Highlighting the perceived pressures and challenges within the entertainment industry, the fan wrote in a heartfelt tweet translated from Indonesian, “Rest in Peace Lee Sun Kyun.Last night, to be honest, after rewatching the Indian film ‘Chhichhore,’ the actor who played the deceased was also affected by the pressures and trials of the industry, akin to Sushant Singh. The film conveys a poignant message, ‘PRESSURE REQUIRES TO GET AWAY FROM THE WORLD.'”
The post draws a connection between the challenges faced by the characters in the Bollywood film to the real-life struggles that actors may face in the entertainment industry, especially the trials Lee Sun-kyun went through in the days leading up to his demise on October 27.
The 2019 film ‘Chhichhore,’ explores the theme of academic and societal pressures on students and the impact on their mental health.
Lee Sun-kyun was found dead in his car at a park in Seol on the morning of October 27. He was found unresponsive by authorities, moments after his wife reported him missing on finding a letter that is percieved to be a suicide note and a will. While investigations are currently underway, the cause of death is “presumed to be suicide,” police said.
The actor, who was best known for his role in the Oscar-winning film ‘Parasite’, will be burried in a private funeral ceremony on Friday, December 29.
Meanwhile, Indian actor Sushant Singh Rajput, also passed away under tragic circumstances. He was found dead in his home. While at first his death was said to be a suicide, the case was later handed over to central agencies, who are still investigaing the matter.
