Meanwhile this is yet another huge loss to the K-Drama world
Recall that recently South Korea has been embroiled with constant news of sudden death and suicide amongst its actors and music stars
All this due to social media pressure and cyber bullying
The most recent case of this cyber bullying is that of Queen of tears actor, Kim Soon Hyun,
who was terribly bullied for causing the death of his one time girlfriend, Kim saeron
The actor was also accused of being a pedophile, with allegations that he dated Saeron was she was still a child
Although all allegations are now proving to be false, the death of Kim saeron
who committed suicide as well, was also due to excessive bullying online
Although the cause of Lee SEO yi is unknown, we do hope it has nothing to do with the same cancel culture and cyber bullying that has become known with South Korean fans
