Jeong Da-bin

Jeong Da-bin (March 4, 1980 – February 10, 2007) was a South Korean actress. Best known for the popular television series Rooftop Room Cat, she committed suicide in 2007 at the age of 26.

Career

Born Jeong Hye-sun in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, she studied Theater and Film at Dongguk University. Using the stage name Jeong Da-bin, she made her acting debut in 2000 in The Legend of Gingko. This was followed by minor and supporting roles in television dramas, and as part of the ensemble cast in the sitcom Nonstop.

In 2003, Jeong and her costar Kim Rae-won rose to fame with Rooftop Room Cat (also known as Attic Cat or Cat on the Roof). Depicting a boy and a girl platonically living together then falling in love (with cohabitation at the time a taboo topic in the Korean mainstream), the series was a smash hit, especially popular among teenagers and twentysomethings.

Jeong became known for her cheerful and positive image, and in 2004 she headlined her first film, the romantic comedy He Was Cool opposite Song Seung-heon, based on the internet novel by Guiyeoni. She then returned to television, starring with Yoon Kye-sang in My 19 Year Old Sister-in-Law. Her last project would be That Summer's Typhoon with Han Ye-seul, which didn't do well in the ratings in 2005.
