This study is a follow-up study to the preceding studies that argue religions work as a moderator regarding the stress and the suicidal thoughts of celebrities. The preceding studies showed that whether celebrities have religions or not had some significance in that religions worked as a protective and moderating factor. Nevertheless, the Korean society has seen that a large number of celebrities who took their own lives were actually Christian. This means more profound exploration into the question why some religiously devoted celebrities chose to take their own live, from the perspective of pastoral counseling. Thus, this study looks at some negative emotions experienced by Christian celebrities and at how these emotions do not get enough protection from the Christian religion, and in turn, develop into psychological maladjustment and later suicidal acts by studying literature and analyzing cases. Through this, this study makes some suggestions as to how Christianity today and the pastoral ministry of church can provide celebrities with some practical help in terms of counseling, while admitting that religions play an important role in understanding the psychology of celebrities and in providing a preventive factor to their suicidal acts.
