According to all available information, Jin had been struggling with depression for a long time. Some time before her act, she began publicly sharing depressive posts with suicidal themes on her Facebook. However, her call for help was not heard by anyone.
Her Facebook
If you ever see a similar post, give it the highest possible weight. It is better to be wrong than to let someone kill themselves. It is generally recommended to contact the person directly and speak to them openly and without prejudice, for example: “I saw your Facebook post and I am worried about you. Are you thinking about harming yourself?”
If you’re thinking about suicide, please stop and recognize that your pain is not permanent, but this step would be. It may feel like there’s no other way, but there is hope, even if it’s hard to see right now. Your feelings are temporary, and with help, they can pass.
Talking about what you're going through might feel difficult, but it’s the first step toward healing. Don’t turn away from the people who want to support you. Life can offer more than what you're feeling right now, and the pain doesn't have to last forever. You deserve help, and it’s available.
If you need immediate help, please contact a helpline.
