I don't know why but I am still thinking of Lee Sun-kyun. I feel so sad for him still 😢
I got to know him very, very early. Through the dramas Coffee Prince (2007) and Pasta (2010). Was lovely to see his star rise over the years and was genuinely happy for him when Parasite became a big hit.
Don't know what to say. I just miss him, I guess.

Oh, I hear you! I really appreciated #LeeSunKyun in #CoffeePrince. After his murder, I watched #MyMister and felt like I really got to know him intimately as he portrayed his character SO eloquently, almost entirely through his facial expressions and posture.
I'm so distressed for his widow, #JeonHyeJin, also a gifted factor, and their young sons, exiled to the US.

@EllenInEdmonton I think "bullied to death" when I thought about what happened to him 😐

@liztai
It's horrific that the hunt for clicks has so much power over human lives!

@specialk He was such a presence 😢

@liztai Same. I'm currently watching Coffee Prince and he is a ray of light everytime he shows up. I smile just seeing him. He was the primary reason I watched the show actually - saw others, except Pasta.

@EllenInEdmonton Yea. I just wished he had chosen to just flee Korea and heal elsewhere. We would have welcomed him with opened arms, hugged him and tell him to just lie back and relax.

@liztai
That's why I say that he was murdered. His pursuers left him no reasonable alternative except death.

@jodmentum @EllenInEdmonton Yea so painful, and how he had to suffer penalties with his contracts just because his image was tarnished. Its all bs.

@EllenInEdmonton @liztai it’s so wrong how product endorsements work there. But the whole media scandal sensationalism there is… hmm… kinda American. Shoot first ask questions later.
Just heart breaking. And it was murder.
EllenInEdmonton :mstdnca:
@jodmentum @liztai
I would have loved to see him and his family to get away and heal together but that was the whole point that drove him to such a terrible choice. While he was under police investigation, he couldn't have left the country and he was committed to so many huge projects that the financial penalties were impossible to cover, as soon as his image was tarnished. Not only that but his wife's career would have been adversely affected. She would likely also face crippling penalties.

@liztai @EllenInEdmonton I would have invited his whole family to stay here. And is anything positive going to come from it or will it be yet another moment of shame that flies by like the Sewoll and Itaewon tragedies.
And he’s being posthumously dragged again. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/allegations-of-extortion-arise-involving-former-actress-lee-sun-kyun-and-hostess-bar-owner/ar-BB1jlglI

@jodmentum @EllenInEdmonton these vultures will never learn. They will continue to milk him even if has turned to ashes. At least he's not experiencing this anymore 😑
Jody
@liztai @EllenInEdmonton but his family is. Makes me so angry.

@jodmentum @EllenInEdmonton i hope they move away from Korea, away from the headlines 😓
