Famous South Korean actress Yoo Joo Eun commits suicide at 27 years old

South Korean acting sensation Yoo Joo Eun died Monday, according to her family. The 27-year old 'Big Forest' star was found dead by her younger brother.

"On August 29, Joo Eun left this world for a more comfortable place. For those who have time, say goodbye to Joo Eun on your way. Following Joo Eun's last request, I am sharing this post," wrote a family member in a social media post. 

Reports indicate the K-Drama actress left behind a suicide letter noting that she decided to take her own life.

"I'm sorry for leaving first. I'm especially sorry for mom, dad, grandma and oppa [older brother]. My heart screams that I don't want to live. Life without me may be empty, but please live bravely," Joo Eun wrote.

"I am not sad in the least right now. I feel resolute and calm. I think it's because I've thought about this for so long," she added. "I've lived such a happy life that it was more than I deserved. So, this is enough for me. This is enough. So please live without blaming yourself anymore. I am not dead, so everyone, please live well. I hope you call a lot of people to my funeral, and I want to see everyone for the first time in a long time and check on anyone who is going through a difficult time."

The actress reportedly said she no longer wanted to continue acting, a profession she once dreamed of.

"I wanted to act so badly. Maybe it was my everything, and it was a part of me. However, living that life was not easy. I didn't want to do anything else. That was so desperate. Having something you want to do is a blessing, but I realized that just wanting to do that is a curse," she added.

I lived with unforgettable memories until the end, so I think I have lived a successful life. Thank you for understanding and embracing me who was lacking and impatient. I'm sorry I can't express it well. But you will still understand how I feel, won't you?".
