As news of the untimely death of South Korean supermodel Daul Kim spreads, police are trying to narrow down an accurate cause of death for 20 year-old Kim.
Daul Kim was found hanged in her Paris apartment Thursday by her boyfriend, who alerted French police. With the discovery of Kim’s recent blog posts, police officials told the AP they were working under the hypothesis that Kim committed suicide.
In an Oct. 30 entry on her blog, Kim wrote she was “mad depressed and overworked,” and in another entry said “the more i gain the more lonely it is … i know i’m like a ghost.”
The last entry on her blog, dated Nov. 18, was titled “say hi to forever” and carried a video of the song “I Go Deep” by British singer Jim Rivers.
The AP noted that South Korea has the highest suicide rate among the 30 nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and over the past year has had a string of high-profile suicides.
Former President Roh Moo-hyun jumped to his death in May while embroiled in a widening corruption scandal and the ex-chairman of South Korea’s oldest conglomerate killed himself earlier this month. In 2008, top actress Choi Jin-sil committed suicide, following in the footsteps of a fellow actor. A young actress in one of South Korea’s popular soap operas also died by suicide.

Beyoncé
Are they jeans? Leggings?
Nope - they’re one of the latest trends in women’s bottoms - jeggings.
With the look of denim but the feel of leggings, jeggings are super versatile and comfortable pieces.
Top them off with a long tee or sweater and get that casual denim look, but with all the comfort stretchy leggings provide.
As with most denim these days, you can also dress them up like Beyoncé does above, with a blazer and sexy high heels.
