No, it’s not Sa Kang from Soulmate. There’s a bit of a resemblance though (at least in the post-op photos).

I didn’t know her, but I’m sad for her. This struck me more than Choi Jin-shil’s death for so many reasons, one being that Jang Chae-won is 2 years my junior and…it’s always so sad and hard to accept when someone younger dies, isn’t it? You can’t help but wonder how did that happen? Why you get to survive when others don’t. I recently almost died (not a suicide attempt, mind you, but the end-result was pretty much the same) and yeah, I’m particularly vulnerable and sensitive to certain things, this -people dying- is one. So sad for her.

I hear that they’re discussing cyberslander laws. I don’t agree with that because I feel that would violate the principle of freedom of speech but I do wish the people writing the slandering/hurtful messages would reach some sort of enlightenment and stop “reporting” such hurtful, usually false rumors. Words hurt and the consequences have not been pretty. Unfortunately though I get the sense that there are some that enjoy the negative impact they have on others and twistedly revel in what there words are capable.(Think Death Note)

this is already getting scary, I thought that this case is a copy cat suicide, just a day after Choi Jin-shil’s death, I agree with all people posting here that something should be done the soonest possible time about it, how about Entertainment agencies having their resident Psychiatrist to check on the celebrities under stress, to prevent any such thing to happen again…and the Korean Government should really take a good look at this too
