if Park Shi Yeon is in reported in shock of the news and is currently " in a very bad condition", i could not even fathom to feel how his parents and family must be going through right now.

I hope you are at peace now and hot hurting anymore, and may those who love you overcome this tragedy in due time, become stronger and love each other more.

For everyone,

Each of us has our own struggles in life, we have our own demons to face and we have our own problems. Each may be different in complexity, gravity and circumstances, but I believe suicide should not be an option for anybody as an answer to their problem. It is not an answer but a momentarily escape to oblivion, before we face our judgement of how we lived our lives here on earth. I respect everybody's faith does not really resemble my own or reciprocate these thoughts that I have. At least let me share this to you all.

wth...im speechless

I am in utter shock. WHAT?

me too !

My heart is crying......

"Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good. "

My deepest and sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Peace, Park Yong-ha.

=( ... I'm speechless .. this is so sad. So young... So talented. There still so many things that he could have done in his live. Depression is a very mysterious disease, it can happen to anyone --even successful one like him--

But everyone has their own problem. I wouldn't judge, other people wouldn't understand what he's been through.

My friend suffered from depression few years ago. As a strange twist of event, she is studying psychology, she noticed it herself that there's something very wrong happening and she need professional help.

=( hopefully there's more awareness about depression in the future. It is hard to identify, let alone to other people, the sufferer themselves might not know what is happening too

Rest in peace. My deepest condolences to the friends and family.

"if Park Shi Yeon is in reported in shock of the news and is currently ” in a very bad condition”

Park Shi Yeon would qualify as a "survivor of suicide." Because she had spoken to him the day before, it's possible that she's dealing with HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE feelings of guilt, shock, etc. It kills something in you. Park Yong Ha's family, moreso.

What?! I couldn't believe the head caption. I am having a hard time with this. I thought him to be so talented. I will miss him. Loved him in Story of a Man.

I pray that he has found peace and his spirit is free.

the question is why so many actors and actress choose suicide? entertainment so pressuring in korea?

i was si trilled about his next drama...it is just unbelievable! please wake me up!

can I blame the lacking of a family in klala world...and I don't mean mom and dad.... at amost 40 you kinda expect your parents to die because we are not forever... they should re-think their whole policy of unwedded stars...he is not first and not the last one to do it... these ppl are working sometimes 18 hours a day... without any support... and don't tel me that mom and dad facing their own problems could be there for you anytime

on the other hand if he realy suicided ...he was too cruel with his parents....

I don't understand anything about this. How I wish the media made a mistake so this post is not true =( And here I was all happy and excited about his upcoming drama.

Rest in Peace Park Yong-ha.

Oh my... I can't try to understand the depth of someone else's pain. I don't understand the wave of Korean stars who feel this is their only out or answer. All I can do is feel deep sadness for their families and the loss of great talent and most especially for the waste of life. So young. So sad. Story of A Man is one of the best dramas I've seen. What a tragic loss. Wow....

OH NO. D:
This is just terrible.

My heart goes out to his family.

my jaw hit the floor when I saw he was born in '77...

What!!!

I am speechless all I can think to say is Rest In Peace and may heaven look kindly upon you there is no more pain.

Part of the reason why so may suicide attack among celebrities in Korea, u can read this article.

What made South Korean celebrities suicidal?

'South Korea, the world’s most wired nation, has vibrant Internet portals and chat rooms where freedom of speech is given free reign. But it also has a dark side: rumours and cyber bullying are rife'.

This is unbelievable. What's going on with the amount of deaths surrounding celebrities these days? I hate how friends always say, oh they were depress before the suicide. Shit. If they're depressed, help them. Don't come out later and say that they notice their friend was sad and whatnot. I pray that his family will get some peace. Poor his parents, especially his dad. May he find peace as well.

i dont know what to say ,,,, why always suicide in korea entertaimant ppl idont get this this fucking crazy and shock too i feel sorry for his mom ,suicide ,i cant take this no i wonder why hollywood goes rehab korea need help dammm

RIP park yong-ha. he was a great talent--the best one in ON AIR and i loved him in 'story of a man'.

what is the place of psychotherapy/psychiatry/depression meds in korean culture? are there so many with depression who go about their lives untreated?

This is one of the times that I really wish we can turn back time.. He's gone too soon.. I really don't know what else to say.

:O

WHAT THE....!!!

I did NOT expect this... and i have to say that this is the first celebrity death that affected me this much... i was never a fan of him but i am really fond of him... i grew to like him more and more through his career and when I thought i was finally ready to really truly like him.. this happens.

OMO... i'm still in shock.. i think i need some time before i write anything coherent..
YY

OMG, i'm not a big fans of him but I did watch his drama.. I'm so eager to see his new darma with Eun-Hye.. it is really awful!!!!!!! I'm still in SHOCK!

So sad! I am in shock! I can't believe this. He was great in Story of a Man. I wanted to see more of his work. Sadly, he's gone now. Rest in Peace Park Yong-ha.

Oh my gosh. I can't believe this! Poor Park Yong-Ha.

We lost too many previous lives to depressions already. I hope he's not a victim of harassment of some sort.

Park Yong Ha, I will miss you.

Yesterday I typed I want to see him pared with YEH in Love Song.
Today I read this shock news.
He goes forever, no more drama, no more life
...

