After School alumnus Rhee Ji (Park Soo-young) is shocking fans by repeatedly making remarks that suggest severe depression and suicidal intent. After AOA alumnus Kwon Mina confessed to an attempted suicide on New Year's Day, fans' concerns have focused on another shocking remark.
On the 28th Rhee Ji communicated with fans by conducting a live broadcast on her social media.
That day Rhee Ji told fans about severe depression and complained, "being a celebrity is an existence where everything gets exposed." Rhee Ji said, "My depression is so severe that I keep saying am I going to die or live, TikTok was suspended and I'm doing this here."
She also said, "I will try to live once. I will somehow try to live," and "I really want to die. It would be fine whether I live or don't live." Rhee Ji repeatedly made remarks that seemed to hint at a suicide attempt, causing concern.
Rhee Ji, who said her depression is severe, said, "People ask why someone would die in a good world, but I find it hard to live. I don't know why they talk about that," and showed tears, raising further worry.
Not only Rhee Ji but earlier AOA alumnus Kwon Mina left a post on her social media on the 1st saying, "Goodbye. And I'm sorry. You don't have to believe me and you can curse me as much as you want. I have posted cruel scenes that shocked people, posts that repeated and exhausted everyone, posts where I was criticized and posts where I did wrong things, and I wasn't in a normal state. But in all the incidents and situations I was truly wronged, and I was so wronged that I still have dreams of the same scenes every day. I'm suffering," she wrote.
Two hours after posting the long message, Kwon Mina posted a photo showing redness around her neck and wrote, "When I hanged myself I couldn't breathe and my vision blurred, and after that I have no memory. I had lost consciousness, and if I had been left a little longer I really could have kept my promise today, but suddenly I heard a noise and someone shook me. My consciousness kept going in and out so inside I was begging... begging..., and yet I was rescued again? I became the boy who cried wolf," she posted in another long message.
Through the photo and the text, Kwon Mina suggested she had attempted something extreme, which shocked people. After Kwon Mina, Rhee Ji also expressed depression and made ominous remarks that hinted at an attempted suicide, prolonging the tension.
