At 20 years old, Daul Kim, a model, was found dead in her apartment in Paris on the 19th of November, she hanged herself. There’s something sickeningly fascinating behind deaths like that, strictly speaking of suicide; just the fact that so many people seek validation through beauty and when some are deemed beautiful there seems to be almost more unhappiness.
What is more bizarre is the rate of suicides among Koreans:
“South Korea, which has the highest suicide rate among the 30 nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, has had a string of high-profile suicides in recent months.
Roh Moo-hyun, the former President, jumped to his death in May while under investigation for corruption and the ex-chairman of South Korea’s oldest conglomerate killed himself earlier this month. In 2008, Choi Jin-sil, one of the country’s top actresses, committed suicide, shortly after a fellow actor did the same. One of South Korea’s popular soap opera actresses also killed herself recently.”

“She [Daul Kim] became the ninth South Korean celebrity to commit suicide in 2009.”
