Yoo Joo-Eun apologises to family for “leaving first”

On Monday (29 Aug), Yoo’s older brother took to her Instagram account, which is now set to private, to share that the actress has left to a place where she can “rest comfortably”.

He also uploaded a note that she wrote before her death in accordance with her final wishes.

Yoo started out by apologising to her parents, grandmother, and brother for “leaving first”. She also urged them not to cry, reassuring them that she wasn’t feeling sad at all.

According to Yoo, she lived a life that was happier than what she thought she deserved, which was “enough” for her.

She then urged everyone not to worry about her and to live a good life.

Really wanted to be an actor

Yoo went on to say that she wanted to be an actor so badly, but living that life wasn’t easy for her.

She admitted that she didn’t want to do anything else, but that ended up giving her a lot of despair.

“Having something that you want to do is a blessing, but I also realised that only wanting to do that is a curse,” she wrote.

The Korea JoongAng Daily reports that after acting in “Big Forest” in 2018 and “Joseon Survival Period” in 2019, Yoo has not taken on any other roles.

Ending off her note, Yoo thanked her family and friends for loving her, which gave her strength and laughter.

“I had unforgettable memories until the end, so I think I’ve lived a successful life,” she said, also thanking her “teachers” for everything they taught her.

We offer our deepest condolences to Yoo’s loved ones. May she rest in peace.
