Singer and actress Hanna (real name Ryu Suk-jin) reached the 12th anniversary of her passing. At the time of her death, the news was not made public until nine months later, which drew regret.
Hanna died tragically on Jan. 13, 2014, at her home in Bundang, Gyeonggi. She was 32.
Before she died, Hanna was reported to have suffered from panic disorder and endured difficult mental and psychological times. In particular, this news was not revealed until nine months later. Music industry officials said, "Even close acquaintances and fellow singers did not know this well," saying the shock was even greater.
The late artist was from JYP Entertainment and officially debuted in the music industry in 2004 with the debut song "Bounce." Previously, she gained recognition by appearing in singer Kang Sung-hoon's second album music video "Reminiscence" in 2002 and participated in a featuring on singer Rain's second album track "I Still Like You" in 2003.
She released albums such as "Necklace" and "Luxury" and worked as a singer until 2008, then later switched to acting and worked under the stage name Han Ji-seo. She appeared in the 2011 film "Money Bag" and the 2012 short film "Black Crayon."
What especially made Hanna widely known was a mobile phone commercial. In that commercial, Hanna made an impression on the public with the scene in which the male co-star handed her an earphone and said, "Shall we listen together?"
The bereaved family reportedly held Hanna's funeral quietly as a family funeral. The late artist rests at the Yeongsaeng Management Office, Cremation Hall No. 2, in Seongnam, Gyeonggi.
