Goo Hara took to her Instagram and shared a message saying good night to her fans only to be discovered dead the next morning. Her close friends, family, and colleagues gathered at the funeral to pay their respects. Her colleagues were seen at the ceremony.
In the month of May, she had attempted suicide as she was cyberbullied and she is said to have no been able to take the bad things the people said to her. She was doing well and had come back from a successful gig from Japan. She was in Japan from November 14 to 19. She also launched her new single after her recovering.
She had openly spoken out against cyberbullying. The people attacked her, and after a few days after her initiative, she was hospitalised. She also pleaded fans for more positive social media comments. But then she reportedly faced the intense pressures of the limelight in the controversial industry, causing her misery. Similarly, last month, another K-pop star named Sulli who was just 25 was also found dead in her apartment as she was reportedly battling 'severe depression.'
