The departure has many twists and turns after the movie for people over 18 years old

No one would have thought that Lee Eun Joo would seek death. She has just finished the movie The Scarlet Letter and the war movie Taegukgi. Before "going away" a few days, she was still radiant at the graduation ceremony of Dankook University. Lee Eun Joo's passing was the most shocking news in Korea in 2005.

Her funeral was attended by more than 200 artists and filmmakers. Chosun said that the TV show about Lee Eun Joo's death received great attention from the audience nationwide. According to Nielsen, TV Entertainment News conducted by MBC achieved a viewership rating of 21.8%, a record number at that time.

"Lee Eun Joo is a humble, sincere and warm artist. I just hope she can be at peace with God," Moon Geun Young said.

The Korean public has always questioned why Lee Eun Joo ended her own life. Years later, the police and Lee Eun Joo's family released the contents of the actress's will. In the letter, the actress mentioned the impasse at work.

"I've wanted to do many things but I'm too tired. I'm living but not like a real living person. I don't want anyone to be disappointed even though I also want to make money," she wrote.

"I want to go back to the days of a year ago," she added.

On Chosun, the actress's family blamed the crew of The Scarlet Letter. They believe that the hot scenes and the constraints of the film crew are the reasons for the actress's departure. Although Lee Eun Joo has experience in acting cool scenes on the screen before, but The Scarlet Letter is the film that is more shocking.

The film is a story about a murder investigation case. There, the male lead of the film has to live two different lives, keeping a sweet relationship with his wife and singer lover. Lee Eun Joo plays the rebellious mistress. To play this role, Lee Eun Joo had to go undressed in front of the camera. She also has a real "love" scene with a male co-star and a gay hot scene.

When the movie hit theaters, the audience argued with Lee Eun Joo's appearance. They thought that she did not match the cool look of the character in the script. The hot scene made her even more a victim of criticism.

Relatives revealed that Lee Eun Joo couldn't get rid of her role and fell into a state of depression because of criticism from the crowd. A few months before her "departure", she always talked about death and deliverance.

"We have reason to say that Lee Eun Joo died because of the harshness of the entertainment industry. A year ago, the younger sister was still living happily. After the movie had hot scenes, the mockery made Lee Eun Joo is tired," said the actress' brother.

Meanwhile, the crew of The Scarlet Letter denied any involvement with the reason that "Lee Eun Joo has acted in films with sensitive scenes in the past".

Lee Eun Joo's cause of death was concluded to be pressure. Police did not expand the investigation due to lack of evidence. Because of that, over the past 14 years, the passing of the talented actress still leaves many questions for those who love her.

The current social environment makes many people feel very stressed. In this fast-paced life, many people will suffer from depression. The special nature of work in the entertainment industry will cause a lot of pressure that ordinary people cannot imagine. Some celebrities even openly talk about their experiences with depression.

Of course, it's a pity that there are famous people who can't stand the torment of depression, so they choose to leave this world and embark on the path of ending their lives without a way out. In 2000, this innocent beautiful girl embarked on an "off" road to fame that quickly confused many people. Public opinion was mixed, but she remained silent and continued to act in such films.

At that time, Lee Eun Joo was even as famous as Song Hye Kyo. Therefore, the sudden death of Lee Eun Joo made the Korean people bewildered.
