[Video] Stars bid teary final farewell to actor Lee Sun-kyun

[@hpeace5916]

The bar hostess who blackmailed him for money after she gave him the drugs is a true parasite that sucked the life out of him. So tragic! He will be greatly missed. 🙏

Nothing is confirmed yet. He had also availed of pr0stitution services while still married as far as I’ve heard. I hope the truth comes to light without harming more people.

[@emilyl1094]

@@Sakura-ko9gh The bar hostess and her co-conspirators should be charged, shamed and criticised by the locals, Knetizens, media and other platforms. Even the K-media and police played a part on his demise by openly publishing the case details including the teleconversations between the bar hostess and Mr Lee were leaked while still under investigation. He must be feeling very desperate and hopeless with no support from anyone and also owing so much penalty fees to his sponsors, advertisers and film company. RIP to Mr Lee, a great actor loved and missed by many🙏🏼

He's an adult, he should've known the consequences considering he's in south korea. Also, he had a wife and two kids and he cheated on her with other women. Of course, he doesn't deserve to die but he should've known better.

[@bpxl53yewz29]

The problem is that if you’re an actor in the U.S who starts taking drugs, the public feels sympathy for you and hope for recovery as you enter rehab - but if it happens to an actor in Korea, the public vilifies you with constant hate until you feel like you can’t live anymore. Not saying drugs aren’t bad, but in Korea they treat the use of it like they murdered someone when they’re really hurting themselves.

[@kwiyopta2024]

I've been living in Korea for 5 years. Korea is a developed country but mental health support is so lacking. Seach Park Bom. Moreover, Korean law is still behind. For example, some anti depressant medicine are still considered illegal drugs in Korea.

[@Afreshio]

Same. I am 32yo grown ass man, venezuelan, straight. I just catched that kdrama in Netflix saw that it was high scored in metacritic and appeared in many high tier tops of kdrama series and decided to give it a go! Didn't disappoint. I was in one of the lowest point in my life. Probably the worst moment ever, I think. Just recently my partner of 9 years and I broke up, I was alone, living in a shitty single bedroom, broke as fuck, no friends, no relatives in a foreign country. Both of the main characters suffered from depression, isolation, breakheart, trauma. So I felt like a connection with them. And his character, the Mister, was betrayed. Although mine wasn't the same, it felt somewhat relatable. His role in Parasite was incredible too. He had some many roles to give to us, so much life, and so many hugs, kisses, words of advice and love to give to his beloved children and paramour. And all for greed and envy. Society is fucked.

And people are too precious to give up on!! There are few who can't be rehabilitated. The media who badgered him & inflated the accusations. You don't care how much you hurt others.

[@BM-ur4je]

I just want to say as a Canadian observing all of this for the last several weeks in the press right up till today when he committed suicide he was in the forefront of the press. It's shocking how the Korean press and Korean netizens hound their celebrities to the point of suicide. There is no question that Korea now stands way above other countries in rates of these social problems. We used to say it was Japan but Korea has outpaced every other country in the civilized world when it comes to these kinds of problems. It wasn't until I became interested in BTS and listened to their lyrics and researched the background of the history of the times they were written during as well as read other Korean philosophers' works that I became aware of the magnitude of the problem. While it's true that some did have depression (ex.Moonbin) many others didn't and I believe this actor did not have such a history. The outrageous treatment of what in many civilized countries is considered minor or negligible infraction (esp given the exhaustive negative drug tests) is truly a manifestation of persisting deep problems in a society still governed by corrupt chaebols and governments resulting in tragedies such as the Itaewon and the MV Sewol ferry disasters. None of the people responsible for these was treated as harshly as for ex this actor. The way SKorea loves having its celebrities as part of the show of having reached the "sophistication" and level of importance of the "west" is the most blatantly superficial choice a society could possibly strive for. They are put on pedestals, idolized only to be torn down brutally at the slightest misperception of not confirming to the fickle public's ideal of the moment.

