I don't know if anyone has translated her blog but my mother did since she is Korean:

그냥 단순히

시간은 너무 짧아

그리고 기억은 너무 아파

더이상 아픈기억

만들필요 없잖아

오히려 부딧히는게

더 쓸쓸한거 보다 나을지 몰라

차라리 서로 때리는게 나을지 몰라

하지만 그냥 나는 너무 아까워 시간이

Simply nothing

time is too short

and memories are painful

there's no reason

to create painful memories

maybe facing it is better than

being sorry or alone

maybe it's better to fight with others

anyhow, I don't want to waste my time

There were numerous instances where I deeply wanted to comment Daul's posts and tell her that I cared, that though strangers I would be more than willing to listen, to share, to alleviate her of her fears and sadness. Even if it would have seemed trivial to her, even if it didn't amount to a response, I wanted her to know--she should have known--that death was not the only way.

But I didn't and I think it'll haunt me for a very long time.

was that her last entry in her blog?

When I first found out I couldn't even believe it...still hard to believe. She was such a lively girl, seemed to be really fun backstage, etc. RIP Daul, there's nothing more to say really. <3

It's unbelievable to know that she had just posted something on her blog nov. 18th. It's scary, frightening and yet distrubing. I miss her already, she was so gorgeous!

RIP DAUL KIM

 

[papa_levante]

was that her last entry in her blog?

No, it was posted 4 days ago.

My mother and I visited her Korean networking page, and for a sort of status, she wrote that she couldn't sleep/insomia.

RIP Daul Kim.

All Korean media are splashing her news from this morning.
Her Korean agency is shocked and grasp this situation.
Oh, her news is airing now on TV.
She would often told her acquaintances that she wanted to die..

 

[fherreranded]

"I wore high high heels and short short skirts
to hide my depression and weakness" thats so sad, aww!

 

[*Truffaut*]

I gasped when I read about her death on fashionologie. I liked her as a model and read her blog occasionally. It's sad that she felt the need to take her own life - I can't imagine the pain she was going through.

 

[lanvinray]

oh my god...is this really true? Daul....why? you will be missed and you will always be one of my favorite models

 

[papa_levante]

This just goes to show that wearing gorgeous clothes, jetsetting across the globe and earning money doesn't make a person happy. Poor girl.

 

[WerbowyStegner]

One of her FIRST blog even haunts me:

is doing well. too busy traveling
like 3 countries in one week
its overwhelming and i am
going to smash my face with
this hammer,
so you will probably not
see daul as so often as before.
but you will see daulmonster as she lives
inside ur heart forever.

my life as daul was so miserable and lonely.
please join my loneliness in another world.

i love you all.

daul











KIDDING . im fine. just tired.

I wish she could have had someone to talk to..... you never really know what is actually going on in every home, sometimes what looks so perfect & happy to those looking in, isn't always so. RIP Daul Kim.

 

[Mad0789]

i am numb from this.
rest in peace, daul.

 

[Duckie]

This is what Imogen posted on Twitter:

can't think. thankyou for being the first girl to talk to me when i was nervous and new. won't forget things we said and the way you were.DK

 

[min-SH]

i feel terrible. this is just so sad.
r.i.p. Daul.
wish you are in a better place now.

rest in peace Daul Kim...
