Actor Song Jae Rim tragically passed away on November 12th at the age of 39. Following his unexpected death, outrage has sparked after a Japanese fan, who had been stalking and harassing the actor, came under fire.

Sources report that the fan, who had been posting private pictures of Song Jae Rim and his friends on social media, had been defaming them out of jealousy. Some of these photos were illegally taken.

The fan was not just a regular online critic, but a "sasaeng fan"—someone who invades a celebrity’s personal life. They had been monitoring Song Jae Rim’s daily activities and sharing private moments without his consent.

Until recently, this malicious fan's X (formerly Twitter) account was filled with unedited photos of Song Jae Rim, his close friends, and their families.

The posts included hurtful messages like "Did the gifts from fans become a post dedicated to ○○?" and "Can you hide your vile nature with your acting skills?" All of this was written in a mix of Japanese.

After the shocking news of Song Jae Rim's passing, online anger grew as the fan’s past behavior came to light.

While it’s not clear if the stalker directly contributed to the actor's death, the fan’s harassment added to the emotional burden. Faced with public backlash, the fan deleted their account and has remained silent since.

Police confirmed that Song Jae Rim was found dead around 12:30 PM on November 12th at his home in Seoul. A close friend, who was supposed to meet him for lunch, discovered the tragic scene and contacted the authorities.

The funeral for Song Jae Rim is taking place at the Yeouido St. Mary’s Hospital Funeral Hall, with the burial scheduled for 12 PM on November 14th.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
