Imbley, I'm sorry for being a shameful mother who died during a live broadcast, leaving only two daughters and the second anniversary of tears



The second cycle of BJ Imbley (Im Ji-hye), who sadly passed away after a drinking dispute with a fellow BJ, has returned. He was 37.

In 2023, Imbley's personal account received news of the deceased's obituary.

At that time, Imbley said "Im Ji-hye has passed away, so I would like to inform you of the obituary as follows"I hope you will widely appreciate that I can't contact you one by one with my bewildered heart."




Before his death, Imbley called BJs active in Bucheon to attend a drinking broadcast, and many BJs, including the host, talked together.

However, Imbley, who got into a verbal fight with his fellow BJ during the broadcast, even got into a physical fight, such as throwing his cell phone, and the police were dispatched.

Eventually, Imbley returned home and turned on the live broadcast, confessing that it was hard to hold on anymore.




Then I told my two daughters "My dear girls, I'm sorry for being a shameful mother, I hope you don't feel guilty because you're not at fault. I promise I'll always stand by you even if I can't see you,' he wrote in a suicide note.

Since then, Imbley has disappeared off-camera, and about 119 paramedics have appeared and spoken urgently, leading to a flurry of testimonies that the broadcast has ended.

Imbley was taken to a hospital, but news broke that he was brain dead and eventually failed to regain consciousness.

Gu Ji-sung, a colleague at the time, is a senior member of Lim Ji-hye (Imvely). I'm not close to her, but as a senior, I feel really bad. I'm also heartbroken because I'm a mother who has a daughter who is more precious than myself in this world. A junior who only saw her in a glamorous and pretty way. Finally, I still remember lying unconscious in the hospital room. I heard that the bereaved families want investigation and punishment. If there are people who will be punished for a detailed investigation, please have a chance to reflect on yourself", he lamented.

Meanwhile, Imbley debuted as a Maxim pictorial model in 2006 and has been a round player for the Seoul Motor Show and road FC since 2013.

He then retired after getting married in 2014, and has been active as an Internet broadcaster since then. I was raising two daughters at the time after my divorce in 2018.
