Aww mann.. another suicide?? This is really sad. Condolences to her family & friends. May God give them strength to go through this tough time.

Suicide is real common here actually. Like in the drama Boys Before Flowers, Jan Di was really picked on. In America people think that its just over-reacting but there actually is severe bullying here in Korea. this might not be the case for poor Jang, but suicide is pretty common in Korea, sadly.

I can't belive it...!!!!!!!!!! Why korean actors choose only suicide when they r in depression???? she was so bright.........
It's so sad.........
I hope her family can handle it......

it seems that BOYS BEFORE FLOWERS's casts become always controversial.. aiissshhh

it seems BOYS BEFORE FLOWERS' casts become always controversial...
aiiiiisssshhh.. i wonder who will be "sunny"??

im in shocked after reading this news....
coz' recently they (BBF)have 2 car accidents with their two leading casts
but now there....a suicide.... how sad :(

i hope and i pray that NO ONE IS NEXT...to this
let's pray this will be the last bad happens to the casts and staff of this
popular drama...BOYS BEFORE FLOWERS....coz' as far i can know
this is only SEASON 1and there will be SEASON 2 soon....like HYD japan and
METEOR GARDEN taiwan.....

so let's pray nothing happens...as the drama series goes on...
thank you...

RIP.... "sunny"

first... let's not categorize and say that this is only limited to Koreans. That's just racial. Each situation that has occurred is it's own individual situation and shouldn't be tied to one thing or rather, to a 'drama' as a whole. that's just immature. As fans, lets try to be more respectful of the deceased and not speculate on things we are completely ignorant on. And lets not blame the show as being bad luck. It's only a show albeit, a truly one of a kind, great one and deserves the credit for being such a show that hooks us all in like this. You put down the show/actors efforts and hard work by the racism (koreans and suicide) and speculation (placing a curse on the show???) whereas all they need is your respectful silence and prayers.

RIP Jang Ja-yeon
my prayers go out to her family.

this is scary almost ....freaky ....why are there so many korean actors resorting to such ...? Its just so ...harsh
RIP

@109 cool let's take it to another 2 levels....
I wonder with you too on the american/western views Vs Korean views on "over-reactions vs bullying.

Could Korea also BEEF-UP issues in their counselling curriculum???? Some quiet souls may just be saved.

I suggest that maybe if kindness and time permits that each Agent be trained in these types of issues and counselor-type relationships.

It's worth detecting and saving a soul-literally.

There is no such this as "curses" or watever u wanna call it...
But one things for sure is that there r real life drama's && situations that r uncontrolable && esspecially being that she is an actress... no doubt about the stress and pressure that (not only her) goes through in daily life...

As a fan of Boys B4 Flowers, and a supporter of Korean drama's && their actors; I pray for their saftey and peace. Rest In Peace Jang Ja-Yeon. --___--

OMGGG!!!
THIS IS SO SADDD AND DEPRESSING
it seems as if everything bad is happening to boys before flowers, first kim bum's accident, and kim hyun joong, and lee min ho, and gu hye sun's 2 accdients...
soo saddd...but the drama is really good!!!

I hope that you rest in peace Jang Ja Yeon, i liked her as an actress...but...oh well.....

this is indeed so tragic.
while i do not believe that suicide is racial thing...but this is something i have learnt about the korean culture through watching dramas : if you are an orphan (or even if you have lost one parent)...your social standing isn't ranked very high up especially so during a marriage prospect. correct me if i am wrong..and this is even more pronounced if you are a female.

whatever the reasons behind their action to take their own life...the fundamental one is the loss of HOPE.

i pray that world is a better place for all and let's not loose hope. God bless!

why are there so many koreans commiting suicide??? (no offense)
when some people struggle for them to live, a good example are patients in the hospitals, some are 50/50 but still they struggle to survive and yet others will only waste their lives. why dont they just exchange their life for those people who gives importance for them to live. it such a waste!!!
those people who commit suicide only think of themselves, havent they think of the family that they will left behind?!
(no offense! these is in general)

im not only talking about koreans but in general issues... no offense

What a tragedy... a sad, sad tragedy...

