M.Street frontman Lee Seo Hyun was found dead December 1st from an apparent suicide. Lee was found hanging from the neck in a practice studio with a suicide note near his body.
In this letter Lee Seo Hyun apologized to the people his suicide will inevitably hurt, including members of his church, his parents and loved ones. Once again, money seems to have fueled this decision as Lee had made investments that had gone sour due to the ailing global economy.
Lee Seo Hyun was only thirty when he took his life, may he rest in peace and condolences to his family and friends.

wow… another suicide
Who is he?
WHY THE HECK ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SUICIDING THIS YEAR?
Oh crap again? =/
rest in peace.
He apologized to his church members? I guess he’s another Christian celebrity that committed suicide this year. Don’t they tell you in church these days that if you commit suicide you go to hell and you don’t rest in peace?
oh no..
RIP
Aww…I thought the continuous suicides stopped…Poor him. RIP. Who is he by the way?
rip.
but the suicidies are getting out of control.
& he’s christian? that doesn’t make sense. i agree with ellina. =/
wow whats happening to korea entertainment world ?
only stupid people takes it’s own life in times like crisis,
I don’t know who he is but I’m sad….Wats wid the celebs in Korea?? I hope they can be more sensible….
oh…when I first saw the title, I thought it was Lee Seo Hyun the business tycoon… the really rich one >_<
man, I liked M.Street … they were very soulful
“Don’t they tell you in church these days that if you commit suicide you go to hell and you don’t rest in peace?”
They do, and you’re absolutely right that most Christian sects consider suicide a sin, but it should be kept in mind that this guy was probably suffering from some severe depression, and when someone’s that depressed they feel like they’re already in Hell or that they deserve to be in Hell.
R.I.P.
it says a lot about his church community, if he feared they’d turn against him over lost money, rather than console him for crisis & depression.

even if i don’t know this guy, this news is just saddening.
i thought this whole suicide trend in korea stopped already.
Godbless his soul.
I hope he’ll rest in peace.
But seriously, all these celebrity suicides might encourage teens to go ahead and do it =/ It’s not really a good influence…
Nonetheless, R.I.P
whoa another one
I read also that he had recently come out of the closet and was being harrased, my prayers are with his family.
oh no not again. money shouldn’t be an issue. there’s always a solution. so sad. may he rest in peace.
Wow that was a bit of a reach with the whole church community comment. I think he just ask for thier forgivness incase they were hurt by him taking his life.
I hope that his soul R.I.P.
^ a reach for some communities, not for others. not everyone acts in the image of their worshiped, esp. in a collective.
And the year 2008 was almost over and i thought this “trend” was already done.
lets all hope for the better in 2009.
RIP Lee Seo Hyun.
RIP Lee Seo Hyun
Korea has the highest suicide rate of all industrialized countries. I’m not sure why people are surprised.
