Tragic Passing of Actor Song Jae-rim Shocks the Entertainment Community

On November 12, devastating news emerged regarding the untimely death of 39-year-old actor Song Jae-rim. His body was discovered in his residence located in Seongdong-gu around 12:30 PM by a friend who had planned to meet him for lunch. Authorities revealed that a two-page suicide note was located at the scene, prompting widespread concern and sadness within the entertainment industry.

A Somber Tribute Begins

In a sign of mourning, Song Jae-rim’s social media account has been renamed “Beginning a Long Journey,” and all comments have been disabled. Friends and colleagues have begun to share heartfelt tributes and cherished memories, providing comfort in this moment of collective grief.

Harassment Allegations Emerge

Amidst this sorrowful backdrop, disturbing rumors regarding the circumstances surrounding Song’s death have started to circulate on various online platforms. There are claims that he had been subjected to persistent harassment by a sasaeng fan, a term used to describe overzealous and invasive fans, particularly from Japan. This individual reportedly used an X (formerly Twitter) account to post private photographs and engage in threatening behavior towards Song and his acquaintances.

The sasaeng fan actively targeted Song Jae-rim with disparaging posts from April of last year up until around the time of his death. Following the announcement of his passing, this account was promptly deleted, but not before it had contributed to a painful atmosphere of speculation and sadness online.

Public Backlash Against Sasaeng Behavior

The public reaction has been overwhelmingly negative, with many netizens expressing their outrage. Comments flooded social media, with sentiments like “Sasaeng fans are not fans, they are just criminals,” “Such invasions of privacy are intolerable,” and “I hope they face the consequences they deserve.” This digital outcry reflects a growing frustration toward invasive fan culture, emphasizing the urgent need for respect in the relationships between celebrities and their fans.
