South Korean pop singer U-Nee commits suicide

South Korean actress and pop singer U-Nee was found hanging dead in her home in Seo-gu Incheon on Sunday.

U-Nee's grandmother found the 26-year-old singer hanging from a door frame after she returned from a church service.

Police investigating the case have announced it was an apparent suicide, though the singer left no note or will. U-Nee's mother has testified that U-Nee had been suffering from depression.

U-Nee's third album Honey is due for release on February 1. People have speculated that U-Nee was suffering from the huge pressure associated with the release of the new album and was upset by online criticisms and attacks.

U-Nee's debut album Go was released in 2003 and she gained even greater popularity with the 2005 release of her second album Call Call Call. Her sexy dance moves and revealing fashions made her the favorite of teenagers across Asia.
