U;nee hung herself
 
I don't realli know this singer, have only 1 clip og her, but i was shocked by the news

Quote:

Singer U;Nee (credited as Lee Hye Ryun 이혜련, born Hur Yoon 허윤) was found dead this morning in her dressing room where she had hung herself.

U;Nee was supposed to begin filming her first music video of her 3rd album on the 22nd of January which was to be released on February 1, 2007, the same time as her comeback.

In the morning of January 21, 2007, U;Nee's mother, grandmother, and uncle left for church at 10 am. During that time, U;Nee had hung herself in her dressing room with her bathrobe belt from a railing 2 meters high. Her grandmother found her around 12:50pm and immediately dialed emergency help.

Despite her death, U;Nee's management company has stated that they will release her 3rd album as planned on February 1st.

Several stars and friends came to the prayer service held for U;Nee including Maya, Lee Seung Hwan, Kim Jin Pyo, Lee Hwa Sun, Lee Ki Chan, So Yoo Jin, and Park Ye Jin. Maya stated in a short interview that the day before her death, she had received a text message from U;Nee saying hello so the news of her death came as quite a shock.

Rumor across many Korean sites as far as reason for her death was her bout with depression over her lackluster sales for her albums as well as criticism about her image.

After her death, her body was transported to World Hospital. The family has planned to have her body cremated.

Soon after her death, her mother held a press conference at the hospital in order to squash any rumors. She confirmed that U;Nee dealt with bouts of depression and was on medication for her condition. U;Nee was apparently very introverted and suffered from all the pressure she received even as a young child.

U;Nee first debuted on KBS "신세대 보고 어른들은몰라요" (Adults Don't Understand the New Generation) and also starred in "용의 눈물" (Dragon's Tears). She first debuted in 2003 as a singer with her album U;Nee Code.

her music vids feel so creepy now. you can view them on youtube. one has her screaming in horror & being all ghost-like , like straight from "The Ring" or something.

chocopockymaster 22nd January 2007 08:52 PM

I have no idea who she is, but that's tragic. :( My deepest sympathies to her family, friends, and fans.

I don't know either, but news of anyone hanging themselves is sad :(

BabyUtada 23rd January 2007 01:03 AM

She was so young and pretty too *T_T* and for her to be twenty-five and go through so much hardship ,critism, and depression.........:(

May she truly RIP!!!!!!

..:Hot:Like:Wow:.. 23rd January 2007 01:08 AM

I feel so sad for her but I do think it would be kind of pathetic if she really did kill herself for those reasons alone.

She could have atleast waited to see how well her upcoming album would have went.

I think there would have been deeper reasons for her suicide. The reason mentioned above would probably just be a few contributing factors.

Norrel 23rd January 2007 01:14 AM

I don't even know this signer, but this is really horrible! ;_;

ak.malfoy 23rd January 2007 01:25 AM

I just knew her because one of her songs was featured in the PIU game; her music's great, although she's gone now... rest in peace.

jeffycue 23rd January 2007 01:28 AM

damn... the presure sure went to her hear...

Dawnie 23rd January 2007 01:47 AM

What a traigic end to a young life. I didn;t know her but the news is awful. It must be awful to always be under pressure like that. My deepest sympathies go out to her family.

Calico 23rd January 2007 02:48 AM

My friend who is a fan of hers told me about it. I don't know who she is either, but...well, we'll never really know what exactly drove her to her death. It's probably best that way, anyway.

me too. Now i'm going to have to look for her on youtube to see what her musiv videos are really like.

ayu_ready? 23rd January 2007 08:41 AM

well, it's said she hung herself because her albums were not so good accepted
and she & her image were critisized
sad...it must have been such an awful pressure :(

ya know, she's quite pretty, btw

I have a PV "GO" it so gothic-like...
realli dark and sorrowful...

and ya know, it's so hard to belive, especially when under the post of her death, there's a bright post of her returning

U;Nee (유니)
Comeback after a 20 month-long hiatus

Sexy singer U;Nee is releasing her third album “Hani” on the 22nd. This is her first musical release in two years since “Call Call Call” from her second album released in March 2005. Having been on a 20 month break, U;Nee has been working hard to prepare for her comeback.

“Hani” is a strong dance song that features hiphop beats with an Oriental sound, layering the sound of an Indian sitar onto the background of Korean-style pop. The song will be accompanied by unique dance choreography utilizing U;Nee’s dancing skills.

U;Nee’s comeback will be broadcast on TV programs later this month.

I know it must have been really hard on her, but if it was me- I would have just kept trying harder. :shrug I was watching some of her videos on YT. She was cute, and her music was really good!! May she rest in peace :(

ayu_ready? 23rd January 2007 09:30 AM

^ I agree
but ppl are so different
someone can fight, and someone can't...or just tired of fighting
we can't judge, we don't know how she felt like

Kodayumi 23rd January 2007 10:20 AM

Rest in peace. that's a sudden death.

