Got it Share Normal text sizeLarger text sizeVery large text size Advertisement Rising Korean actress Lee Eun-ju, 25, who starred in one of the highest-grossing movies in South Korea's history, has died, leaving a suicide note scrawled in blood. She had apparently hanged herself with a necktie in a dressing room yesterday. Lee starred in the hit movie Taeguki, and had been battling depression, her family told Korean media. She left a suicide note scrawled in blood, in which she wrote "Mom, I am sorry and I love you," police said. She suffered a bout of mental illness after performing nude scenes for her role as a sultry jazz singer in the noir Korean crime movie The Scarlet Letter, her family said. Advertisement The movie was selected as the closing film last year at one of the biggest film events in Asia, the Pusan International Film Festival. Lee's managers said the movie had nothing to do with her suicide. Lee is best known for her role in Taeguki, which can be translated as "National Flag". The movie, about brothers who are forced to fight in the Korean War, set an opening-day box office record in Korea and made the rounds of the international circuit. Lee was considered a rising star in the South Korean movie industry, one of the hottest in Asia. She scored her first major role in the 2000 movie Oh! Soo-jung and had graduated from Danguk University a few days before she was found dead. Reuters Save Log in, register or subscribe to save articles for later.
