroom, Yang said.
Choi, 39, made her debut in the late 1980s and as a bright-eyed ingenue, quickly becoming one of South Korea’s best-loved actresses. She starred in a number of box-office hits, including the films “My Love, My Bride” of 1990 and “How to Top My Wife” of 1994, and TV dramas such as “Jealousy,” “My Rosy Life” and last year’s “Bad Woman, Good Woman.”
