The contents of the last phone conversation between Choi Jin Shil and a magazine reporter was made known to the public. Choi Jin Shil is believed to have ended her life shortly after ending the phone conversation. Choi Jin Shil had called up the reporter after receiving a call from Baek who had spread the rumors about her being a money lender on the 28th of last month. Choi said she was terrified to know that Baek actually knew her number and was very scared when she heard Baek’s voice over the phone. Two days later on the 30th, Choi Jin Shil called up the reporter again. Choi thought that by tracing who Baek was, the rumors of her being a money lender would stop at that. But she never thought that more people started knowing about it online and accused Choi of causing Ahn Jae Hwan’s death. Choi said, “Perhaps people will believe that I am really innocent if I die. My name is Choi Jin Shil (note: Jin Shil = Truth in Korean) but people are calling me Choi the fake. This makes me really upset. I know I will be letting my children down if I die, but compared to being scolded when I am alive as their mum, I think being a innocent mom to them after my death would be better.” Credit: Coolsmurf =============================================================== The contents of the last phone call the late actress Choi Jin-sil made to a magazine reporter have been disclosed. In the November edition of Queen magazine, the reporter, Kim, a close friend of Choi, revealed the phone conversation he had with Choi just before she committed suicide. She expressed grief over rumors believed to have forced her to take her own life. According to the report, Choi called him around 1 a.m. on Oct. 2, presumably hours before committing suicide, and cried for a while. She repeatedly said, “I don’t need anything! What did I do wrong? Will all this end, if I die?” Choi suffered rumors that she was involved in the death of actor Ahn Jae-hwan, who killed himself in September allegedly after failing to pay back debts to loan sharks. It was rumored that Choi lent him billions of won. “I want to die. No, I’ll die. Listen, listen to me carefully as it will be the last. I want you to take care of my children. I’m sorry. Please help the kids. You know what I have suffered for the last six years, you know what the truth is. I trust you,” Choi said, ending the seven and a half minute call. In an earlier call made Sept. 30, Choi told Kim, “I thought people would believe me because the rumor spreader was caught. But online boards are still filled with my story, and many people still believe that I’m the loan shark who drove Ahn to death.” “I’m so scared. I feel like dying if the situation continues. Will people trust me if I die? My name is `Choi Jin-sil’ (Jin-sil means truth) but people call me `Choi Hypocrisy.’ Isn’t it sad?” she was quoted as saying. “I’m sorry for my children, but it may be better to become a mom whose truth is revealed after death than a mom at whom people point fingers,” Choi said.

DEATH is never the answer to the problem. People are gossips and as a celebrity, she should know better. If you can't handle it, then seek help or get out showbiz. I think she had had emotional problem and the rumors just escalate it to the extend that ended her life. I feel sad for the kids who lost their mother over stupid rumors.
i don't know but it's weird. a lot of s. korean celebrities are committing suicide in recent years .. especially hanging themselves .. it's kinda scary if you ask me. what can be so bad that drove them to seek death ... is it the public or what?? cuz i have seen many celebrities in the us hit rock bottom but still able to climb back up .. you would think that as a public person, one would know well how to deal with "gossips and rumours" .. good or bad .. .