SK, please stop putting people up on pedestals they didn’t ask to be put on in the first place, then when they show you they’re human too you make them feel like they’re worthless. Regardless of what he did or did not do, he was a beautiful human being that had the right to make mistakes, learn from them and better himself, and people took that away from him just because he was in the public eye. SK, you lost an incredible talent who was obviously proud of sharing his culture through his art. And to his family who lost a loved one, a husband, a father, a friend… I pray for peace during this difficult time. Please, stop beating up people when they’re at their lowest instead stand by them and reach a helping hand.

This is utterly heartbreaking. He was such a wonderfully talented actor. He was also a well renowned family man with a stellar reputation. I can only imagine the amount of pain he was in to make such a decision, as well as not wanting to bring shame on his family. People online have been like vultures picking at him with their negative comments without knowing the truth which probably wore him down on top of the weight of the allegations and financial burden on his family. His wife is an actress and he was probably worried about this affecting her career, as well as his two boys possibly being treated badly in school due to the publicity. He may have done something wrong, or as he said he was set up by bad people who probably saw they could financially gain by taking advantage of a well known actor. We will never know. Obviously he was in great pain and the billions of won he was fined was overwhelming, and didn't see a way out of it. I wonder how the negative commenters would have felt if they were in the same situation. The same people who dragged him online with negative comments that surely had an affect on his mental health are the same ones shaming him now about being selfish for wanting to end it all. They can't have it both ways. What culpability do they have in his decision to end it? We all make mistakes, and obviously he did, but shaming NEVER makes a situation better.

Drugs were not the only problem for him. Some people were hurt by his infidelity. He was the husband and father of a family, and also caused unforgettable sadness to the family members left behind by the sad choice of suicide. I'm sorry, but I don't sympathize with him. As I said, Korean society is strict about the moral issues of these celebrities and other public figures. I don't know if there is anything wrong with this. In Korea, for example, even a talented athlete, if he or she is found to have bullied children at school in the past, will be severely criticized socially and cannot be selected for the national team. In severe cases, he or she may have to retire from professional life. Unlike Korea, on the other hand, in many countries, including the U.S., people value talent more than moral issues. I don't know what is right.

All it takes is just some random sick person to accuse them of bullying or drug use or whatever. It doesn't matter if they're innocent or not. KNetizens, the media and authorities will already judge and condemn them even without substantial evidence. Even if they're not yet proven guilty.

My Mister 😢😢😢 u were My Hero !! I loved this show! I lived on it! I wa going through a sad time and that show kept my mind off it! And other works too. Such a handsome and talented actor he was! This is crazy! I suffer from depression too and to see he commuted su!c!de hurts. Like we hold on through people like him and then we learn he had it worse than us and couldn't hold on anymore. So sad I won't see more of him in other films/shows! I can't believe it!

[@WhippedForJeonJungkook]

It was the financial burden, he had lost everything and he felt there was no other way out than to take his own life, its very sad

[@OT7_FOREVER___]

Heartbreaking and so senseless. It hurts he feels that was his only way to escape🥺 Backed in a corner

[@OldDays-vt5nx]

Money can't buy happiness but money can save a person's life

[@francesmitchell5237]

I didn't understand that part. Why did he have a financial burden? What does that have to do with the investigation? If the companies chose to cancel those projects, why did he have to pay?

[@allier1867]

@@francesmitchell5237 maybe for the contracts he signed. sometimes there's a moral clause (not sure if this is the correct legal term) when signing big contracts like that. so if you break one element of the contract the liability falls on the talent or celebrity.

[@francesmitchell5237]

@@allier1867 I didn't think of a moral clause. You might have hit the nail on the head.

[@saboriana]

This is heart breaking. He's one my favorite actor's. Rest In peace.

