Five years have passed since Goo Hara, a member of the group KARA, passed away, yet the longing of her fans and colleagues remains deep. On November 24, 2019, Goo Hara was found dead at her residence in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and her death left many in shock.
Prior to her death, Goo Hara successfully completed her solo nationwide tour ‘Midnight Queen’ in Japan. At her final performance, she tearfully told her fans, “I will show you how I grow so as not to disappoint you.” Her sincere love for the stage and connection with her fans remained unchanged at that moment.
Debuting with KARA in 2008, Goo Hara received immense love from domestic and international fans through numerous hit songs like ‘Mister’, ‘Pretty Girl’, ‘Honey’, and ‘Mamma Mia’. She also stood out as an actress in dramas like ‘City Hunter’ and ‘Footstep Sound’. From 2016, she gained significant popularity as a solo artist, focusing on activities in Japan.
During her lifetime, Goo Hara suffered greatly from an assault and threat incident with her ex-boyfriend. She brought the ‘revenge porn’ controversy to light by exposing her ex’s threats. The incident caused a significant social impact, and her ex was sentenced to one year in prison.
After Goo Hara’s death, her brother worked hard to legislate the ‘Goo Hara Act’, strengthening parental obligations. In August of this year, the bill was passed by the National Assembly, carrying on her legacy as a legal system.
KARA resumed full-group activities in 2022 to commemorate the 15th anniversary of their debut and to honor her memory. In August this year, they held a solo concert ‘KARASIA’ in Japan for the first time in about nine years, celebrating their 17th anniversary. On stage, the song ‘HELLO’, featuring her voice, resonated, and the sight of six microphones still set for the members moved the fans deeply.
Goo Hara’s Instagram account has been turned into a ‘memorial account’, continuing to receive love and longing from fans. The music and memories she left behind still live on in many hearts, and KARA and their fans remember her with unwavering love. Her music and story will continue to resonate with fans around the world.