WTF IS GOING ON IM IN SHOCK

I'm in total shock and this definitely saddens me. May he rest in peace. The news is so unexpected that it moves me to tear.

My condolences for his parents and family and hope you would be comforted in time.

WHAT! NO WAY..i am in complete shock!

I OPEN MY BROWSER and the first thing i see is all this news about park yongha and omg.... so so so so so sad ;______; rest in peace<3

1st reaction: is the title right?
2nd reaction: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
3rd reaction: my whole body went numb

i can't believe it. park yong-ha is such an awesome artist and he was getting better and better with his acting.

PARK YONG-HA, may you rest in peace. and may the family you've left behind be comforted that you are now at a better place.

oh god, this is so sad. i have not seen any of his dramas but i've seen the posts here and thought he was talented and well liked. really sorry for his family, friends and fans.

RIP park yong ha

This is horrible horrible news.
RIP and prayers to his family and friends.

Sighs, something needs to be done to help Korean Entertainment.

Sad news. And so saddening.

Despair is so much to be pitied. People who are depressed have no control over their emotions. And as we know, sometimes our emotions just take over our rational thoughts, regardless of logic or external circumstances. It's true that some thing are known to make depression worse and trigger suicidal thoughts (e.g., stress; but NOT how suicide is depicted on tv!) But essentially the nature of depression is that it's not logical and it can lead to overwhelming, unbearable despair.

I don't suffer from depression myself, but I do know of depressed people who have taken their lives. And I have a close friend who is depressed, and I live in real fear of getting a phone-call one day telling me that she has been found hanging in her home. Not because she is a weak person (she is not; she is very strong). Not because she doesn't have friends (she has many, including myself, who know she is depressed and support her). Not because she is a stupid person (she is one of the smartest people I know). Not because she is wicked or callous (she is someone I can honestly describe as a thoughtful and spiritual person). Not because she has an awful life (her life isn't too bad right now; her career is doing fine and her family is doing ok). Not because she's ignorant about depression (she is very aware and has been getting professional help but it doesn't "cure" her). But because depression can push one over the edge. I have seen for myself that when she is moderately depressed she isn't herself and she can barely summon the energy to get herself out of bed to face the day. I can well see that if she gets more depressed and if life gets harder, she will keep soldiering on day by day, fighting afresh each morning to face another day, but one day she might just fail to summon the energy to fight anymore. And if she is ever so desperate and so drained that she takes the only way out that she can see, I will weep for her, not judge her or rail at her.

I don't even know what to think. I've liked him ever since I saw him in 우리는 길잃은 작은 새들을 보았다. I watched Loving You for him. I watched Winter Sonata for him. I loved his song in All-in. He was my favorite character from On Air. Story of a Man was his best work yet. He was planning to act with Yoon Eun-hye... and now this?

Poor, poor Park Yong-ha.

How tragic. :( My deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends.

I came to school and my co-teacher told me, and I was like no freaking way, this can't be the same Park Yong-ha. I went straight here, and sadly it is true. I was sad, but now I feel so angry about it. I don't even know why I am so angry but I am.

Even still, reat in peace, rest in heavenly peace, the way you didn't get to in life. I pray for your family, friends, and fans left behind to remember your life and not your death. Man, this is just sad. I really hope this doesn't start another chain reaction of suicides. It happens to often in Korea. It's raining here in Seoul today, as if all the tears from everywhere are falling down fro him. Ahhhhhhhh...this just sucks...

For those of you who have not watched a Park Yong Ha drama, check out On Air. Not because it's his best, it's not, but because he's the happiest in there. I will always remember that him.

I posted a tribute to him at wordpress, ockoala, explaining why I personally love him as an actor. Its impossible to do anything other than treasure his contributions to his profession.

They won't show a open mouth kiss on drama but they always using suicide as a option to solve they problems. What kind of message are you sending to people. It's crazy how I see in every damm drama Let's die together, I'm going to kill myself, I'm not going to eat for 3 days. It's really sad that this is acceptable when it obvious too many people take this option seriously. These country need to really focus on why they the citizens are so miserable, they could start with respect automatically giving due to age and not earn due to a person character and actions, the hash judgment of a person base on they social status, the lack of parents or being a single parent and many other stupid things that they use to determine a person self worth! A person worth should not come down to those components, it just crazy.

I have always stated that the country is oppressed in they values and views. They dropping like flies because you can be destroy and disgrace because you dating, or if you gambled, if get a person too sleep with you by whisper sweet nothing in her ear, it freakin ridiculous. The country is ran by the people who are infected with extreme amount self righteous which has cause a outbreak the side effect LIVING HELL! Sadly I don't see a change any time soon for many of these country. They would continue to hide behind the word conservative and respect, in reality they don't have any of that for each other or others. Park Yong-ha is a tragi lost but so are the many unnamed people, who decide that death is better then living.

I don't feel right about this, it just don't feel right. Why would you take your life before your father death? It's seem obvious that he had great love for his father to be effect by his illness to the point of depression, so why would he give his father this incredible pain of bury him first? This don't make any kind of sense, my blessing go out too his family and friends.

only those who's suffering from depression can understand the depth of his pain...

one cannot fathom how unbearable it is, feeling extremely lonely everyday.. waking up each morning on the other side of your bed discovering your world is still the same, without colors.
