Various suspicions were also raised over the sudden death of Jang Kook-young, a former Hong Kong star. Before jumping from the hotel, Jang Kook-young said, "I knew a young man in his 20s. It's very painful because I don't know who to choose between him and Tangtang. That's why I'm trying to end my life."
