I’m going to assume the controversy his wife sparked with comments about the anti-US beef protests had nothing to do with the apparent financial troubles that led to actor Ahn Jae-hwan’s suicide.

I’m just glad it wasn’t Ahn Jung Hwan, the footballer, like I thought at first. I feel sorry for him if he didn’t rack up that debt on the usual vices.
According the wife, they had not ‘officially’ registered their marriage at the Gu office.
Guess she is off the hook concerning his financial problems.
By killing himself (which was bound to be big news) he MIGHT have saved his wife from further run-ins with the loansharks and shamed the nutizens into allowing her to resume her career.
It is a perverse logic, but there is a logic to it.
Meanwhile, the press is releasing photos of the scene where the suicide took place. The photos were shockingly vivid, including ’stains,’ which they explain as “stains created by the coal burnt inside the car.” And they thought I would believe that.
I could have spared myself the guilt of unrightfully witnessing the scene. I wonder if I had ‘the right to know’ this.
This one hit close to home.. My wife, a former TV writer, used to work with his wife. She’s really depressed about this. The destructiveness of mindless protesters strikes again. Can you imagine how many people’s lives they’ve touched in a negative way?
5/redneck – uh, the suicide was debt-related, so unless he was personally funding the protests with borrowed money…
debt-related due to the boycotts from the protesters
Yeah , my understanding is that business for his wife fell through the floor after she spoke out against the protesters. I’m sure there were other reasons contributing to the fact of his business debts, which were apparently around $3 million US.
Wow.
“It is a perverse logic, but there is a logic to it.”
Is there any other kind of logic here?
Korea — the highest suicide rate in the OECD…
But what about DOKDO?
