It was confirmed that posts were still being uploaded to Shin Haeri’s social media up until three days before her death. In one of her last posts, she wrote, “Now that I’m losing weight, my face looks sharper… Should I cut my hair more or let it grow? I can’t decide.”
Following the news of her sudden passing, her social media has been flooded with messages of condolences, “We’ll miss you, dear,” “Lay down your heavy burdens and rest in peace,” and “May you soar freely in a better place.”
Shin Haeri gained recognition in 2012 after placing in the Miss Korea Gyeongsangnam-do preliminaries and worked as a racing model from 2014 to 2019.
