Ruslana and Daul both died at age 20. So sad! I thought girls who become models were really happy and tough girls but I was wrong....it's a tough business but why *************? I can't understand!

why models...girls did this?Ruslana.....now Daul...
rest in peace girl.....
Because being "beautiful" "rich" and "glamorous" doesn't solidify happiness into your mind and being.
Humans are never without worry or self torture and these women were humanity's finest examples of society's fallacies...when everything we hold so dear to what we consider happiness is nothing but smoke.

This made me so unspeakably sad today. I used to visit her cyworld and look through her blog in the beginning and was always struck by her incredible style, intelligence, and her heartfelt search for meaning in art, people, life. She was a smart cookie but not reading her latest entries didn't know how much pain she was in or how much pressure she felt she was under. Rest in peace, she's going to be missed.

Suicide stories always remind me of that song from A perfect circle: The Outsider

Which is understandable. It makes people more angry than sad.

...yeah but you can lead a horse to water...you can't make it drink.
Mental illness and instability aren't even taken seriously to society. It's like unless you are bleeding from you head, no one could give a sh*t.
Mentality fuels the body so that's kinda a stupid way for people to think.

It is so sad I was shocked when I read it on NY Daily New and I had to come here to pay respects. I think the nitty gritty pressure of modeling is far different that what we all think. Outside people see glamour, fame and money and girls on the inside feel that it's a road to no where, obviously there must be an underlining cause besides her job, but the modeling industry helped pushed her over the edge.

I was shocked to hear the news. I didn't want to believe it and nurtured a slim hope the news would be just some sick joke. But it wasn't.
Just a month ago I drew a three-piece series of portraits of her, mostly based on her work for i-D magazine. And now she's gone. I can't believe it.
I hope and pray she has found her peace now. And I hope whichever God she believed in would give her the love she must have felt she didn't get in this world.
I had a deep depression some ten years ago. It wasn't because I lacked love. Sometimes you just can't help it. It can come out of nowhere. Sometimes when I walked alone in evenings I thought about ending it all by jumping in front of the next bus passing me by. But I thought it might not kill me and I surely didn't need a broken body to go with a broken mind. But somehow I pulled through my depression. Perhaps I was lucky. Not everyone is.
I feel so sorry for Daul she wasn't among the lucky ones. Whether she lacked love or something else, we don't know. So many questions and no answers.
I cry. I never knew you could mourn so much over a person you didn't know in person.
We love her and we will miss her. Don't ever forget her. I won't.

Totally agree with you. Model world and the money is a road to hell.

Gosh I read it this morning on a fashion website and kept saying "What!" "No!" aloud over and over again, I thought no not her.
This is sooo very sad. Condolences for her family. I so wish she would have made a different choice.

She was on my friend list on facebook and she was a nice girl. I still can't believe it. Couldn't she just quit modeling and go back to her country? Why end your life? I don't want to call her a coward or a weak person but why hurt your loved ones by leaving in a horrible way? Didn't she care about her loved ones? She could have find help and comfort, I believe. I believe she was a smart girl.
Korean entertainment is by far the cruelest I've seen. The fans are very obsessive and the smallest thing you do wrong and they all want you to simply disappear. There has many reported high-profile suicides this year alone in Korea because of extreme pressure of the people/fans. Plus, Daul Kim hated the pressure of Korea, that's why she loved Paris.
Few months ago there was a Korean celebrity who made a simple joking comment in myspace saying "Korea is gay, I don't want to go there" a few years ago and it was leaked just now and there was a petition entitled "Jae-Bom Please Commit Suicide" and they literally forced him to leave Korea and go back to America. Korean fans can be the nastiest people you can ever meet, or the nicest....
