Another K-pop star, Goo Hara, found dead at 28

South Korean K-pop star Goo Hara was found dead in her home in Seoul on Sunday, saddening fans of the 28-year-old musician and actress around the world.

Police say the cause of death is under investigation, and have not yet filed an official report about her passing.

Goo was hospitalized in May after what has been reported as an alleged suicide attempt. Last year, she was involved in a high-profile legal battle with an ex-boyfriend who she claimed had threatened her with revenge porn. The case was covered closely by the tabloid press and resulted in harsh public criticism directed at Goo online.

Goo was a former member of the enormously popular K-pop group Kara, one of the first such groups to break through to international audiences.

Her death comes a little more than a month after the suspected death by suicide of 25-year-old K-pop star Sulli, who was a close friend of Goo’s.

On Saturday she posted a photo of herself on Instagram lying in bed with the caption “good night.”
