it’s really sadness….. unbelievable …. i’m really shocked when i know that Park Yong Ha was dead. I can’t say anything …………
I only can say this message : …. for everybody …. artist or not artist, if you have something problem… trouble… something wrong with your life… that you can’t handle that…. just remember that GOD CAN HELP YOU, just Pray in Faith and GOD Will answered … he will help you to handle any problem ….., or you can share with your family, friend, or anybody who you trusted…. Just Don’t do the wrong way (suicide) cause God doesn’t like that way, and you will never see the HEAVEN if you do that….
Remember GOD LOVE YOU and GOD NEVER LEAVE YOU…. FOREVER
