Last October, K-pop singer Goo Hara took to Instagram and completely broke down. She was mourning the loss of fellow K-pop star Sulli, a former member of the wildly popular girl group f(x). Sulli had died by suicide, found the day before by her manager, no note left behind.
In her livestream, Hara's tear-stained face was swollen with grief. She didn't comment on the circumstances surrounding Sulli's death—instead, for three minutes, she spoke as if she were saying goodbye to her best friend. Her "sister." She apologized that she would have to miss the funeral because she was stuck out of the country for work.
Thousands of fans watched Hara's pain unfold in real time. They left broken-heart emoji in the comments and asked if she was okay. "I will live twice more diligently," Hara said. "Dear fans, I will be fine. Don't worry about me."
A little over a month later, Hara, too, would take her own life.