I hope the Korean press respects her family's grief for their loss and doesn't blow this right up into a huge hullabaloo. With the massive following of BBF, no good can possibly come of that.

It's so depressing. It's getting harder and harder to not believe that there is a dark curse hanging over this show.

Rest in peace, Jang Ja-yeon.

I just found out about this. Truly a sad thing.

this is really sad. everyone of us were not expecting she'll turn out to be like this --i mean get suicide. it's also sad for the BOF production because despite the fact of its popularity id thought everyone will be inspired for the same reason and work hard . this is too bad. i hope she has friends where she can vent her problems. I hope she believes in God.

Wow. My friend told me about this today, and boy, was I shocked.

She still had a long way to go ; I wonder why she gave up on life so easily ..

OMG! is this really really true?? She was soo beautiful and i searched her up(but i found out that she wasn't so popular) still, she's pretty and great at acting, R.I.P =[
this is just....depressing...*sobs

cliche....but, all bad things come in threes. hopefully, there won't be anymore.

omgosh, she was so pretty & she gets to act,
she has like so much ahead of her ;
what are they gonna do when they need the 3 mean girls in boys before flowers?
]: best wishes to her family.

OMG!!!
Is this REALLY true??

the reason why all of these young korean actresses commit suicide...
because they are literally forced into prostitution for the rich and elite of korea.
unbelievable, but true...

she committed suicide because her manager forced her to have sex basically raping her. she wrote a diary everytime it happened and left it behind for her family to read it. her manager told her that he would make her famous if she agreed to have sex with him and over people

i really feel sorry for her but i wounder y did she do sucide
we will miss u jang jea jun

Aww This Is so Sad And Hard To Believe
So Many Suicide Incident Happen This Year
It's so Shockingly Scary.....RIP Sunny
She Did a Good Job Playing a Mean Role In
"BOYS BEFORE FLOWERS"
I Just Wish The Best For Her Sister

My friend who introduced me to Boys Over Flowers showed me this article in the Guardian newspaper yesterday. I found it SO sad. It’s tragic and wrong that such a young and promising actress should have felt like this, and I’m really sorry to hear it. I am a bit behind in the BOF series so if I see her in it again I’ll feel deep sadness. She was a very comical and convincing Sunny and I enjoyed her performance. Rest in Peace Jang
xxx

Wow, this is really sad to hear. She was a really good actress and gorgeous. So sad.

how sad.. :(

OMG...its make me feel shock..its so unbelieveable to happen..

RIP.... Jang Ja-yeon

sad to hear.. :(
but i think that there is something behind it.(just my opinion)
just ignore it..
but i just read an article that his manager is their suspect and there is a foul play or jang ja yeon was just forced to commit a suicide..
again this is just my theory..
anyway, her parents die because of car accident.

It's a pity to see a girl die so young and beautiful. Though she may have not been a popular actress but surely her career was only beginning. Rest in peace. I hope her case will help change the actions and opinions of many so that in the future this would not occur to another victim. Its sad to know that even in today's modern society and such a well-respected and strong moral place like Korea there are still many issues that occur behind the scenes in which the media never reports. I hope her family will be able to go through with their loss.

sana na realiza niya kung bakit siya nagpapakamatay when infact maganda siya mabait at healthy pa... sa comment ko siguro hindi siya nagpapakamatay kasi alam ko na alam niya na sobrang ganda siya at kapag lalake ako siguro may crush na ako sa kanya

pero bilang isang babae ma feel mo naman kung nagpapakamatay siya o hindi kasi kapag nagpakamatay siya bakit hindi noon pa bakit ngayon lang, bakit? dahil gusto niya ituloy ang life niya bilang korean na artista at bilang isang tao...... alam ko naman na gusto kung ituoy ang story nila.............sinabi ko lahat to kasi HINDI ako ang pumatay sa kanya kun di kasi nakikiramay ako sa kanya..... ang proof ko nag comment na ako sa ibang website tungkol dito kasi i care for many people

sana nakikiramay kayong lahat sa nangyari sa kanya..........sana talaga.........
-chelle-

p.s
that's a cruel death
and she is a pretty actor and great too.

im so so sad !!!!

condolence to her family

Jang Ja Yeon was a nice actress.How can she be like this?

