Twenty-three years after the late Hong Kong actor Zhang Guoyoung died like a lie, new claims surrounding his death were raised.

Ahead of Jang's 69th birthday (Sept. 12) last year, his close acquaintance and Hong Kong filmmaker Tiffany Chen revealed the details of the call he had about an hour before his death.

He released an interview video through Xiaohongshu, dubbed China's Instagram, and said, "I suffered from guilt for 22 years because of the secret of the Jang Kook-young death case."

Tiffany Chen said of the situation at the time, "He called and said, 'Can you help me with the press conference?' So when I asked 'what do you want to say?' he recalled, 'I want you to stay with me to let everyone know that I'm not sick and I don't have depression.' He added, "We finished the call after the employee said he would contact us about the press conference."

He also said that Jang was scheduled to be the director of the film before his death, but the film project was canceled due to funding problems. "I was very upset because it was a piece he had been preparing for a long time, but I don't think it was a situation where he was going to make that extreme choice," Tiffany Chen said.

"He wasn't just a depression, I think. Something was bothering him, he said. "If it was because of depression, I wouldn't have chosen to jump out of the building."

He also claimed that Jang Kook-young was experiencing a supernatural phenomenon while he was alive. Tiffany Chen said, "I heard from an acquaintance that Jang Kook-young often felt something pulling her while sleeping." However, he added, "His partner was a Christian and did not believe in this phenomenon."

In addition, he said, "There was actually a way to help Jang Kook-young, but his partner stopped contacting him for about half a year," adding, "I still regret not helping him at the time."

Meanwhile, the late Jang Kook-young died on April 1, 2003. At the age of 47, Jang Kook-young died at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong.
