This is such a sad and distressing news to hear, I was hoping for a year in K-ent without any such happenings. K-actor and model Song Jae Rim has passed away today, he was only 39 years old. He was discovered deceased in his apartment after a friend he was supposed to have lunch with went to check in on him. Police do not suspect foul play and reportedly he left two letters that are being described as suicide notes. His last SNS post was 10 months ago changing his Instagram handle name to “starting along journey” and it’s being looked back on as concerning with what has happened today. My condolences to his family, friends, and fans, such a loss of a talented actor that graced many K-drama I watched.

Rest in peace Song Jaerim.
This news on top of the ongoing HYBE vs MHJ/New Jeans debate makes me think that Korean entertainment will not change. They will just mourn for a few days before resuming their toxic culture.
I unfortunately agree. Both Korean and international fans would post comments after comments advocating mental health after a celebrity took away their life, but after some months have passed, these hypocrites would go back to bashing these celebrities and sending funeral wreaths to these very much alive celebrities. People never learn and never change 🙄
My heart is breaking for his death...the pain he went thru and the hopelessness he must have felt to make this decision. May God bless his soul. RIP
So true. RIL SJR
I was shocked , really sad , i like him , time to mourn but i fear that the decision he choose might be chosen also by others in this era of dramaland crisis for some actors .At the end you are always alone ! RIP .
I agree...His journey as a actor hasn't been easy..
It is extremely sad that this happened. These silent illnesses are so hard to detect, and even when detected, hard to treat. I honestly always thought he was an incredible actor, and he will be missed.
WHAT THE- OMG. T_T I really liked everything he has been in. Truly sadden by this news! May he rest in peace and find happiness!
This is so sad. He must have been really struggling, I hope he finds peace and his family are able to cope with his loss. You know I was in the comments section under the article about the ML from Pearl girl and even about LMH and just reading vile comments about celebrities and their looks. I can’t imagine living under that pressure.
RIP. I can't imagine what his family and friends must be feeling. He has been working recently and sounds like he even made plans with a friend to have lunch, so it must have seemed like he was doing okay, and now it turns out, he wasn't doing okay.
I loved him in a lot of older dramas. It has been long time since I wanted him to get a big breakout. He was talented actor and also very good looking. May he rest in peace.
He took his own life, for whatever reason that will never be disclosed. By now the korean govt should have enough stats and data to do an indepth studies on why so many suicide amongst young employed Koreans. There could be something innocent or toxic or nefarious or foul play but indirect. No 39 yo kill themselves all ot a sudden. There must be a reason. I know depression is one but what caused the depression. They should investigate that which they won't and as usual mental health is a joke and suicide is hush hush when young people keep killing themselves.
The news is so sad and shocking.
RIP beautiful man.
