mola Oct 23 2020 11:58 pm I just watched Singles and very interested with the lead character because i havent seen her anywhere in drama or movie. Turns out she already passed away in 2009 :( so sad she was very pretty and funny.

Emmanuel Apr 09 2017 12:01 pm So sad! May her soul rest in peace. Amen.

Lee Seo Hwa Mar 19 2017 7:31 am Maria julgeoman andwae...... ??? How could a talented girl have stomach cancer... Just don't get it! I was watching Lobbyist, I was hoping to see her more dramas but I did not realize she died!

Phemmy Feb 18 2015 5:19 am Jan Jin-young know now that you are dead makes me so sad. i thought i will be expecting more movies but not knowing that it has ended. a.k.a maria rest in peace

Mary Olamide Sep 25 2014 4:02 am I was very shocked yesterday when I learnt that Jang Jin-Young is dead. It's so painful and touching to realise that such a beautiful, talented and promising actress no longer exists in this world. Jang Jin-young, even though we've never met nor am I a Korean, I want 2 believe you are in a better place and also that only God knows best. I completed the 'Lobbyist' series yesterday (or better still in the early hours of today), and the drama was just so intriguing that I felt I should browse on it in order 2 learn more about the drama. That was how I got 2 know about Jang Jin-Young(Maria Yoo Lobbyist)'s demise. I felt so bad that I had 2 browse on 'stomach cancer' because I don't really know much about it compared 2 breast cancer which is more common. Jang Jin-young, I love you, but I believe God Loves you more. Continue to rest in perfect peace.
