Jang was known to be suffering from depression that probably triggered from her parent’s death in a car accident ten years back and was getting treated medically over the last year. She was 29 years of age at that time and was about to make her big-screen debut with anticipated release of her first two films ‘Penthouse Elephant’ and ‘They Are Coming’. This budding star was found hanging from the stairway banister of her home in the Bundang district of Seongnam, Gyeonggi province, on March 7, 2009.

The public must be able to regain confidence in the police.Jang Ja-yeon was a promising South Korean actress best known for her only KBS television drama series ‘Boys Over Flowers’. People who had been taking advantage of Kim's absence to slander others should also be held responsible. This will prevent rumors and defamatory comments involving the so-called "Jang Ja-yeon list" from hurting more people. Police must waste no time in bringing Kim back to Korea and investigating him so that the reason behind Jang's suicide and the practices of exploiting actresses are brought to light. Among those who also demanded the investigation was a group involved in a renewed movement to threaten advertisers to pull ads from this newspaper. Two opposition party lawmakers, who used their immunity and revealed the names of Chosun Ilbo managers in the National Assembly and on live television, even held press conferences in parliament in May defaming this newspaper while demanding an independent counsel investigate Jang's suicide. After comparing the movements of that executive with accounts from witnesses, police said the executive had never met Jang.īut people with ulterior motives who want to slander Chosun Ilbo managers and the newspaper itself have continued to claim that the police announcement was made under pressure from influential figures. After comparing 50,000 records of calls made using three phones each owned by Kim and Jang over the past year, police said they were able to confirm that there was not a single call made between a particular executive at the Chosun Ilbo and the two. Police have already searched 27 locations, including Kim's house and office, and confiscated 842 pieces of material including accounting records, 140,000 phone records and surveillance camera footage. Police must check which influential people received what type of service from Kim and which were mistakenly implicated in the rumors. We will soon find out whether Jang wrote the document herself and why she killed herself. Police will be able to find out a lot simply by questioning Kim, who is also accused of taking money from Jang and physically assaulting her, and Jang's former manager, Yoo Jang-ho, who revealed a document containing those allegations. Now that Kim has been arrested, the obstacles have been removed. Police announced the interim results of their investigation on April 24 but were unable to find out who had driven Jang to suicide. The names of people who had never even met Jang or Kim were put on that list, and they experienced tremendous damage to their reputation.
But while police wasted time complaining that it was impossible to bring him back from Japan, where he had been hiding, an unsubstantiated list of influential figures suspected of having slept with Jang spread through the Internet, creating rumors and suspicion. Kim is a key figure in the investigation into Jang's suicide.
Kim is expected to be handed over to Korea within a week if Japan deports him.
Identified as Kim, the CEO is wanted by law enforcement authorities on suspicion of pimping the actress to influential figures before her suicide in March. The head of actress Jang Ja-yeon's management agency was arrested by police in Japan on Wednesday.
