Korean actress Yoo Joo-eun passed away on Aug. 29 in an apparent suicide. She was 27.
Her brother uploaded a post on her Instagram to announce her death.
"I am posting this as the last request from Joo-eun," her brother wrote and uploaded the actress’ last letter.
Born on May 3, 1995, Yoo Joo-eun debuted in the 2018 drama “Big Forest” and also appeared on “Joseon Survival” in 2019.
“I am sorry I left first. In particular, I am most sorry for my mom, dad, grandma, and brother. My heart screams that my heart doesn't want to live. Your daily life without me may be empty, but live strongly nonetheless. I'll be watching over you. Please do not cry,” Yoo Joo-eun wrote.
She added, “I'm not sad at all now. Maybe it's because I've been thinking about it for a long time. I've lived a very, very happy life. So that's enough for me. So don't blame anyone and move on.”
“I'm not dead. So live well everyone. I really wanted to act. Maybe it was my everything or part of me. But it wasn't easy to live that life. I don't want to do anything else. It was so hopeless. It's a blessing to have something you want to do, but it's a curse that you want to do only that," Yoo Joo-eun wrote.
She said, “God loves me so he won't send me to hell. He will understand my heart and take care of me from now on. So don't worry everyone.”
“And to my beloved family, friends and loves. Thank you so much for caring and loving me. That was my strength and my smile. I think I had a successful life because I lived to the end with memories that I will never forget. Thank you so much for embracing and understanding me who is lacking and impatient. I'm sorry I didn't express it well. Hope you'll understand me,” she wrote.
The actress said, “Mom and dad, I love you. Don't cry. I'm begging you.”
Her funeral will be held on Aug. 31.
