In my brain he’s still alive.
I can’t believe you can make biggest movie in last decade and end up dying because you wasn’t able to accept dark side of your life… It’s all sad.
💔 LEE SUN-KYUN SPENT HIS FINAL MONTHS BEGGING FOR PRIVACY WHILE SOUTH KOREA TURNED HIS PERSONAL LIFE INTO A NATIONAL SPECTACLE.
If you've watched Parasite or My Mister, you probably remember Lee Sun-kyun. He was one of South Korea's most respected actors, with a career spanning decades and performances that reached audiences worldwide.
But in October 2023, everything changed.
Lee became the subject of a police investigation over alleged illegal drug use. Almost overnight, his private life became headline material. Personal conversations were leaked, intimate details were dissected, and his name became the centre of a national scandal.
Throughout the investigation, Lee maintained that he had been tricked into taking the substances without knowing what they were. He also tested negative in both an initial drug screening and subsequent laboratory testing.
Yet the public scrutiny continued.
He was questioned three times, with his final interrogation reportedly lasting 19 hours. As the pressure intensified, he asked through his lawyer for any further questioning to take place privately, explaining that the constant public exposure was becoming unbearable.
His request was rejected.
On December 27, 2023, Lee Sun-kyun was found dead inside his car near a park in Seoul. Police treated his death as an apparent suicide. He was 48.
He left behind a wife and two children.
And perhaps one of the most heartbreaking parts of this entire tragedy is that his final months were spent under a level of public scrutiny that few people could imagine enduring.
His death sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. Director Bong Joon-ho and other prominent film industry figures subsequently called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his treatment, raising serious concerns about media leaks, police procedures and the public exposure of people under investigation.
We may never fully understand everything Lee was going through or what ultimately led to his death. But his story should make us question the way society treats people accused of wrongdoing before the truth has even been established.
An investigation is not a conviction. A public figure is still a human being. And being famous should never mean surrendering every right to privacy and dignity.
Lee Sun-kyun deserved to be remembered for his extraordinary work, not have his final months reduced to a public scandal.
Rest in peace, Lee Sun-kyun. 🕊️
🚨 Marc Cucurella on Harry Kane Ballon d’Or: “I wouldn't say it was unfair, because if you look at his numbers, they're the kind of numbers Harry Kane might never replicate again. In that sense, he's had an outstanding season. That said, personally, I would have given it to Mbappé or Lamine”.
“They are players I'd turn on the TV to watch as a football fan, you know what I mean? So it's not that Kane didn't deserve it, but I have to say I was a bit surprised”, told @elchiringuitotv.

Idk why people online are crying about how Bollywood doesn’t release good movies, when people give money to such movies…. And honestly sometimes criticise good romcoms

Битый соевый азиатский Дядя Ваня.
Достаточно интересно, есть остринка, очень хрустящие ломтики. Соевость чувствуется. Мне её не хватило, но среднему потребителю будет достаточно. В составе чеснок паприка, чили, имбирь. Имбиря не почувствовала, остальное есть. 8/10
