Choi Jin-sil killed herself at the age of 39, after struggling with depression for years. The actress’ younger brother Choi Jin-young, who was also an actor and singer, suffered depression after his sister’s death and took his own life in 2010.

In 2013, Choi Jin-sil’s ex-husband, former top baseball player Cho Sung-min, also died by suicide, leaving their daughter Choi Jun-hee and son Choi Hwan-hee in the care of relatives.
