I’m truly at a loss for words. Every K-ent suicide from the first that I covered as a blogger (that would be Park Yong Ha in 2010) to the latest with Sulli last month in October, has always been difficult to process. Every time I wonder if that person could have been saved, and then if they were saved before would they try again. K-ent’s weekend was shattered with the news that 28 year old idol-singer Goo Hara was found deceased in her home. The cause is likely suicide, and earlier this year she reportedly tried to kill herself after the scandal with domestic violence and revenge porn threats with her now ex-boyfriend. So people around her did know that she was suffering, she was saved before, but still she chose a final ending and leaves behind family, friends, and fans grieving. I hope she is no longer in pain and in a better place, rest in peace to this beautiful young star.
Goo Hara’s last Instagram past was the day before her passing where she posted a picture of herself in bed captioned “Good Night”.

RIP :(
I can't believe it... Sully is just gone. Now Goo Hara! It's hard to process how devastated someone must be to go before their time. And why there were no lucky circumstances to save her again. I hope she rests in peace.
Unfortunately,netizens won't learn, they kept talking bad about people and justifying it because it's the price they have to pay because they are famous. It's incredible!! I don't know how many more would die for them to stop.
Young and beautiful but why?
Why has this become the norm for k entertainment? Things need to change!
must be very painful to live by attempting to commit suicide twice (or more that was not made public). sometimes I wonder if life would be more worth living if she never signed up as an idol at a very young age. Girl group Kara was so popular in Japan back then and I watched her singing & dancing on the most popular Japanese shows all the time. Sad!
It's disheartening that a very young and beautiful girl like her had to settle for suicide.. I've always said it that all the abuses that comes from the k-neitizens to these stars are wrong. Even if they are wrong, it's their personal life let them deal with it, we are all humans and we are allowed to make mistakes. Pls cyber bullying is real and you might be doing it without realizing it, pls everyone including me should stop we can save a life by doing so. Lastly, *suicide is never the answer* we all go through stuffs but suicide is wrong and this is so rampant in South Korea, I think their need to do something about this.
*Government
Is it really worth it to be idols? Behind fame, money, popularity are years of tears, restrictions, depression, loneliness and load of harsh training, hard works, and on top of that, dealing with cyber bullies.
May you Rest In Peace.
Whole day today all I am thinking is “ who is next”. I don’t know what’s going on. It’s heartbreaking. Why it’s happening? Gosh I am sad. Go Hara of Kara Please Rest In Peace and be happy. Sorry As a fan we couldn’t do anything.
Korea and Korean entertainment Please do something about Mental health.
This is so sad. Rest in Peace to zhoo Hara. I first saw the news on CNN news this morning. She was the one who resembled Namie Amuro and I thought she would be famous and have a good career just like Namie did. She was beautiful and young, I dont understand.
I hope South Korea would put in place more protections for kids who start out in the Entertainment business.
*Goo Hara not Zhoo...autocorrect....
Korea has got to de-stigmatize talking about mental health. When creating a group, these entertainment companies need to have counselors at hand for these young people. Was a fan of KARA so this was devastating news. RIP Hara, I hope you are finally at peace. <3
I can't believe Park Yong Ha's death was almost 10 years ago. I can still remember it and remember So Ji Sub's heartbreaking face carrying his picture.
