Actor Jeon Tae Soo Passes Away at 34 Years Old, Younger Brother of Top Actress Ha Ji Won
It’s with a heavy heavy heart I have to post about another sudden and much too young passing in K-ent. Actor Jeon Tae Soo has passed today on January 21, 2018, only 34 years old so this news is a shocking bomb to K-ent out of nowhere. He’s most famous for being top actress Ha Ji Won‘s younger brother, no diss in the industry when there are so many famous actresses with cute younger brothers also in the acting industry. His family will hold a private funeral and released a statement that Jeon Tae Soo had been battling severe depression for many years but his sudden passing to the illness was still a shock and the family is in deep mourning. Jeon Tae Soo didn’t have that many acting credits to his name and was probably most famous for being a supporting actor in Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and his last acting works were in 2013 with Cruel Palace – War of Flowers and The King’s Daughter Soo Baek Hyang. My deepest condolences to the Jeon family, and Ha Ji Won’s agency has announced that all her upcoming events have been cancelled. Rest in peace dear boy, and know that you were loved and will be remembered in the public eye with the works you left behind.
This has been a tough two years for the Jeon family as the family patriarch passed away two years ago in 2016, shortly after the family pictorial seen above was photographed and published. Jeon Tae Soo was the youngest child and only boy, and with his passing leaves behind his mother and three older sisters.
RIP and condolences to the family.
How does one pass away from depression unless they mean that the person committed suicide. This can be reported directly with no fuss.
Please, read NK’s first comment.
It’s the sixth comment after yours (at this moment).
I agree. There’s no shame in losing someone to suicide, but I guess Korean citizens aren’t passed that yet. Maybe they will stop stigmatizing suicide in another 50 years.
There’s nothing shameful on losing someone to suicide but news like this may have a different effect to those who are already contemplating of committing suicide and may actually do it.
Also, there is always the fear of suicide contagion. Hearing about someone else committing suicide on the media can be triggering for those vulnerable to suicidal thoughts. After Choi Jin Shil’s suicide, the number of suicides in South Korea spiked.
It could be that the family requested that he not be reported in such a manner, and the media respected that.
Oh no.. rest in peace
Very sad…condolences to the family..so much sadness and depression in the world today.RIP dear one.
This is devastating new to read when just the other day there was news of ha ji won at an event on this site. May he Rest In Peace.
My condolences to the family…
Oh no!!!Poor Ha Ji Won.It wasnt too long ago that she lost her dad.Her brother was the only son in the family too.So basically all the two closest men to her have left.My condolences.May his soul rest in peace.
Actually media (and everyone else) are highly discouraged from using the term ‘committed’ suicide as it reinforces negative stigma associated with suicide, so I am pleased to see that reports about his death have avoided the phrase.
RIP and condolences to his family.
OMG… So very sad… I have adored him in Kings Daughter Soo Baek-Hyang, and kept hoping to see him in a new drama..
Condolences to his family
Rest in Peace..
Oh my god, I can’t imagine how devastated they are…my goodness…my heart goes out to HJW and her loved ones and I pray he rests in peace, he must have been so weary.
rest in peace,rest in perfect peace.
RIP, i still remember a cover of High Cut with him and Ha ji Won, before he was involved in a case. the sadeness in his eyes tells everything. you can’t hide it even with a big smile on your face.
I can’t imagine how devasted his mother and sisters are.
Was he involved in a scandel before? Can someone explain? Which scandel?Is it also true that he is married?
The only thing I know of was that he got drunk and hit a taxi driver and police officer but that was way back in 2011. Not heard of any after that.
dont have words to say… ha ji won please stay strong.. your fans are always with you !!
Wonder why are South Koreans susceptible to committing suicide? Probably a case of more reporting of South Korean celebrities committing suicides but why? It’s disturbing. Is life in South Korea really very stressful even for normal civilians?
Hello!
My dearest madam ha ji won!
I express my deepest condolence for your other misfortune. I haven’t known that your dear actor brother has passed away! Previously, you missed your amiable dad. Now, you missed your dear actor brother! I have been so worried inwardly.
Damn to this so detestable world custom! I expect demonic disasters will be repelled from everyone, especially from you and your remainder family members (your dear mom and 2 lovely sisters), your compatriots, your fans and my remainder family members and fans,…everlasting! Curse to this so hateful world terms!
In any case, please accept my deepest condolence from far distance!
As a matter of fact, I was noticed your dear brother untimely death news accidently (through internet surf).
I hope this news be forged completely. But if it be true, I was shocked a lot inwardly. I can not transfer my sentiment to you with my words. Merely; I can express my deepest condolence for your misfortune again!
I expect that you be so strong and vivacious everlasting!
Anyway, all of us die physically once. Only our memory will be registered on others mind everlasting!
Again I damn these so unfairly and disastrous and detestable times and world custom!
I wish our world change in a resurrection kind form as soon as possible. And our world be so paradisaic and humane and just at once!
I wish I could meet you in Korea frequently. In any case, this news collapse me too.becuse your happiness and sorrow is my happiness and sorrow too! You are I and I am you!
I expect you be so iron-will and strong forever! Any way, our world mood is very bad as before. Previously, my parents were martyred too. And I have experienced different kinds of entanglements and conspiracies hitherto (since long years ago).as a matter of fact, I have been different kinds of predeterminate disasters,…against some of my family members eyewitness from my childhood to now. And demonic forces have been conspiring against me in different places from those gloomy times to now too.
Even, before one of my brothers was disappeared in war times (because of our so satanic world order) suspiciously! And so forth (in my different emails I have hinted them in a nutshell chronologically too)!
In any case, I hope different demonic disasters and diseases and sinister plots will be repelled from all of us everlasting. And a so fairly and philanthropic world order will be substituted this so hellish and detestable and disastrous and unfairly and demonic world orders that are governed by hell empires as before!
I wish I could come Korea in my longevity a lot. And I meet you and my other so lovely superstars frequently.
Again, I expect that you share me in your sorrow too!
So sorry! But we can not demolish this world so hateful order at once!
Let us be so vigilant and iron will hereafter! Let us never be surrender! Let us don’t allow this hellish world order cause to yield us! Let us transform our world orders fundamentally!
Be so strong and vivacious and well informed forever!
Although I am so far from you apparently, but I will be inside you forever!
You’re sincerely
