Today marks four years since the passing of actress Yoo Ju-eun, who left us on August 29, 2022, at the young age of 27.
Known for her roles in dramas like tvN's Big Forest and TV Chosun's Joseon Survival Guide, she left behind a deeply heartbreaking final note. Here is the full, exact letter she wrote:
"I'm sorry for leaving first. Especially to my mom, dad, grandmother, and older brother, I am most sorry. My heart was screaming that it didn't want to live. Perhaps life without me will feel empty, but please live bravely anyway. I will be watching over you all. Don't cry. Take care of your health."
"I wanted to act so much. It may have been my everything and a part of me. But living that life was not easy. I didn't want to do anything else. That was too despairing. Realizing that having something you want to do is a blessing, but wanting only that thing is a curse."
"I lived until the end with memories I will never forget, so I feel like I had a successful life. Thank you for embracing and understanding me, who was lacking and impatient. I'm sorry for not expressing myself well. But I hope you understand my heart."
"I am so grateful and respectful to all the precious connections I made, especially my teachers. Thank you for teaching me so many things in life."
May she rest in peace. 💜
