In case you are wondering why is this news here?? Baby walked for Andre Kim's fashion show before. I wonder how this will impact Baby. If he is close to the designer as he was to Park Yong Ha. If he is close to the designer, that makes it the second time he must face this kind of situation in a little more than a month. Poor Baby... I wanna see you in the news but not at someone's wake... ~>_<~

Andre Kim (75), one of Korea’s most famous fashion designers and iconic figures, passed away on August 12th at 7PM.

Andre Kim, whose real name is Kim Bong Nam, had been in poor health lately and was hospitalized late last month for health reasons. He had been receiving treatment in the ICU at the Seoul National University Hospital for colorectral cancer and serious pneumonia before succumbing to his illness.

Kim’s roots in fashion date back to 1962, when he entered the industry in Seoul and held a fashion show in Paris only a few years later. Since then, Kim had held a multitude of fashion shows and served a long list of clients, even designing the official uniforms for Korea for a number of Olympics in the past. With celebrity models including Super Junior’s Choi Siwon, f(x)’s Sulli, SHINee’s Minho, actor Kim Joon and more, Kim was especially known for his elaborate evening and wedding gown collections.

We hope that he rests in peace.

Many thanks to 린다 for keeping the blog going while I was gone. ^_^

Although late, I am posting this for those who has not heard or have not seen the translations elsewhere. Baby cried really badly on MuHigh on the night after finding out about the death of Park Yong Ha. So poor thing coz he still had to work during a time like this. To be an artiste is not so easy. Even at a time like this you still have to work and to joke because to entertain is your job. And because so many other people will be affected if you do not turn up or screw up because of your feelings. Baby fighting!!

Please pull through Baby and RIP Mr Park... I really can't believe that you are gone...

It has been an agonizing past few days for those who knew Park Yong Ha in one way or another. On July 2nd, most of them gathered together to send him off on his last journey after he committed suicide two days ago.

At about 6 this morning, the funeral procession for Park Yong Ha was held at Seoul’s St. Mary Hospital and among them was his ill father, who couldn’t help but wail in grief when the procession started, leaving everyone in further sorrow.

Park Yong Ha’s best friend, So Ji Sub who has not left the hospital since the tragedy, held his portrait and fronted the procession while fans numbering 200 from Korea, Japan, etc started murmuring, “He is smiling so cheerfully…” before getting teary.

After leaving Seoul’s St. Mary Hospital, the funeral procession then made its rounds past the three major tv stations, SBS, MBC and KBS and Park Yong Ha’s home before arriving at a crematorium in Seongnam to be cremated. Therafter, Park Yong Ha’s ashes will be laid to rest at Bundang Memorial Park.

Rest in peace, Park Yong Ha, you will not be forgotten.

It is really really tough for Baby. He made a depressing opening speech on 1st July Music High and yet he had to continue the program with a happier mood. Hope he will feel better soon. Fighting!

Again I said I would not post but ... Baby was suppose to meet Park Yong Ha the day before he passed away? This is just sad...

I have replaced the original below with longer version that Ode's translated.

On the 30th June, singer and talent Park Yong Ha breathed his last breath.

Park Yong Ha was found dead in his home in Seoul Nonhyun-dong at 5.30am in the morning where he was found to have hanged himself to death using the cable of his mobile phone charger. And it was discovered that he felt truly sorry towards his ill parents who are down with cancer due to long-term leaving their sides that he finally couldn't take it anymore and went to commit suicide. His filial piety truly got the better of him. On the 30th afternoon, police also further discovered that he died due to brash impulse moves, he hung himself in a moment of rash after drinking beer, and thus died of suffocation.

On the afternoon of 30th June where his temporary funeral wake was held at Seoul Kangnam's SungMo Hospital, talents So JiSub, Bae Yong Joon, Song SeungHeon, Kim Hyun Joo, SS501's Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Hyung Jun, Kyu Jong, UKISS Kim KiBum, Kim Bum, Park HyoShin, Yoon EunHye, UKnow YunHo etc some other stars attended to this.

In particular, Kim HyungJun whose relationship with Park YongHa isn't shallow got a chance to express himself in a phone interview with some media presses couldn't stop crying as he found it truly unbelievable and unexpected. He revealed that he was supposed to meet Park Yong Ha yesterday on the 29th June, but in the end they did not meet up, who knows the following day where he heard something about him again was about this. The reason why Kim HyungJun and Park Yong Ha is so close where he even treats Park YongHa like his akin brother is because during SS501's activities in Japan, Park YongHa happened to be doing his singer activities there too, even when they returned in Korea, they never stopped contacting close with each other. To the extend where Park YongHa who has almost no record in radio appearances showed Kim HyungJun pleasant face by appearing in his SBS radio Music High at 3 am in the wee morning.

Kim HyungJun was truly upset that his wonderful brother has now gone to heaven and left their sides.

Today is yet another sad day for us. This morning when I woke up and saw the news on allkpop, I was like, NO WAY!! Why!!

To tell the truth, Park Yongha was the first Korean actor who caught my attention. It was back in the days when Winter Sonata became hot in SG. Everyone was swooning over Bae Yong Jun but I was going
Park Yong Ha is so cute!!! Together with 린다, we even went to see him when he came to promote his album. Back in the good old days...

At first I was having doubts on if I should be writing about this at all because I do not want to be one of those who dig it in but the trend of suicide in Korea is really something to think about. I just want to say that the most precious thing in life is life itself. There is no problem that cannot be solved. I hope that Baby stay strong and most importantly, do not follow this path in times of trouble. RIP...
