i'll never forget him as that guy in winter sonata crying his heart out and then starting to go crazy when he didn't get the girl. always running after something he couldn't have.
i uh. this is such a shock.
i grew up with this guy on the small screen, you know. i was eight when it first aired, and it was one of the first dramas i ever watched with my mum and sister glued on the screen.

rest in peace. i don't know what kind of hardships he went through but ... rest in peace. peace for his family and friends too. (and those damn media frenzied netizens argh).

Wow... what a loss of human life. He was so great in Winter Sonata and kept getting better! Such a waste of life... such a waste of talent. S. Korea really needs to get a grip on how much pressure they are putting on their people. Suicide is not the answer. I wonder if they really thought about it - if they would do it? The pain, the agony of losing someone like this is over bearing and never leaves those they left behind.

That's horrible! I'm not really familiar with his work since I never saw a drama he was in, but regardless I feel for anyone who has passed under those circumstances. I hope his friends and family can pull through this, especially his mother and his father since it seems they were already dealing with a lot as it was.

And although it may seem insensitive, I wouldn't jump down the producers throats for becoming stressed out now that they don't have a lead. A lot goes into producing a drama. They need investors, schedules are made, etc. When something big like this happens it causes a lot of strain on people, and probably will affect most the people who need this to happen. Maybe someone finally got a job because of this drama and can earn some income or maybe someone finally got their chance to move forward in their career because of this after struggling for so long. Obviously this is a tragic event, and people should be respectful, but keep in mind that other people have their own lives and responsibilities to speak for.

Prayers 4 him and his family and friends.....o...m....G..
May he rest in peace...

This is the first thing posted when I heard yet another person committed suicide (depression!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not trying to be mean but people need to stop only focus respecting the person with depression and focus on why soooooooooo many people get it! Understand the reason behind that act does not make it RIGHT! If this really was suicide because this SHI** don't make no sense!

Oh NO....
I was so looking forward to his new drama.
R.I.P Park Yong-ha.

this is so horrible and so unexpected. i literally gasped when i loaded jb's site on my computer. he was so great in story of a man. may he rest in peace.

My jaw literally dropped when I saw your headline, JB!!! I had to read the article 3 times for the news to sink in!!! Park Yong Ha is a Hallyu star & at the top of his career these days...it's so utterly unthinkable, that he could take his own life..with a cellphone cord, at that!!!

@Taber

WOW YOU POST REALLY GOT ME THINKING

OMG...... what i'm hearing..... i'm in shock... RIP

Why do I feel so utter empty for a person I like because he had a deep dimples on the right, his lips look so soft I always thought it must feel like a cloud. Why do the tears continue to fall when I think this time when I dream about him I know it really is a dream. Why do the sound of my tear hitting my hands bring me comfort and my cried of angst is bring me peace. Why do I feel so sad for a person I never meet or even know? Why? because as a human you connect through your soul and the gateway is through your eyes.....RIP Park Ya-Ha

This is really shocking.I am currently watching A Man's Story and I'm really impressed wth his acting. I didn't think that he's the total opposite of his character in that series.I hope he's in peace.

I'm still in shock. I have a test in 2 days and I can't seem to concentrate. So Ji Sub is my favorite actor and I was watching old clips of him and Park Yong Ha today because they are best friends....IT was before I even found out that he died. It's such a shock . sorry to his parents and to his fans and friends. He was a great actor and singer. He will be greatly missed.

i'm crying and my mind is at a standstill. i hope you can rest now in heaven. you were a wonderful and talented man and you didn't deserve to leave this way. i hope your soul and your family find a sense of peace and hope. REST IN PEAC.E

OMG! i was utterly shocked..i cant believe it..
RIP Park Yong Ha..

OMG... i can't believe this... on allkpop, some pple are calling him selfish, coward, stupid and some are LOLing... WTH... ok, so i do think that suicide makes is hard for everybody, not just yourself but do they really need to bash him????

so this is why so many american artists do drugs.

