[Breaking] Top-tier star Park Hyunwoo falls to his death; cohabitant’s body discovered at home, dead for a month
Police confirmed that this morning, 29-year-old top-tier actor Park Hyunwoo was found dead after falling from a luxury apartment building in Seoul. After entering his residence, officers discovered the body of another man in the bedroom. He was identified as his cohabitant, Lee *geum, 25, who had been dead for over a month.
Police revealed that Lee *geum died by suicide after taking poison. Park Hyunwoo did not report his death after discovering the body. He lived with it for an entire month before jumping to his death.
The news sent shockwaves across the internet.
According to a source close to the two men who asked to remain anonymous, they appeared to have a professional relationship as an entertainer and his assistant, but had actually been together for years. Their relationship, however, was deeply unhealthy:
“Hyunwoo was terrifyingly controlling toward Seongeum. Seongeum wasn’t allowed to answer calls or see anyone. He was supposed to be an assistant, but he was tied to Hyunwoo’s side twenty-four hours a day. He wasn’t even allowed to go home.”
The source also said that Park Hyunwoo continued to refuse to accept that the other man was dead.
Police are still investigating.
