[NEWS] Choi jinshil's younger brother choi jinyoung dies!

{[['']]}





It has been reported that actor Choi Jinyoung passed away this afternoon (the 29th). He was the younger brother of actress Choi Jinshil who committed suicide in late 2008. This news has just come out so the cause of death is yet to be released, although it is speculated to be suicide. His body is currently being held in a funeral parlor in Gangnam.

Much-beloved actress Choi Jin-shil’s death rocked the industry when she committed suicide after battling depression in October 2008. Her mental anguish was aggravated by the constant malicious harassment of a netizen who accused Choi of contributing to the suicide of her friend, fellow actor Ahn Jae-hwan, just a month prior. Those two deaths were the first in a series of celebrity suicides that followed (many of those celebrities were said to be battling depression as well).


After her death, an ugly custody battle unfolded between her family (Jin-young and their mother) and her ex-husband, former baseball player (and deadbeat dad and abusive husband) Jo Sung-min, who eventually relinquished his claim after massive public outcry. Her two children were being raised by Jin-young and their grandmother, and Jin-young had taken on a fatherly role to them. He was even planning on making an acting comeback — he announced plans to return to television just earlier this month. He hand announced, “I’ve got to earn a living and start acting again for the sake of my niece and nephew. I’ll have to show them in person what kind of work their uncle does.”

Below, he is pictured with his sister’s two children.
