R.I.P, lots of people in asia commit suicide this days.
sad .. Dx

How sad. She was one of the few Asian models I thought could be a huge Asian influence in the modelling world.

Damn. I so was not expecting this. Totally took me by surprise.

RIP

I haven’t read her blog in a while. I’ll have to go check it out (Gah, morbid curiosity.)

Sweet angel, God bless you.

She just posted something on her blog yesterday morning too.
Sad, I really liked her.

R.I.P

rip…she was so young! her blog was interesting to read.

@ michelle
she lived in NY.

so sad. R.I.P

good im am so sad really.. its so wierd to me…suicide is not the answer to your problems…..she was really prertty and a good model

Could it have been some kind of accidental overdose? In some obscene way, I almost wish it was because the thought of it being a suicide just kills me inside. I don’t know anything about this young woman — I vaguely recall some reference on a fashion blog about rising Asian supermodels — but the idea that she felt so much pain that she felt her only option was to kill herself leaves me shaken.

But then suicide just cuts me up anyway. Maybe it’s because it is so, so, so completely preventable.

Seems that Korean women commit suicide more than men. There are similar trends in other Asian countries. We desperately need more support — mental and cultural — for women in Asian countries.

It makes me extra stabby to see all the negative portrayals of women in K-dramas. If it is a women-centered drama, expect cat-fights, bitch-fights, competition. Take for example You’re Beautiful: The aunt — a total idiot. The mother — a total psycho. Yoo Ai Hee — a total psycho. In contrast, the manager: a sweetheart. The president: a kindly guy. Shin Woo: gentle, unimposing. Jeremy: adorable.

And YAB is not even an exception.

Women of the world: YOU ARE LOVED JUST AS YOU ARE. Believe it!
/rant over

Oh my. This is really sad.

agent darwin you are too on point and I am listening to everything you are saying especially your last post just before the one you posted now.

Hehe…I have just been called someone who like to preach in a soap box!! Night night….zzzzz…..

@Nom Kitteh: awwh. i love you for writing that [:

it really saddens me theyre saying it looks like suicide… i almost wish they’d find out that it was actually something else, because suicide just seems too sad and terrible to me. in high school, you learn things like “suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.” but i think you’d have to really feel that life was too hopeless, and that your problem wasnt temporary in order to kill yourself… and thats really sad. i dont know. the thought of it being a suicide is just too sad…

I can’t believe she’s dead. I loved her photoshoots and also was a follower of her blog.
I’m going to miss looking forward to her next shoots.
RIP, I hope she is happy, wherever she is.

This ___ sucks. She was only 20. Have no idea why she did this, none. Could rattle off a list of possibilities, but don’t want to suggest where I have no business. Didn’t know her, but the thought of suicide leaves me shaken, too, and angry.

I agree with Nom_Kitteh, the only way a girl can be loved, it seems, is if she’s childlike and submissive. It gets creepier the longer you think about that. Really sad, this news…

@Agent Darwin~~Whoa…I could run with that, but my brain is now buzzing angrily and I haven’t had any coffee.

Came across her and her blog earlier this year. Never realized how young she was… RIP.

OMG why oh why??????????
R.I.P Dual Kim.

RIP.. Daul Kim… so SAD….

It is indeed a shame to hear of so many beautiful people especially Korean ladies commiting suicide. I would personally hope that the police are using all of the forensic abilities available to them this day and age to prove that it is a suicide and not a homicide. It just does not fit with the people that are supposedly killing themselves – mothers leaving children behind and models with such success and beauty just getting her momentum. I can understand coming from an unstable country with the potential for war and uncertainty but that also creates a much stronger person/character – an acheiver, which these people have been. I think a closer look should be taken at some of the men in their lives to ensure that they were not behind these wonderful people’s deaths.

I feel sorry for the ones left behind, I feel a mixture of anger and hopelessness towards the perpetrator, suicide touches more than just one person, mental anguish is a f_ _ _ing bitch, but going out in this manner is the ultimate tragedy. Not only Asian Females choose this way out, but in a Culture were self worth is base not on inner peace and inner beauty, the alternative will always produce a higher number of victims, it brakes my heart, may we all find inner peace, and may God have mercy on us all…. (

#34 pongs – “Could someone enlighten me on “hav(ing) to find inner balance and inner peace through cultivating spiritual intelligence and cultural intelligence.” ?”

this is just a high falutin” way of saying this —– being thankful and finding happiness with what you already have in your life. learn to appreciate the little things in life – sunshine, rain, love of a child, tears, laughter, love of your family, friends, rainbow, a cup of hot coffee, a slice of cake, a good drama/movie, a good book (even a bad one), a beautiful poem (even a bad one also), a green joke, even the fact that you are still alive in this insane world should be appreciated. when you learn to appreciate the “little things” in your life you will find that no problem will be big enough to make you think of taking your own life.

Poor girl… Reading her blog, I felt like she was loveless and on heroin… RIP

Ini adalah gejala gradasi spiritual yang parah. Sangat memprihatinkan. Mereka pikir, kematian adalah sebuah langkah terakhir dari pemecahan masalah yang dihadapi saat ini. Tapi apakah, dengan kematian masalah akan selesai? Tidak. Karena dia akan dikenang sepanjang catatan sejarah, sampai dunia ini berakhir. Hanya akan meninggalkan sejarah yang buruk tentang dirinya. Apakah tidak bisa, setidaknya kita meninggalkan dunia ini dengan catatan yang baik untuk dikenang, bukan? Mereka lupa pertanyaan : mengapa kita dilahirkan? Siapa yang menghadirkan kita di dunia ini? Ada kekuatan di luar, yang memiliki kuasa untuk mengendalikan kehidupan di alam raya ini. Yang mengganti siang dan malam, yang membuat langit tanpa tiang, yang membuat bumi ini berputar. Dia yang juga berkuasa atas hidup kita. Maka kita tidak ada hak untuk mengakhirinya. Mereka sudah lupa tentang Tuhan. Mereka tidak memilikinya di hati mereka. Hanya materialisme, percaya hanya pada yang terlihat. Betapapun dia memiliki banyak kesuksesan, dia akan merasa gagal dalam hidup, karena mereka tidak punya makna dan tujuan hidup itu sendiri. Menyedihkan.

Life is only once. Like Lee So Hyun (Capital Scandal) said “Keep alive, to revenged bitterlife. Keep alive, illness make you will be stronger.” It means: if you give up at all, you are weak, you nothing. And you proper to die, the world don’t need the people like this. The future just be owned the strong people, who is faith in God, existention of him, faith in life circle before and after in the world. Actually, we should be patient, our time end had written before we’ve borned. Just wait fo while, it will be over all the way. Our duty is only make the best history on grace that God have given us. Life is too sweet to missed. Don’t ever be sorry.

Whoa..this is sad. If she did commit suicide because she was overworked, stressed or depressed she should of seeked help like going to counseling or find someone to talk to about how you are feeling. It really helps if you let it out!! If you find it is too tough for you to handle, get out of that situation. Don’t let it overcome you and take your life. It doesn’t help you or anyone else. It just creates too many questions too many more unanswered questions. Most of all, your loved ones are the ones who really are hurt in the end.

Anyways, not to be mean but I don’t think she is pretty at all. Just tall, lanky and has a nice facial structure but overall, for me she doesn’t have that OMG, how pretty factor. Just my opinion, don’t shoot.
