Last week, my colleagues and I were discussing some of their friends and relatives who were suffering from cancer but who were determined to hang on to life by trying to find all sorts of treatments and cures for their ailment. And then I read the news report that a young Korean actress by the name of Jang Ya Yeon (27 years old) who was acting in the hit drama series, "Boys over flowers" ended her own life. From the picture, the late Jang was extremely beautiful. What more she had a part in a succesful TV series. Apparently, she was not suffering from any terminal disease. Then why did she take her own life?
Read the two news articles below that I sourced from Asian Entertainment news to learn more:
Jang Ja Yeon committed suicide at home today. At 7.34 pm her older sister called the police. She hung herself. Her will and notes will be checked. She is normally a bright girl and hence her entertainment company is also very shocked.She is most well known for the role of Sunny, one of the mean girls, in Boys over flowers.She died at 4.30pm.

Boys Before Flowers Stunned by Suicide
It was another setback and a major one for Boys Before Flowers as one of the actresses, Jang Ja Yun (27) who plays Sunny in the drama was found to have committed suicide in her Bundang home today.
According to the local police from Bundang who confirmed the suicide over the phone, " Jang Ja Yun was found to have committed suicide in her own home today. She was discovered at around 7.34pm this evening by her sister who then called the police. We are now investigating the case and will give further updates like the reason, her will (if any), etc at a later time." The police also revealed that her approximate time of death was around 4.30pm and that she had hung herself.
Friends who knew Jang Ja Yun was shocked by her suicide and expressed, "She had a passion for acting and loved it very much. She was very much a extrovert and we never really expected that she would commit suicide."
Jang Ja Yun graduated from Chosun University and had made her debut through a Lotte Biscuit CF and was only starting out with her acting career. She still won a bit of popularity for her small role in Boys Before Flowers despite her late debut. But it's being reported that a dispute with her present management agency and a lack of time in Boys Before Flowers had left her feeling depressed and eventually causing her to choose the wrong path.She only recently walked the red carpet at the recent 45th Baeksang Awards with the other 2 members of the JinSunMi trio, showing her excellent figure. She was also going to debut on the big screen with 2 upcoming movies and the future looked bright but her sudden suicide has left people feeling pity for her. Jang Ja Yun joins a lengthening list of Korean celebrities who have committed suicide in recent years. It's just a very sad situation overall.

MY COMMENT:
Oh dear! If it is really because of problems with her agency and also lack of time, it is a rather weak reason for ending ones own life. Just imagine that all over the world there are people who are really sick but who would want to go on living and here is one young girl who is beautiful, healthy and has a successful career ahead of her who ends it all for some problems that could be solved through negotiations and time management. So sad!
