• All my sympathy to her family and fans..So very sad.

• Thank you for sharing this, God rest her soul in peace obviously she wanted to be heard.

  I can't imagine how damaged her psyche must be to leave her children. That's the part that most got to me. She must have been suffering very much.

  As for her husband, regardless of his financial situation, he should have been more of a human being. They had two children and sometimes it is not good to be selfish. There are two sides to every story in a relationship but here one side was distraught enough to take her own life leaving her two children! It is just too sad.

  Also not every actress gets married to rich guys because of financial security. They move in a certain set and meet only people with high financial means and people who serve them (personal trainers, chefs etc.). Maybe there are people who marry for that whether they are in entertainment or not, but who am I to judge? Consenting adults doing their thing is not going to bother me.

• This is so sad.. May she rest in peace. Hope her children get love and support.

• Sad for her and her children. They are so young and no mother to guide them. The mistress and her husband are awful people.

• I am not familiar with who she is but all i can say is that "you fought hard, and now may you finally find the rest and peace you needed..."

  Dramas of celebs or women/men from lesser background marrying into chaebol family, always have their cinderella happily ever after ending with the grand wedding. They never do tell the aftermath story. And the reality always shows that, there more grief that what was bargained for or can be handle in these choices.

  This is one of the most tragic end, another is with Go HyunJung who until now is not allowed to see her kids...

• This is unfair for the children. As a mother myself. What could be the worst then without a mother for a children?

  • I wouldn’t judge her harshly. She may suffer from extreme depression that affected her rational logic and thinking. In her desperate situation, I am sure she felt her leaving is the best option due to the cancer (my own dad had it I don’t wish any children to go that terrible ordeal either) and then all the issues with her husband (neglect, cheating and we don’t know if anything else). RIP to her and I pray that the children will have an adult who looks out for their best interest and care.

    • I just hope whichever adult raises them doesn't sully their image and thoughts of their own mother. Because I can see someone training them to hate and blame their mother already...

  • Depression doesn't choose who it will attack and you can't turn it on/off by a switch.

    Please if you've never gone through it or know anyone who has, educate yourself.

  • Don’t start this ignorance and callousness, obviously she was not in her right mind!

• So tragic, particularly for her, her family and above all her children. Not being aware if her cancer caused her body to be disfigured, had spread, or was more a punch in the gut. But a cheating husband certainly did not offer her the support she obviously needed so badly. For those of us who are healthy it is easy to feel she could have used some of her money to escape and say good riddance to bad rubbish to her husband/mistress. She obviously was unable to make that move. May she rest in peace. May her children grow up to be healthy and well adjusted. Her husband....let him drift....

  • She cannot. In her note, she has stopped working and has no financial means to move away. Her in-laws asked her to stop working after her first child. She tried to divorce during her second child but I remembered she mentioned her husband threatened her that he will have the custody of both her children if she did (no financial support on her end). Her trash husband even used some of her money to buy things for his mistress and that mistress even blogged about those gifts on mistress weibo! (but after this news was published, the mistress has deleted all her posts).

    • Thank you. My culture is so very different; she most probably (because of his affair) would have been able to retain custody of the children and much needed emotional support would have come from her family; both immediate and extended. The husband knew she was totally blocked. What a trash bucket he is/was.

• Wow, my goodness this is utterly devastating. I can’t imagine the suffering she was going through mentally and physically and may she RIP. My heart goes out to her children and loved ones. I really hope she is at peace.

• While I appreciate your highlighting Miki's plight and unfortunate passing, I wish you will move on and choose another news event as your main page. I am a fan of your blog and find it depressing to see this page every time I click on your site. Pls change it to a more uplifting event. We get the message that women including celebrities can be abused and suffer misfortunes. I'm more interested in how we can support women in entertainment as it's an industry where women can be easily exploited because they want to succeed and move up the ladder. How can we take this forward?

• OMGoodness. RIP, dear lady. So sad that this was so much for you that you left your kids behind. To 'husband', all I will say, Karma is real and a B!! You will get yours! I hope her parents are a big part in these kids lives and can keep them ok after this. Lady, you and your kids are in my prayers.
