SEOUL, South Korea — A popular South Korean actor and singer killed himself Wednesday in distress over career pressures while caring for his terminally ill father, police said, the latest in a string of high-profile suicides in the Asian country.
Park Yong-ha, 33, is believed to have "impulsively" hanged himself with the electric cord of his camcorder at his Seoul home hours after he came home intoxicated, Seoul's Gangnam Police Station said in a statement.
"We have determined that it's obvious he killed himself," the statement said.
No suicide note was found and Park didn't have medical problems such as depression or money troubles, it said. Police, however, said Park had been under stress because he had to juggle management of his entertainment company and his career while his father was fighting stomach cancer.
"I must be sick instead of you, father. I'm sorry. I'm sorry," the police statement quoted Park as tearfully telling his father before his mother later found the entertainer dead in his room.
Park also told acquaintances earlier this week that his work was "difficult and this kind of life is so hard."
The actor had been faithfully nursing his 62-year-old father and had been taking sleeping pills due to insomnia, an official at Seoul Metropolitan Agency said, citing Park's mother.
Park debuted in the late 1990s and starred in the 2002 television drama "Winter Sonata," which drummed up a following in Japan and Southeast Asia. He held several concerts in Japan and released eight CD albums there. One of his fans was said to be Japan's former first lady, Akie Abe.

Things have REALLY started now that Spoiler [+] Dae-Sung has passed away and we see the Spoiler [+] wicked stepmother surface. UNREAL. This lady may be the meanest and most vile character ever on a television set. I thought that belonged to Gu Jun Pyo's mother, but this bitch?! OMFG. No wonder you needed PT while you watched this. This is slit your wrist material. You hate every character at least once an episode. It's so complex. It really takes a lot out of you, and that's what makes it SO GOOD. No wonder the ratings were through the roof!
