K-Pop icon Goo Hara has been found dead at home in Seoul.
Police in South Korea have confirmed the news, while the cause of death is still under investigation.
Goo Hara had been open about her experiences with mental health, and was hospitalised following a suspected suicide attempt six months ago.
Only 28 years old, she first gained prominence as a member of Kara in 2008, before releasing her debut solo EP in 2015.
Goo Hara's final Instagram post was posted a few hours before she was found – it reads simply 'Good Night'.
Goo Hara is the second K-Pop star believed to have taken their own life in 2019 – her peer Sulli was found dead at her home a few weeks ago.
