Messages Left Behind: Life's Pain and Philosophy
Text messages that actor Jung Eun-woo left with acquaintances before his death have been released, revealing his state of mind. According to messages disclosed by designer Hwang Young-long on the 11th, Jung Eun-woo honestly expressed his feelings about betrayal and hurt experienced in social life. He recalled, "There are many liars in the world and many con artists," and "I experienced foolish things at the broadcasting station," showing deep skepticism about wounds received in human relationships.
Particularly expressing his feelings about the emptiness of human relationships as "It's really dirty. Why do they live like that," Jung Eun-woo simultaneously showed his will not to lose hope. He said, "Still, I will try to trust (people)," showing a positive mindset, and argued, "The words 'hang in there' and 'be strong' are lies. Enduring is ultimately winning." This contains not merely encouragement, but his own philosophy of life that acknowledges the pain of reality while enduring it is victory.
Scathing Reflection on Human Relationships and Advice
Jung Eun-woo's messages also reveal deep disappointment in male relationships. He mentioned specific experiences of betrayal, saying, "I tried to endure with someone else's strength, but after getting stabbed in the back four times, I realized I can't do that," and expressed how people he had been like brothers with for over 10 years did not keep their loyalty. This expression shows how deep the wounds were that he received from people he had trusted over a long period.
However, Jung Eun-woo gained insight into the essence of life amid his pain. His words, "Good living seems to be about communication, not having lots of money," emphasize the value of human connection and dialogue over material success. Colleague Hwang Young-long expressed guilt and gratitude toward his messages, saying, "I should have answered his call, I should have paid more attention. I'm truly sorry and grateful."
Last SNS Post: A Meaningful Message
One day before his death was announced on the 11th, Jung Eun-woo posted something meaningful on SNS. He uploaded a post with the text "Missing, Envious, Regretful" alongside photos of Hong Kong actor Leslie Cheung (deceased), British singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse (deceased), and himself. Leslie Cheung ended his life by jumping from a Hong Kong hotel in 2003 at age 47, and Amy Winehouse died suddenly in 2011 at the young age of 27. Jung Eun-woo expressing himself alongside these two figures sparked much speculation among people.
More notably, Jung Eun-woo included the phrase "PIR.BG" in the post. An acquaintance who knew Jung Eun-woo in life suggested that this might be "'GB.RIP (Goodbye Rest In Peace)' written backwards." If this interpretation is correct, there may have been an intention to say goodbye in his final post. Tragically, Jung Eun-woo's last SNS profile photo was later used as his portrait photo.
