R.I.P Choi Jin Shil
Just gotten a really sad news from Qi, Korean actress Choi Jin Shil committed suicide this morning.My god, my hair stood when i read this. Cos i ever watch 2 of her shows before. So i had a quite good impression of who she was. She's been in the industry for like 20 years, and Korea sees her as one of the da jie da of the entertainment. "...Yet the low points of her personal life were as low as the high points of her career were high. In 1994 her manager was murdered by her driver, and she took the witness stand in a highly publicized trial. She married a star baseball player in 2000, only to separate in 2002 and officially divorced in 2004 following episodes of domestic violence; she had to pay her husband in exchange for his relinquishing custody of their two children. Adding insult to injury, she was sued for $3 million by the company that hired her as a spokeswoman, on the basis that her mismanagement of private life caused damage to the value of the company. Her career was left for dead. Despite all this, she plugged on. Her acting now added a dimension of tenacity for life, which resonated with the unglamourous yet unrelenting spirit of Korean ajummas. Gradually, her star rose again. She became an inspiration for divorced women, who were not seen kindly in the Korean society although they were increasing in number. She dared to change her children last name into her own, drawing the ire of traditionalists...." She went through so much, was so strong, but i think the rumour over Ahn Jae Hwan's death was the last straw. She just had a comeback in her career and this got to happen. So sad. R.I.P Choi Jin Shil, you will always be remembered. And I really pray theres no more deaths for the Korea Entertainment world. Its too much to bear. abstracted from AskaKorean@Blogspot |
