Less than a week after Choi Jin-sil took her life another Korean actor has followed suit. Kim Ji-hoo, a 23 year old model and actor who is gay, committed suicide yesterday due to mounting harassment for being gay. Kim was part of a tvN program entitled Coming Out and his lifestyle didn’t conform to some social norms in the Korean society. It is sad to see a young person taking his own life just for being himself. our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Well, the guy was weak. He killed himself because of the things people SAID. Sam, kimchijigae, Monique, the Bible does mention Homosexuality. You just have to actually READ it instead of carrying it around and saying your opinion is just. God might or might not like gays, but when it comes to suicide, its the ultimate sin and there is no forgiveness for killing yourself and its a one way trip to Hell.
Urgh, Sam S, please shut up! You haven’t spoken to God in person about his views on homos, so you don’t know how He thinks. Besides God is Love, not hatred, you spiteful being!!!!
Shut the eff up, sam s. I’m glad most Christians don’t think like you. Being gay isn’t sickening, but being a prejudiced judgmental sonofab*itch certainly is! I’m sure no one would be sad if you died. Actually, I wish YOU would commit suicide — the world doesn’t need HATEFUL, DISGUSTING people like you!!!!!!!!
He didn’t kill himself because people harrassed him because he’s gay. He did it because he knew being gay is not right. I don’t care how people justifies it, being a homo or lez is sickening. It’s wrong and they all know it. That’s why only 14% of the people in San Francisco goes to church.
