Death of Jung Dabin
SEOUL, Feb. 10 (Yonhap) — South Korean actress Jeong Da-bin was found dead on Saturday, local police said.
They said Jeong, 27, hanged herself at her boyfriend’s house in the morning. The boyfriend, who was only identified by his last name Lee, discovered the body and reported the incident to the police.
The police suspect that she committed suicide considering there was no sign that it was a murder, and are trying to determine the exact circumstances of her death.
Jeong, who also became a South Korean pop culture star in Taiwan in 2005, acted in television dramas and movies.
If her death is confirmed to have been a suicide, it would be the latest case of a well-known South Korean actress or pop star taking her own life. A female singer Yuni committed suicide on Jan. 21, while movie actress Lee Eun-joo killed herself in February 2005, which shocked many South Koreans.

It is a shock for me to know that a beautiful korean actress like Jung Dabin will commit suicide. I like her and saw many of her videos and I also watched her on a korean sitcom, "nonstop". She is very successful actress to do it. I pity her kasi nakakapanghinayang ang isang katulad nya. Sana she may rest in peace…. *singhot*