O.M.F.G!!! i just can't believe this!!! truly horrible...
just yesterday i have my heart broken, now this??!! my heart is in pieces right now...
RIP Park Yong Ha, all my prayers goes to his family and friends, especially his parent...

if you say that its rumors and what nots that make the celebs commit suicide then its really stupid coz rumors and internet bullying are everywhere. if they can't take it in their stride then its really too bad. i mean, look at hollywood or the entertainment industry everywhere. don't they have rumors? but you don't see them committing suicide like they do in korea?

there's obviously something very wrong with the korean people. i feel that they're too prideful. when i was holidaying in korea last year, the tour guide told us that the koreans are very prideful and arrogant, which is why when they knock onto you on the streets, they don't say sorry. they're also too mindful of their appearances hence they'd rather spend most of their salaries on clothes, makeup, accessories etc and not on food. not surprising, if you look around you in korea, most of them are really well dressed. boots, trenchcoats etc.

maybe this mean something? i don't know.

also, yes Depression is very very scarey. I went through really deep dark depression in my 20s and I'm only 31. It's something that happens to people when you least expect it. It creeps up on you when you think you have a hold on life. It's not the blues, it's something so dark , like you are sinking in a deep dark hole and you can't seem to reach the surface nomatter how hard you try. I got help and I cope with it but sometimes I'm still afraid it might creep up again. It's not fun but getting help is the best way to go, talking to someone helps, especially to someone that's been through it. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, you just gotta hold on. I wish PYH would have held on a little bit longer.
My condelences to his family, his fans, friends, and everybody else that loved him. RIP

If anyone feels that they are suffering from this disease, if you want to talk, you can always come to me. I'm all ears.......

RIP I hadn't seen him in any dramas, but still, I felt sad that he had to do such a thing. Instead of talking or promising about making a world better for K-celebrities, why don't they do something about it? Just my two cents. I hope his family will pull through and that he will rest in peace.

I am shocked! He was such a great actor. I hope that he is now in peace.

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I AM IN TOTAL SHOCK. OMG.

This is so so so so so shocking! I can't even begin to comprehend this...

I haven't seen this guy act (yes, I haven't watch SOAM) but this is such shocking news, even I'm stunned...Oh dear God....

RIP PYH...so well beloved.

OMG WHAt??? THIS IS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED......i am speechless

I'm so sad. I was looking forward to seeing him in his new series. My heart goes out to his parents.

I read a research paper once about how depression is a really big problem amongst Asians because often times it's not seen as a curable condition but as a shameful disease. Many Asians don't seek treatment and also don't believe in using Western medications. They would rather try to get better via exercising and dieting to correct what they believe are imbalances of the yin and yang in their bodies. Whenever a celeb commits suicide over depression I often wonder if they have been taking medications or have they tried any sort of medical treatment to manage their depression. I hope they didn't just let it run it's course...

it is sad that he took his own life. but i think the most are the people he talked to just before committing suicide, his family, Park Si Yeon, Jae joong etc.

They must felt so guilty for not being there for him when he was under depression. If i were in their shoes, i would be depressed myself.

Condolences to his family and friends. RIP.

OMG!!! I had been out of the kdrama loop for a couple of weeks and was just checking Coffee House thread when I saw the off topic post about PYH dying so I came here immediately... that is so sad and totally unexpected. I don't know what to make of this news .

I saw this on soompi and I went "WHAT?!" cuz could've swear, he was confirming to be in the series with YEH, like how can that be...??....but boy, R.I.P Park Yong-Ha...I feel so bad and sorry for him....and what his family has to go through too....

Looks like PSH depression is really serious. He should have seen a Dr abt it.

Really shocking to have him ending his life like that.

For a minute i thought this was all a nightmare! It's just too shocking and unbelievable! now we are left with the question, WHY?!
condolence to the family and RIP where ever you are...
