That male nurse
October was full of tragedies in the Korean entertainment industry. Following the suicides of Choi Jin-jin on October 2 and Jang Chae-won on October 3, the news of model and actor Kim Ji-hoo's suicide was revealed on the 7th. Kim Ji Hoo, who started her career as a model, has appeared in TV series such as SBS "Land", MBC "Plastic Surgery", and "Unstoppable High Kick". When he participated in TVN's TV show "Comingout", he disclosed his homosexuality to the outside world for the first time. According to South Korean media speculation, Kim Ji Hoo's suicide was related to the malicious attacks he suffered on the Internet due to his open homosexuality.
While Choi Jin-sil's suicide still cast a shadow over the Korean entertainment industry, Kim Ji-hoo was found dead at home on the morning of October 7. According to reports, the police speculated that Kim Ji-hoo committed suicide on the evening of the 6th. On the afternoon of the 6th, Kim Ji Hoo published the last article on his CY-WORLD blog. The article only posted a photo of Kim Ji Hoo seemingly flying into the sky. It is speculated that this photo hinted at Kim Ji Hoo's decision to commit suicide. Since April 2008, when Kim Ji Hoo publicly admitted his homosexuality while participating in the TV show "Coming Out", he has been plagued by malicious comments on the Internet.
The continuous suicide incidents have plunged the Korean people into a mental panic, and the situation where artists are harassed by negative comments on the Internet has also attracted attention from all walks of life. The South Korean government and the ruling party are actively working to revise the law that severely punishes false messages online, known as the "Choi Jin Law."
The intention is to legislate real-name access to the Internet to prevent similar tragedies from happening
