Comedian Shin Gi-ru expressed anger over fake news that claimed she had died.
On the 18th, Shin Gi-ru said, “Facebook trolling... dying within 10 years... I could let that slide because people can't know everything, but this is just too much. I have normal blood pressure, and I just had lamb skewers today, but the tomato and egg stir-fry was so delicious that it shocked me,” while revealing a photo.
Shin Gi-ru continued, “Those who play these pranks with their fingers and try to survive by squeezing out the last bit of their strength while enduring deserve to be punished by heaven.”
The released photo included fake news stating, “Everyone said to lose weight, but Shin Gi-ru’s shocking death at home from high blood pressure shocked the world, and everyone cried.” It featured a picture of Shin Gi-ru along with a photo of a chrysanthemum saying, “May the deceased rest in peace.” Currently, Shin Gi-ru's social media is set to private.
Shin Gi-ru, who debuted in 2005 on KBS’ ‘Comedy Club,’ is celebrating her 20th anniversary this year.
