Song Jae Rim makes a good impression with his radiant smile.
On the evening of November 13, Nate reported that information was spreading on Korean social networks that Song Jae Rim was allegedly attacked by a crazy Japanese fan (temporarily called A) for a long time.
This person is said to have followed the social media account and continuously made malicious slanderous comments about Song Jae Rim such as: “He gave fans’ gifts to others” and “Can you hide your true nature with acting?”.
A is also said to have crossed the line by spreading the actor’s personal information without Song Jae Rim’s permission.
“After Song Jae Rim passed away, the audience continuously criticized A for his past actions. Although the connection between Song Jae Rim’s passing and A’s offensive actions has not been determined, public opinion believes that sanctions are needed to prevent the invasion of privacy and the obsession with harassment of stars,” commented Nate.
Also on November 13, Song Jae Rim’s funeral was held at Yeouido St. Mary’s Hospital Funeral Home, Seoul, South Korea. It is known that his relatives held a small funeral within the family.
