The story went viral and shocked internet users.
A tragic accident occurred in Busan, South Korea, where a woman died after falling from the 20th floor of an apartment building, just months before her wedding. The last person to see her alive was her fiancé.
The woman, identified as Sujeong (a pseudonym), was supposed to get married in March next year. Her sudden death left her family in shock and disbelief, especially since there was no suicide note.
Her father, devastated by the news, questioned the possibility of suicide, saying his daughter was strong, independent and had a successful career. She worked in various fields, including home shopping and teaching Pilates, and ran a popular blog.
There is no way this could have happened. She was not the type to commit suicide. She was strong-willed, managed her life well, worked in home business, as a Pilates instructor, and even ran a powerful blog.

Her younger sister also expressed frustration, noting that Sujeong was doing well in life and planning for her future, making it hard to believe that she would take such drastic action just before her wedding. Her sister even wondered why her fiancé didn’t act more quickly to prevent the tragedy.
He worked hard, he earned money. How could it be suicide? Especially when he was about to get married.
She wasn’t ill or mentally unstable, so it’s strange that he just witnessed all of this.

The only witness to the accident was her boyfriend, Mr. Kang. He said the two had an argument before the fall. According to her account, Sujeong said she went out to meet her friends after the argument.
He tried to stop her by grabbing her wrist, but she pulled away. She then ran to the balcony and briefly grabbed the railing as she fell. Despite his efforts, Kang was unable to save her.
She said, “I’m upset about the argument, so I’m going out to meet my friends,” something like that. I told her she shouldn’t go out looking like that, after an argument.
I grabbed her wrist, but she shook it off and said, “That’s what you wanted, isn’t it?” Then she went to the balcony. As she fell, she grabbed the railing. I rushed to try to catch her, but I couldn’t.

This heartbreaking case continues to raise questions as the investigation into the incident continues.
