Singer U;Nee 19th death anniversary and the Cost of Cyberbullying
According to Naver Next Page, U;Nee was found dead at her home on January 21, 2007. The tragedy occurred just one day before she was scheduled to shoot the music video for her third album. It's widely known that she suffered from severe psychological distress caused by malicious online comments. Her pleas on her personal blog—"Malicious comments hurt me"—went largely unheeded by the digital masses of that era.
From Child Star to Pop Icon
U;Nee entered the spotlight in 1996 as a child actress in the drama 'Adults Don’t Know.' She successfully transitioned to a music career in 2003, gaining fame with her hit 'Call Call Call.' Her sexy concept made her a household name, but the persona also invited intense scrutiny and unmerited hate. Following her family's wishes, her final album was released posthumously on January 26, 2007.
