In particular, after the rumors of his death by suicide were revealed, rumors and speculations surrounding the deceased quickly spread, and the bereaved family is taking action to directly respond and set the facts straight.
In this article, we have compiled the reason for Dashu Kim Jong-seok's suicide, his SNS activities just before his death, the bereaved family's official statement, and the contents of the announced recording.
1. Dashu Kim Jong-seok's suicide, where did the rumor start?
Kim Jong-seok's death was announced on June 5, 2025. The sad news was spread through social media with condolences from acquaintances.
Afterwards, some communities began to speculate about Kim Jong-seok and the suicide incident reported on the same day, and comments continued to be made that took this as a given. As a result, the rumor of 'death by suicide' spread quickly, and the bereaved family suffered greatly.

Kim Jong-seok's older sister took to SNS to reveal her long stance and block the rumors. She emphasized the following points:

3. What was the reason for Dashu Kim Jong-seok's suicide?
After Kim Jong-seok's death, provocative rumors spread online, such as "He went to his girlfriend's house while drunk, caused a commotion, and then jumped to his death when the police arrived."
However, the bereaved family officially revealed through Instagram that this was not true.
According to the bereaved family, when Kim Jong-seok was unable to contact his girlfriend at the time, he went to her house with a friend out of concern, and several acquaintances were present at the scene.
The act of breaking the soju bottle was done by a friend, not Kim Jong-seok, to stop the situation from getting more heated, and this was also the reason the police were dispatched.
The bereaved family also emphasized that the claim that he fled the scene is not true, and that all of these circumstances can be refuted with police recordings and messages and statements from those who were present at the scene.
4. Kim Jong-seok's economic and psychological pain, the background to his extreme choice
The family also pointed to 'investment fraud' as another key factor. Kim Jong-seok was defrauded by a trusted acquaintance and lost all his assets, and was left in debt.
He suffered a great psychological shock and was so exhausted that life itself became difficult, and it was this combined pressure that led to his extreme choice.
In other words, the argument that occurred on the scene that day was not the decisive factor, but rather the psychological fatigue and despair that had already accumulated seemed to have weighed on his judgment.
