Young models committing suicide is not a new thing! Everywhere around the world we find these beauty queens ending their life voluntarily. This is sad and a big loss for the fashion industry! Daul Kim had that spark in her known for her quirky fun and personal style. Her home town was in Seol born in May 31,1989. She was just 20 years of age. She was found dead in an apartment in Paris.
Daul Kim’s agents have confirmed her death but thus far no official cause of death has been disclosed. However, a source tells New York Magazine that they believe that Daul Kim committed suicide.
Kim started modeling back in 2006, appearing in editorials for Korean Vogue. Kim worked with Vogue for most of her career. The most notable Vogue appearance was in January of 2009 when she impersonated fellow supermodel Linda Evangelista in a Korean Vogue editorial.
