K-pop star commits suicide due to suffering from depression

A famous K-pop star ended his own life because he felt ‘broken from inside’ and was ‘engulfed’ by depression. The singing sensation left a suicide note which explained why he took his own life, sending shockwaves among fans worldwide.

Kim Jong-Hyun, rose to fame at a very early age as he became the lead singer of the popular K-pop boy band named SHINee. The 27-year-old singer was found dead in a Seoul hotel room on Monday and police confirmed the incident as a suicide.

Shortly after Kim’s news of death emerged, his close friend Nain9 released a suicide note on her Instagram account on Tuesday, saying he had asked her to release it in the event of his death.

“I am broken from inside. The depression that gnawed on me slowly has finally engulfed me entirely,” it said, adding he “couldn´t defeat it anymore”.

“I was so alone,” he went on. “The act of ending is difficult. I´ve lived until now because of that difficulty.”

“Please tell me I did a good job,” he implored, ending the note with: “You´ve worked hard. You´ve really gone through a lot. Goodbye.”

Police reported finding a coal briquette on a frying pain in the room where he was found—a common method of ending one’s own life in South Korea. He was pronounced dead shortly after being moved to a hospital.

Five-member SHINee band debuted in 2008 and went on to became very famous not only in Korea, but across the world, leading the K-pop culture. The band have released five albums that swept charts at home and abroad, with some topping the US Billboard World Albums chart.
