Renowned Yale University psychiatry professor Na Jong Ho expressed deep sorrow over the tragic passing of actress Kim Sae Ron, aged just 25. In a heartfelt Facebook post on February 17, Professor Na condemned society's unforgiving nature towards individuals, drawing a chilling comparison to the popular series 'Squid Game.'
"Drunken driving is inexcusable, but a society that extinguishes lives without allowing room for redemption is fundamentally unwell. The rapid disposal of those who stumble and fail, moving forward as though they never existed, paints a grim picture reminiscent of a real-life 'Squid Game'," he lamented.
With poignant anguish, he remarked, "Kim Sae Ron's untimely demise seems like a tragic push towards the abyss. Reports revealing her struggles, forced to take on part-time work due to financial woes, flooded by hurtful remarks in the café where she worked, paint a bleak picture. How many more must we lose before we halt the relentless onslaught of soul-crushing shame? It is imperative that we engage in open dialogue and introspection at this critical juncture."
Professor Na surged into the spotlight following his appearance on the popular tvN show 'You Quiz on the Block' in 2023.
