K-Pop artist Goo Hara found dead at home aged 28
Kara, her former band, were one of the first K-Pop groups to break through on the international stage. Goo’s first solo EP, released in 2015, peaked at number four in the Korean music charts.
She had signed with a talent management agency in Japan earlier this year and released a song named Midnight Queen earlier this month.
Over the last year her career was overshadowed by events in her life off the stage. In September 2018 Goo filed a lawsuit against an ex-boyfriend after he threatened to damage her career by exposing an illicit video of her.
Her former partner was given a suspended jail term in August for physically assaulting and blackmailing the star.
Goo’s death comes just over a month since another former K-Pop girl band member, Sulli, was also found dead in a suspected suicide after struggling with online bullying. The two celebrities were close friends and after Sulli’s death, Goo described their relationship as being “like sisters”.
