Attic Cat Star Jung Da Bin Committed Suicide

Jung Da BinI was watching 24 Oras News last night when I learned that Jung Da Bin is dead. She committed suicide. Here’s what I found in Wikipedia.

Jung was found dead by the police on February 10, 2007, 3 weeks before her 27th birthday, having been strangled with a towel at a friend’s house in the Samseong neighborhood of Seoul. The police are leaning toward suicide, however, they are not ruling out other possibilities yet. She suffered from clinical depression before her death.

Just before her death, her long-time boyfriend had broken up with her. Some of those close to her were noted as saying that she sported scars on her wrists from past suicide attempt(s), going back to her school days. There was also a suicide scare last September. Prior to her death, she posted two messages on her Cyworld page. The first said,

“[I thought] I was going to die because of the confusion. It felt like I would go crazy because I became angry for no reason…I cried because my head hurt so much… I almost became a slave of you, who would be angry from [my] irritability. I thought I would go mad from laughing and crying. I thought I lost myself, and I began to lose a part of my identity. As if something struck me, boom… Everything became serene. The Lord came…[He] silently makes me rise. [He] says that I am now fine. I am fine. ”

The second was a prayer thanking God for saving her and forgiving her.

Attic Cat - Jung Dabin as Noreen and Kim Rae Won as KevinAccording to the latest report, her death has been ruled as a suicide, a typical death caused by hanging from the neck, the Korea’s National Institute of Scientific Investigation said Monday after conducting an autopsy.

I have always liked Jung Da Bin, but I know her more as Noreen Han, her character in Attic Cat, a Korean romantic comedy series aired in GMA 7 almost 2 years ago. She stars with Kim Rae Won as Kevin Lee.

Rest in peace Noreen! We will surely miss you!

  6. yah. i was able to watch her in attic cat and my 19 year old…definitely she was a great actress. halos maiyak nga ako ng sinabe sa akin ng husband ko last night na patay na pala si da bin (noreen sa attic cat). di ko siya kaano-ano pero i feel deep longing now that she’s gone. fan po tlaga ako niya…. and since nung una nauso sa pinas ang mga korean series, matagal na po ako adik sa kakokolek ng mga dvd series. sayang talaga. sana wala nang mga suicide pang susunod. we will always love and remember jung da bin.

    • She died last year, we were also shocked when we heard the news in 24 Oras. Sayang sya at tulad ng sinabi mo sana wala ng sumunod pa. 🙁

  7. ung mga baliw nga jan sa kanto, nakaktiis pa ee, sya pa kaya. mahna. pro syang siya. marami namng nakakramdam nung katulad ng kanya pero buhay pa din. sobrang kulang sa support. sayang kase bata pa sya, marami pang mangyayari sa life nya kahit super depressed sya nung time na un.

    i will pray for you.
