#lee sunkyun was brought in for questioning multiple times and the last time was THIS CHRISTMAS WEEKEND

[doux-amer]

I was afraid the police questioning was going to lead to death and I'm sadly not as surprised as I should be over Lee Sunkyun's death. I don't care what he was accused of (let's not forget that he tested negative for everything! And that this all happened based on a RUMOR. A RUMOR. By a notoriously unreliable source. But is this surprising? The police never do anything properly because they're the police); it isn't anything that should condemn a man to the witch hunt he went through.

If you're not familiar with how the witch hunts run in Korea, just know that it isn't a simple matter of being brought in for questioning (if there's actual official action taken) or being the subject of gossip (if it's society deciding your fate). You're essentially subjected to such horrific treatment that it's no surprise that people break down mentally. It happens all the time. It's making me want to smash things because media outlets are being vague about his death so everyone online is like "Oh, that's so sad that he was depressed. You never know who needs help" or "People who are struggling with depression should get support." He wasn't depressed! This was a man driven to suicide because the government, police, and media basically made him feel like he had no future.

#if you don't know how insane korean culture is about this...it's easy to read up on it #thank god jiyong made it through this but i was worried that he or lee sunkyun would be mentally impacted #lee sunkyun was brought in for questioning multiple times and the last time was THIS CHRISTMAS WEEKEND #he should have been spending that time with family and instead he was subjected to 19 hours of police interrogation. NINETEEN! #don't @ me about his infidelity. i'm well aware that other things surfaced while they were digging into him #but a. that's not something someone should be killed for and b. that's not a crime however you feel about it #(for the record that's something i have an issue with but my personal feelings have nothing to do with this) #none of this should have happened and there's so much police misconduct at play #all i can say is that i hope they get sued to oblivion #and due to lee sunkyun's profile because of the fame parasite brought him #this becomes an international embarrassment/disaster for the govt police and media #and something good can come out of this because this can't continue #all three are disgusting and should be treated as such
