Jang Jin-young takes a turn for the worse passes away
by javabeans
UPDATE: Jang Jin-young has passed away on September 1, at the age of 35.
This is very sad. Actress Jang Jin-young (Singles, Lobbyist) had announced last September that she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. She stopped all acting activities to focus on treatment, and a few months later seemed to be much improved.
However, now the news is coming out that her health has taken a swift but drastic downturn, and she is reportedly in critical condition. She had recently returned to Korea after receiving medical care in Los Angeles last month. According to a management rep, Jang Jin-young is currently admitted to a Kangnam hospital, and with the recent deterioration, they have stopped medical treatment for the cancer and are now focused on keeping her out of pain. Her family has been told to “prepare themselves” mentally, while a source at the hospital says they are preparing for the worst and keeping CPR equipment and defibrillators at the ready.
Jang Jin-young wishes to be remembered looking healthy, and visitation is restricted to only family members and her boyfriend. She had announced the relationship with a Mr. Kim in July, saying, “When I was exhausted and in pain and wanted to collapse, I found the biggest support close to me and was able to stand again because of him, who gave me courage.”

Oh I'm so sad. Big "C" can be the master of worldy life at times. She's just blessed to have a wonderful boyfriend who stand beside her when she need it most.
But that is life. Old or young, big "C" will come. What is important is JJY lives a morally upright life, not hurting people and not fooling people. Life is too short to waste it with bad deeds.
May she have the strenght to counter the pain.

Very sad and shocking news... I read that she had taken a turn for the worse not 30 minutes ago and now to read that she has passed away... It is always tragic when someone loses their life to cancer but even more so when it's at the age of 35. She was at least blessed enough to be surrounded by the people she loved and who loved her the most during her final moments.
RIP JJY.

Oh, this is so sad. I've never watched any of her dramas, but I remember seeing parts of Lobbyist and her face all over the posters, so it's a bit of a shock to find that she's passed away so suddenly. RIP.

Very shocking sad news. She's so alive and strong in her character portrayals, it's hard to believe she's really gone.
RIP. At least she's now released from the pain and suffering.

This is so sad. What makes it even sadder is that her character in the movie 'Scent of Love' also suffered from stomach cancer. What a horrible coincidence. May she rest in peace.

I'm so sorry that she had to die.
At least she died trying to live to her fullest, despite the pain, than to suicide like the rest of celebrities.'

Cancer is hideous. It's especially sad when it takes someone so young, just in the prime of life. I pray that her family can be at peace knowing that she fought a courageous battle and is no longer suffering.
