I just found out and it destroyed me i just saw him in "Sleep" and he was amazing in that aswell i just cant believe this all those people bashing him acusing him of drug abuse like why? Are they happy now?
Rip Ajussi… So heart breaking..
SHAME ON THE SOUTH KOREAN POLICE AND PUBLIC PROSECUTOR! It was irresponsible and short-sighted of them to interview the actor multiple times for drug use instead of focusing on his claim of being the target of blackmail. There is no denying that Reputation, especially in Korea, is important and critical to actors, and to fail to protect his privacy in the process of the investigation was as good as throwing him to the wolves of parasitic paparazzi, “cancel culture” and popular opinion. Lee Sun Gyun has represented Korea to the world in the best possible way through his craft and artistry as an actor, and for unfathomable reasons the Korean Police failed to protect his rights and privacy. Instead, they contributed to the stress and pain of being at the mercy of wolves and have failed on a global scale. Their failure cost a human life.
RIP legend
People all over the globe, love Koreans because of their talent and beauty. But Koreans are cruel by nature, and very mean I suppose.
Anyways prayers to the departed soul 🙏RIP dear star.🙏
Korean Government killed him because he was suspect of Weed consumption.
thats crazy asf bc i just mentioned this movie “parasite” on my instagram notes and i search up “korean movies” on youtube and i see this… wow..
이번 사건으로 우리나라가 마약범죄의 심각성을 깨닫길 바란다.
미국가봐라 길거리에 마약 중독자가 널려있다.
우리는 미국처럼 안 되기 위해 초반부터 강력하게 집행해야 됨.
마약을 했든, 의혹이든 마약에 연관되면 사회적으로 묻어버려야 함.
마약을 국가와 국민에게 큰 악영향을 미치기때문임.
그리고 이선균*~*☠️
본인 잘못이 없다면 왜 떳떳하게 살지 않고 죽음으로써 도망친거지? 어?
In South Korea, women's words are soon dealt with by legal evidence.
As a result, the principle of presumption of innocence was not applied, and Lee Sun-kyun was investigated as if he had been convicted.
The pressure and frustration drove Lee to his death.
R.I.P. – such talent ! v sad. prayers for his family.
Korea is dying because of corrupt public power – politics and cops.-
what happened to innocent till proven guilty? korean fans are harsh and this is proven on how many celebrity had been accused and canceled or worst suicide. How many more till we learn compassion. Or did we forgot that they too are humans and they strived, sacrificed and the hardwork they suffered to get where they are? Why are people so high on downing people knowing they are behind computers. It is sad. But i will stand by to what i said, i am asian but some koreans are harsh and thrive on the downfall of others and sadly not just koreans but globally. I just hope one day when justice is in the process that we should let the justice talk and tone down on bullying other people. Sure, freedom of speech but hopefully in this era, lets not forget that even if they are celebrities, they too have feelings, parents, wife, husband, sons and daughters. Let us all be kind in real life and behind computers. ❤ May you rest and peace.
If only South Korea focused less on prosecuting Marijuana use and more on the eating of Dogs, this man would still be alive. 2 million dogs eaten annually. Mostly during the hot summer months of Boknal because they think it keeps them cool.
I’m so sad 😭 😭😭😭😭😭
Their culture of cruel public shaming takes another celebrity.
South Korean’s First Lady Kim Keon Hee was involved in a tax evasion , plagiarism and stock market manipulation and used him to cover up their scandal
So sorry for him and his family. 😔😔😔

So sad😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Sorry to hear.
Hopefully the witch that was blackmailing him will be ostracized by the Korean people for the rest of her life.
Prayers for his family, friends, and family.
Such a great loss to enetertainment industry. Such a versatile actor.
They killed this man
It's so heartbreaking…he couldn't handle all these accusations and the cruelty of the Media & the entertainment industry..he needed everyone's support…Are all these people happy now????Bravo South Korea..bravo .
Ganja is free here.
Seems tragic. I haven’t seen the movie, but I watch a lot of KDramas. I have probably seen him in one of them, and when I look him up I will probably be shocked and saddened further. My ❤️ to South Korea. I am sorry especially for your loss.
OMG
Salary needs to start talking to the government about making a new law for stuff like this, because it makes so upset, and our people treated like it’s a normal thing and nobody is even doing anything about it because they treated like a stigma. I need somebody to send something to the government asking them for a new law to prevent stuff like this from happening ever again❤

mysterious …
Police got some explaining to do
Is it true that he talked with a room salon girl, and was accused of cheating?
