Kim Ji-Who Has is the latest Korean movie star to reportedly commit suicide in the country.
Last week, 39-year-old Choi Jin-Sil, known as Korea's answer to Meg Ryan, hanged herself in her apartment.
Her death was rumoured to have been caused by suggestions that she played a role in the suicide of Ahn Jee-Hwan in September. Jang Chae-Won's death was also reported to have been a suicide.
23-year-old Kim Ji-Who Has had reportedly suffered from depression due to a backlash over his recent admission that he was homosexual.
"Given the note and testimony from his family members, we believe he apparently committed suicide," read a police statement.
