[TW/CW] Popular Korean streamer BJ Imvely attempts suicide during a live stream

AKP STAFF

[T/W C/W Trigger and Content Warning]

A popular female streamer BJ Imvely attempted to take her own life during a live stream.

On June 11, BJ Imvely was out drinking with her fellow streamers such as God Sungeun, Gam Seong Yeoul, and more. While having a karaoke and drinking session, BJ Imvely got into an argument with the other streamers and returned home heavily drunk.

Immediately upon reaching home, she initiated a live broadcast. During the stream, Imvely voiced her displeasure towards another particular streamer. Following her emotional outpouring, BJ Imvely unexpectedly transitioned into offering apologies and revealing the contents of her will to her viewers.

Through the will, she asked her ex-husband to take care of their children. Thereafter, Imvely moved off-camera, and the broadcast ended 20 minutes later as 119 paramedics entered Imvely's home.

A close acquaintance explained Imvely's health is in critical condition, as she has suffered two cardiac arrests. A YouTuber, quoting the words of this acquaintance, clarified that Imvely is presently reliant on an oxygen respirator to breathe, connected to her via a tube in her neck.

Meanwhile, Imvely debuted as a model in 2006. She was active as the grid girl at the Seoul Motor Show and Road FC starting in 2013.

The suicide rate in S.K is no joke. Something seriously needs to be done about mental health and society in general... I could never understand not thinking about the harm you'll do to people left behind especially your kids. Just thinking that your suicide can send them down a very dark path. Even the same dark choice you've made. How dark or sick you must be. It's truly sad.
