Actor Song Jae-lim (39) has passed away, leaving the public in deep shock and mourning. The news of his death has been further compounded by revelations that he was a victim of continued harassment and doxxing by a Japanese sasaeng fan, identified as "A."

Reports indicate that Song Jae-lim had been subjected to malicious comments, threats, and persistent messages from this individual since April of this year. "A" allegedly mocked gifts sent to the actor by fans and posted defamatory remarks, such as, "Your acting skills cannot hide your vile nature." The harassment escalated to include unauthorized distribution of private photos of Song Jae-lim's family and close acquaintances, raising concerns about severe privacy violations.

The actions of this sasaeng fan have only fueled anger among Song Jae-lim's supporters following his passing. Fans swarmed to "A's" social media account to express their outrage, ultimately leading "A" to close their account. While no direct link has been confirmed between the fan's harassment and Song Jae-lim's passing, fans and the public are demanding moral accountability.

On the 12th, Song Jae-lim was found deceased at his residence in Seoul's Seongdong-gu. Police discovered a suicide note at the scene and, considering the actor had a scheduled meeting with a friend, have preliminarily ruled out foul play. His sudden passing at such a young age has left fans and the entertainment industry in a state of profound sorrow and disbelief.

Born in 1985, Song Jae-lim began his career as a model before transitioning to acting with the 2009 film "Actresses." He steadily built his reputation with roles in dramas such as "Secret Garden," "Flower Boy Ramen Shop," and "Moon Embracing the Sun," earning accolades for his versatility across both historical and modern dramas. His dedication and passion for acting made him a well-respected figure in the entertainment industry.

Song Jae-lim's wake is being held at the Catholic University of Korea St. Mary's Hospital in Yeouido, with the funeral set for noon on the 14th. Fans have been paying their respects and are calling for a thorough investigation into the potential impact of the sasaeng fan's harassment on his tragic end.

His death has brought renewed attention to the harmful behavior of obsessive fans in the entertainment industry and the serious issue of privacy invasion. As fans mourn Song Jae-lim, many hope that this tragedy will serve as a wake-up call and lead to stricter measures against such invasive conduct, ultimately fostering a safer environment for public figures. May he rest in peace.
