As news spread that BJ Pye (real name Kang Da-on), who appeared on 'Money Game' and 'Blood Game 2', was rushed to a hospital after attempting to take her own life due to despair over her situation, her father issued a direct statement.

On the 16th, Pye's father announced via an internet broadcasting platform: "Yesterday, Da-on consumed 30 packets of medication containing 20 sleeping pills along with antidepressants, antipsychotics, and sedatives—seven types in total—and also drank alcohol."

He continued, "It seems she made a poor choice due to the unfavorable court ruling yesterday. She is currently receiving treatment in the hospital's intensive care unit. She asks for your understanding and apologizes for causing worry. As her father, I will take good care of her by her side," conveying Pye's recent condition.

Previously, it was reported that Pye was deeply shocked when the defendant she sued in 2024 for alleged sexual harassment was acquitted in the first trial on the 15th.

Kerry Gonne, a friend of Pye and a rapper, revealed messages exchanged with Pye on her personal SNS on the 15th. According to the photos, Pye told Kerry Gonne: "Hey, I love you. Please take revenge on Jo XX for me. I beg you. I was truly victimized and am a victim. Please seek revenge on my behalf."

In response, Kerry Gonne expressed anger: "My friend BJ Pye has been suffering from lawsuits over a sexual harassment case for several years, and today the verdict came out—the perpetrator was acquitted. How unjust this is! She left these words before taking her own life. There are clear witnesses present at the scene and CCTV evidence, yet why does South Korea's law work like this? A country that forces you to dance with a knife even when you just want to live quietly. How can we resolve such injustice? Is this really a nation?"
