Park Ji-Sun Dead: Comedian & Mother Die Together

Park Ji-Sun, a South Korean comedian, was found dead with her mother, according to the Korean Herald.

Ji-Sun was only 36 years old. She was found dead with her mother on November 2 “at a house in Mapo-gu, western Seoul,” the Korean news site reported, citing police.

What was the cause of death? That’s unclear, but Korean Herald reported that she was “under treatment for a medical condition” that the publication didn’t name. But later reports said that police found a suicide note that may have been written by Ji-Sun’s mother.

“Thank you for making everyone around you especially NCT feel welcome with kindness and always made sure people around you feel comfortable. You will always be remembered. You’ve been a great MC to NCT and other artists,” a fan wrote on Twitter, one of many tributes to Ji Sun. People repeated Ji-Sun’s wisdom, with one writing, “Park Ji Sun once said, if you don’t like someone, don’t spend your energy on that and just use your energy for the people and things you like instead.”

According to Zoompi, Ji-Sun first started breaking through as a comedian in 2007 under KBS. After that time, she was on variety shows and acted as a host for “events such as press conferences and showcases,” the site reported.

According to Rappler, Park studied education at an “elite Korea University” but audiences appreciated her “down-to-earth and self deprecating humor.” She often acted out the role of a woman “repeatedly rejected on a date,” the site reported.

“I am lucky as a comedian that I can use my face to make people laugh,” she said in an interview with the Hankyoreh newspaper, according to Rappler.
