Young Actress Woo Found Dead


Woo Seung-yeon
A young South Korean actress has been found dead at her home in southern Seoul in what appears to be a suicide, Yonhap News Agency reported Tuesday, quoting a police source.

The body of Woo Seung-yeon, who played a supporting role in several films and worked as a model, was discovered by her live-in friend, police said, noting she appeared to have hanged herself. The 26-year-old actress left an alleged suicide note, saying "I love my family. I'm so sorry to leave early."

Woo's family members and friends told police investigators that she has been under severe stress after recently failing to pass auditions for new roles.

Celebrity suicides are on the rise in South Korea, which witnessed suicides of top movie actress Choi Jin-sil, young TV actress Jang Ja-yeon and actor Ahn Jae-hwan over the past year.

Great points Pastor, although it will bring the expect hate message from Moron666. Man was put on this earth to do God's work. Moron666 is just a lazy, selfish bastard who looks to God to do all of the things for him he should be doing for himself. Man should be creating the agencies that help these people. Any other opinion is just an excuse for laziness. Arsemoron, get off your Big Mac chomping ass and do something for a change except piss and moan.

WARNING RELIGIOUS RANT: Arc666: Church is not the only answer~ God is the answer... and God uses many different methods to get His Will accomplished.. Throughout history we see God working through His direct intervention, the government, education, through people (even sinners) and lastly through the church.. We must not limit God's power to one institution...

Let me guess what your going to say: esl knows nothing and prove once again I am right about him..^^

Like I said before: This issue must be addressed by all interested parties.. the family, friends, the government through the use of media,education, and social outreach programs.. and lastly the church even though many have outreach programs for the lost and the hurt...must do even more...

However, remember we never read about the people that change their mind about suicide we only read about the failures..

churches do not need to seekaid from the government nor the schools. anyone who advocates such activity is saying God is not capable to solve this problem. God does not share the glory and He will do it in a matter that leaves NO DOUBT He was the one who provided the answer, and the means. time for the church to stop compromising their beliefs and make a stand for God.
