A Letter to Zio

Dear Oh Ji Ho Shi,

No one can fully understand what you are going through right now. Yet, we who care about you as an actor and as a human being are sympathetic and worried about your well-being.

Personally, I feel deep sorrow that your beloved friend was so trapped in what must have felt like a hopeless position. I wish her life on earth could have been happier. I do think that for her, you were a bright beam of joy. Someone who experiences love is very fortunate. She was fortunate to have loved and been loved…no matter how brief. That she felt compelled to end her life is tragic…but it was her choice, alone. Do not allow yourself to sink into guilt and depression.

I know that God loves her and has made a place for her in heaven.

For you, do what you do best…be focused, strive for joy and happiness, rely on your quiet humble strength and take deep breaths. Remember, the acute pain and sensationalism will pass. I pray that what does remain is the memory of love that allows you to love again.

May the God of your understanding hold you in blessings and light.

C. Chun
