Jang Ja Yun’s incident takes a minor step forward with the phone call recordings of the deceased actress being released by MBC yesterday. The call recordings contained a part in which Jang Ja Yun told a good friend of her that her boss Kim wanted to kill her. This news shocked the Korean public and even forced a police clarification on the matter today (26th). According to MBC NewsDesk on the 25th which reported the phone conversation in Jang Ja Yun’s cellphone: “In one of the phone conversation with her good friend before she committed suicide, Jang Ja Yun said ‘Kim wanted to terminate all my benefits and even reprimanded me. Kim said that he wanted to kill me and also proceeded to assert violence on me. He will really kill me’. The conversation shows her extreme fear towards her boss Kim.” In another phone conversation, Jang Ja Yun said: “I have done according to my boss’s instruction… I do not want to spoil his reputation. Although I can expose him if I bring the sms that he had text me to the police, but I do not want to do so.” This conversation clearly hinted that she was indeed forced to have sex with others or something against her own will. However, the South Korean police has today tried to clarify on the report made by MBC, by saying that Kim had indeed threatened Jang Ja Yun, but not in the way reported by MBC. The police spokesperson said: “The ‘kill’ mentioned by Kim may not literally mean ‘killing someone’. It may likely mean killing off Jang Ja Yun’s actress career. However just based on this, Kim has already committed an offence and the police will continue the investigation through this clue.” One phone conversation, two different interpretations. Which is the truth? According to news on the 24th, the police spokesperson from the team responsible for the investigation on Jang Ja Yun’s case, has revealed that a couple of evidences have pointed to the likelihood of the “suicide document” being released even before Jang Ja Yun committed suicide. Therefore, the police will be summoning the source person, Jang’s former manager Yoo Jang Ho, for a thorough investigation. Since it has been scientifically proven that the document was indeed written by Jang Ja Yun herself, the next mystery to solve is whether the document was penned by Jang out of her own will. And apart from the deceased, Yoo is the sole key person who holds the answer to everything. Previously, Yoo had claimed that the document was written by Jang Ja Yun and he did not force her to write it. However, Jang’s family has insisted on the unbelievable contents of the document which they believed to be written by Jang under force. Her family also pointed to the struggle between Yoo and Kim, in which Jang Ja Yun was just an unfortunate sacrifice in their conflict. The police spokesperson said: “Through the evidences we have gathered till now, we found that Yoo had contacted several respectable figures in the entertainment industry and shown them the ’suicide document’ even before Jang Ja Yun sought her death. Jang Ja Yun seemed to know about it as well. We are uncertain as to the motive of Yoo for his actions. Hence, we have issued a summon to Yoo. If he failed to report to the police station by the 25th, we will then issue an arrest warrant on him. Yoo had failed to comply to previous summons citing health reasons.” According to one director who have worked with Yoo in the past, Yoo may possibly force Jang Ja Yun to write the “suicide document” and used it as a chip to strike an agreement with Kim. Jang Ja Yun may have also committed suicide after she knew of the document being spread around by Yoo. Credits: hanfever