I noticed that as well, making the entire death thing seem really eerie. That's horrible news though, despite the fact that I've never heard of her. I'll definitely check out some of those PVs to see what her music was like, but it will probably feel odd.

Jayee19 23rd January 2007 04:07 PM

Aww, she was so cute. RIP and my heart goes out to the family and friends. I wasn't very familiar with her music, but I knew of her. Now I don't think I'll be able to listen to it now. It'll be sad and creepy.

About her death, her mother did say that she suffered from depression. It's a horrible sickness that affects every aspect of your life, including your perception of things. So, no. She didn't just kill herself over low sales. That sure didn't help, but that wasn't the sole reason.

sexysaucestar 23rd January 2007 09:37 PM

This is very sad; any death is sad, but especially when it is of a young person. The general public will probably never know the full reasons as to why U;nee hung herself, since it seems that she was also secretive about a lot of her life.

Rest in Peace, U;nee.

Hazuki 23rd January 2007 09:53 PM

Rest in Peace U;nee.

Me and my friends were just talking about her this afternoon.. She was such a great and talented singer..

Miss Corleone 24th January 2007 12:23 AM

Seriously i'm even crying with such horrible news. didnt know her much but still this is so tragic and sad......
btw , how old was she?

~Amy~ 24th January 2007 01:40 AM

That is so sad. ;_; She seemed like a really good artist.

Chandrachan 24th January 2007 03:30 AM

That's really sad news and she was so pretty and young...
R.I.P

extepan 24th January 2007 03:57 PM

that's tragic. may she rest in peace.
seriously, modern day artistes are faced with too much pressure. maybe the press should give them more space.

25 or smth like that

Raleigh 25th January 2007 06:37 AM

Very sad indeed.. may she rest in peace

Rurutia 25th January 2007 06:54 AM

my gosh, first time i've come to this forum and recieved such horrible news......(besides secret not selling as well as it should have, jk jk).....but anyway, that's horrible, i feel so sorry for her parents, she was so pretty too, but i guess there were a lot of things in her life that were bothering her.

argh, i feel so sad now.........if this happened to ayumi , i'd drop dead.....uh...i don't even want to think about it.....may her soul rest in peace

Kodayumi 25th January 2007 08:24 AM

Why did she commited suicide? i mean it's so wasted, she's so pretty and everything.

ayu_ready? 25th January 2007 11:40 AM

^I posted it in my 1st post

truehappiness 25th January 2007 11:44 AM

Apparently, she had been on hiatus for quite a while, and only recently was to make her comeback.

A lot of Koreans surprisingly only know of her comeback and not that she's gone.. :<

Dustie 25th January 2007 12:12 PM

Oh...

I wonder if her third album will break the sales...

*hearT_Place* 26th January 2007 06:01 AM

Wow, that's horrible! My condolences go out to her family and friends.

DerrickRocks 26th January 2007 09:54 AM

Ayumi has went threw alot of depression even though she is a famous star and icon but she wouldnt go hang herself and ayu had a really horrible past that she does not talk about. But yeah U;Nee was basically what we would call benched for a year and a few months so she was in a hard place. the Korea music industry is rough! down right dirty i heard i mean BoA had it bad just debuting and i can tell she doesn't really want to go back to Korea for music festivities it is so harsh over there all their artist have to be perfect, flawless. U;nee was a victim of that industry. I wished she didnt have to take her life but she seemed to be hurt for a while my prayers and love are with her

Partino 1st February 2007 11:37 AM

totally a surprise for me... just days before she hung herself I discoverd her music. The "Call Call Call" PV floating around on youtube was so cool-ish, that I totally fell for her. Now it's a really hard punch for me. She was so pretty and her style was awsome. But, if the roumers are true, she must have had really sufferd. Attacks to her and her "well done" breast-enhancement and spreading roumers around the kroean press isn't for everybody. May she rest in peace and her grandma should be prould to have such a good grandchild.

Beauty4123 1st February 2007 11:35 PM

i never heard of her, but it's sad she passed away. so i hope she rests in peace.

DerrickRocks 2nd February 2007 06:23 PM

She was an amazing artist and released a single in Japan called "ONE" that song was awesome. She was so gorgeous and omgish she had talent. My friend who is korean told me it was no surprise this happened. The Korea press is really really harsh and will bring down an artist by spreading horrible rumors and going into their private life.

No wonder why BoA isn't so pressed on going back to Korea. It's always other there where she is near dying all the time and passing out and getting hurt. It's very hectic there i think that is why alot of korean artist come to japan and start a career.

I wonder if the U.S is being to harsh on Britney Spears... seeing what happened to this beautiful talented woman makes me wonder. I have battled with suicide and it is not a easy fight either. You can have 1 million friends who care and love you but somthing in the brain causes it.
And medication makes it worse... i stopped taking mine and its fine!

HybridTheory 3rd February 2007 08:48 PM

:thud

Wow, she was stunning, so young and full of life...It goes to show that the pressure in this industry is immense. Il definately check out some of her music later on.
