[edit] Death

On the morning of Saturday, February 10, 2007, Jeong Da-bin committed suicide in the apartment of her boyfriend in Seoul. She was found by her boyfriend hanging in his bathroom with a towel wrapped around her neck. While no apparent suicide note was left behind, an entry in her on-line blog shortly before her death indicated she was suffering from depression. After the drama “The Attic cat” and the movie “The guy was cool” her career went down. Desperate Jung Da Bin underwent many plastic surgeries which brought more criticism than before. She had issues with her former management company about her contract ,also her mom's uterine cancer was depressing her. She had had hard times, which, we can assume, were her reasons for committing suicide.

This is Jung Da Bin's last diary entry:

“Everything is so complicated. I get angry for no reason and I feel like I’m going crazy. It hurts so much that I feel like I’m getting sea sick. My head hurts so much that I start to tear. I was becoming a slave of my temper. I thought that I was losing myself, losing my identity… Then at that moment, as if I was getting an electric shock, I found peace. God came to me with love. He made me realize my importance and gave me courage. He lifted me up and he said it’s going to be okay. I’m okay”
