K-pop star Goo Hara dead at 28, reports say


K-pop star Goo Hara has been found dead in her home just six months after an alleged suicide attempt, according to reports.

Local reports said that according to the Seoul Gangnam Police Station, the 28-year-old former member of the group Kara was found lifeless at her home in the Cheongdam neighborhood of Seoul on November 24, 6 p.m. KST (5 p.m., PHL time).

The cause of death has not yet been confirmed.

Last May, the K-pop star reportedly attempted to take her own life and was found unconscious by her manager at her home.

Her death comes a month after her friend and fellow K-pop star, Sulli, was found dead in a house in Gangnam.
