she was a very gorgeous, intelligent and unfortunately a melancholic girl

Still so terribly sad about this. She haunts me. I'm glad her blog is back up; it should remain so forever.

From April issue of US Marie Claire:

The only fashion magazine I have seen (we don't have so stellar selection of fashion magazines here in Finland though) saying at least something about Daul's demise.

Scan by me

That is a pretty dumb article which has little to do with Daul. She was not a 'k-celeb' signed to a slave contract - she did what she wanted and from what I gather her korean agency supported her non-modelling endevours.

 

[Ruinarchy]

Yes, wow. That is a shameful article. Way to reduce a complex human being to a clumsy tabloid tagline.

I'm with Sethii and Ruinarchy- that article is just dumb. Conclusions like this were what led Daul's family to lock her blog, I bet the moron who wrote this just looked at the last post when it finally became visible again two months ago.

For a start, Daul was mostly brought up in Malaysia and Singapore- she moved back to Seoul only when she began modelling at age 15 (hardly the 'late teens' the writer claims in that piece of sh*t article). And while the bit about the exploitative nature of the Korean entertainment industry may be true, it doesn't mean they can lump Daul in with every Korean celeb who committed suicide, and extrapolate the other celebs' reasons to state that she killed herself for the same reasons. She was outspoken enough to state when things sucked, I hardly think she'd have kept quiet and let herself be exploited by an agency in Seoul, particularly once her career was taking off.

It's shoddy journalism, to say the very least- and a magazine printed this? Shame on Marie Claire.

i watched her model diary on youtube last night and i still can't believe she's not with us
also that article over there just dumb that blames her suicide to her country and her agency just stupid

Half a year ago one bright, young life ended through an own hand. Daul, you may have gone but you are not forgotten.

"...Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and whiter than the snow
And screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go

Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone-white, so delicate, lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you how you used to be slow-drowned
You were angels, so much more than everything
Hold for the last time, then slip away quietly
Open my eyes but I never see anything..."

I can't believe today would have been her 21st birthday...RIP, Daulmonster, no one can replace you even if they try.

 

[ad041715]

Happy 21st Birthday Daul!

We all miss you! Hope your soul is very happy

 

[Yendor]

i always wonder if she were here right now what she would be doing? Would she feel the same way?

Rest in Peace

 

[ad041715]

^ Sadly, I think she'd still feel the same way.