Not the producer who force her to entertain and to have sex with several program directors, and CEOs but her old manager, in the article there is no saying that ja yeon was force by the producer of kkotboda namja

how can the producer of kkotboda namja to be a stupid, he/she do not force Ja Yeon to entertain and to have sex with several pogram directors and CEOs but her ex-manager there is no identification of the one who force ja yeon to entertain those program directors and CEOs how can you say it is the producer's fault?

poor girl, the government should punish those who force her including the middleman, because forcing a person to have sex is under RAPE.

wtf???????// Jang Ja Yeon is dead??/ Tat is sooooooooo sad and i reli hope tat her family can live through this terrible terrible tragedy!!!!!!!! Even though she wasn't reli popular- should her position in popularity even matter morally? She's a human being for cryin out loud, i mean yeh sure she was in a few dramas, including BBF but ppl cum on!!!!!!!!! This is a woman who has taken her own life!!!!!!!!!! This is not a drama episode, this is real life and yes, life is hard and there are suicides goin on in almost every country in the world. So, we must treat this issue with respect and not demoralise it by showing our stupid and quite immature angst and puzzlement at whose gonna play the character 'Sunny' if theres a BBF 2, cause frankly tat says jus hw low our compassion has become - as if we're freakin robots or sumthin, gosh!!!!!!!!
Ppl, wake up and smell the damn coffee, when ppl die you pay your respects and give it the silence it deserves, don't fill the deserved silence with rattling fields of gossip, rumours and ur basic shit-stirrin plz. Its because of our inhumane stoicism which i believe has lead to many around the world who has committed suicide from achieving the ultimate level of happiness which almost everyone aims for but few truly attain. Also they refrain from being able to have the confidence to ask for help as because we implement this 'inhumane stoicism' in our attitudes and very essence of life, this causes those who are not strong enough to handle this form of attitude to either become a very introverted person and stay in their house the majority of the time or commit suicide- of which many seem to do the latter when they snap after years of being introverted about their situation which we call life.
Sadly life is hard, and we do have to live in this world unless we either die of natural causes, get murdered or commit suicide or the other option, but this is what we have to expect and even though i as a human being do despise this so-called 'inhumane stoicism' of which i have observed countless times in many different environments in my lifetime and have also rebelled against such an attitude. I am also aware that i can't change the whole world, thus it is much more better to learn how to fight your own battles WITHOUT the help of others, interestingly enough i not only learnt this lesson through tough life experiences of being left to fend for myself in tense situations but also i have learnt this from very wise dramas. However, those dramas focused on this lesson of life because it is something that could be useful for everyone in whatever stage of their life tat they are in, im jus sad tat Jang Ja Yeon didn't learn tat lesson and fight against this horrendous manager tat she had and also against this horrendous media industry which could make or break a person from a mere rumour. What ppl don't realise is that ugliness and evil can exist beneath beaming smiles and twinkling eyes of kindness, surely Roald Dahl taught us tat with The Landlady story? Oh, you guys haven't read tat story have you>? Well, im recommendin it nw, jus shows tat u should always be alert and fight for yourself but never give up life, no matter how hard it gets- you neva knw whether this is the only life tat u get. & remember, the fact tat u are livin a life should be sumthing lucky in itself, we humans are never satisfied but to be honest, we are just mere atoms and atmosphere, why worry about how you look when you can explode in less than a second and become absolutely nothing? Jus live life to the full and don't you dare go die on me lol. Luv ya, peace out and of course, R.I.P Jang Ja Yeon (1 MIN SILENCE)- i hope they have sum roller-coasters in heaven (if there is one), tat would be kwl

damn if i looked like that id have nothing to be sad about...

"Best wishes to Jang’s family. "

Who ever is the writer to this report is so cruel?

Why would he/she write such this?

Be careful with your words... You cannot say "Best wishes" to the family hwom their loved one had died in any circumstances.

"CONDOLENCE" is the proper word!