[@Mangolite]

In a culture deeply rooted in preserving one's dignity (saving face), his only resolution was to sacrifice his own to safeguard those in his proximity because it was deemed preferable this way. It's a poignant reflection, underscoring the need for Asian culture to evolve beyond superficial appearances. As an Asian myself, this remains a prevalent issue, irrespective of geographical location, as the community dictates your moral high ground.

[@tanvivian]

I find it ironic that all these news outlet post PSA about depression, getting help. He didn't end his life due to chronic depression, it was due to intense media and public harassment and he just lost all hope. Where was the help for him? Stop the so called PSA when you all can't differentiate this.

[@WhippedForJeonJungkook]

They are there for him now in death but what about in life? When he needed them the most

[@alisachen51]

Just break my heart.. Deepest condolences to his family. He was a good actor so sad he ended his life. Gosh I wish Korean industry isn’t so harsh when it comes to this type of scandal. I presume it’s the financial burden he had to endured to pay the millions in penalty fees. 😢

[@pennyc8252]

It not that much he had been earning lots . I think it the pressure which he is facing from media n police.

[@ssy333kk5]

Life is so cruel. Why we face more and more cruel, unhappiness depressing things as we grow old. How could I watch again "My Mister" after this. Same as "Reply 1988", I couldn't watch it after the news of their broke up. Those two dramas are top of my all time favorites. People life in South Korea so stressful? So sad. R.I.P. Lee Sun-Kyun, you will greatly missed.

[@ortizpili]

Por que esa sociedad no ayudan a las personas en vez de darle la espalda, son seres humanos que cometen errores y deben ayudarlos a levantarse, no empujarlos a una decisión tan trágica como única salida. Que triste final para una persona que no tuvo chance de salí adelante 😢

[@mydoggylives]

Breaks my heart that he felt that was the only way out for him. 😥 I pray his family and friends find peace following their mourning and rejoice in looking back at the good times they shared with him.

[@chiotanmaria4246]

I still can't believe it! Rest in peace, Lee Sun-kyun.😥🙏

[@shazman9]

I recently re-watched My Mister for the umpteenth time not aware that Lee Sun-Kyun has passed. I'm devasted by this news. This drama means so much to me on a personal level since I can relate to the character Park Dong-Hoon he played so perfectly. The best slice of life drama I've seen come out of Korea. It's really hard to believe. I hope he has found his peace in death which he couldn't find in life.

[@18aagii]

So sad and yet shocking as well. Korean society and social, media bullying is scary. Honestly I don’t know his other roles and movies except Parasite. But it’s such tragic ending for someone almost as same age as me. Also like him i have 2 sons and marital problems that is leading to divorce at the moment. So it kinda hit hard. I had a moment ending my own life, but I couldn’t. I can’t imagine what a horrible thoughts were going through his head while he was burning that charcoal thing. May your soul R I P man.

[@melapredan6208]

So YOU ARE CYBERBULLING the Korean society! Dont you realize that you do the same by blaming a nation?

[@simransagar2014]

​@@melapredan6208 no one is bullying just telling the facts. And yeah it's not good to blame whole nation for it because there are good people too. But don't you think one's personal life is their matter. Who are people to judge. Don't we all make mistakes. A celebrity is a human being first. aren't they liable to make poor life choices like we all make sometimes. Why backlash so much that it drives person to make such extreme decision. Can he be bring back no. I know celebrity is like idols but no human being is perfect understand that. And every single person who backlash him (as if they never did any mistake in their life) needs to do self reflection. Are they themselves pure , never committed any sin to raise finger on someone's else personal life. Talking about drug use he test negative twice. And he was blackmailed too. But netizens used this to backfire on him . Without even trying to understand what could be the case . No hate to any country, person etc. Someone said first step to solve a problem is to accept that there's a problem. Thank you

Probably a big snowball effect. None of his acquaintances can be associated with him due to risk of losing / getting penalties in their own contracts. So, probably felt pretty isolated.
