KARA's Han Seungyeon recently shared heartfelt memories of a happy day spent with the late Goo Hara.
On June 22nd, SBS’s “Unanswered Questions” delved into the mystery surrounding the theft of Goo Hara’s safe and the suspect captured on CCTV.
Han Seungyeon reminisced about their special bond, saying, “We called Hara ‘Ppeppong’ because she was very slim, and I was ‘Jjoppong’ because I was small. It was our little joke.”
The show also featured footage of Goo Hara’s time in the entertainment industry with KARA. The group was the first Korean female group to hold a solo concert at the Tokyo Dome.
Reflecting on this milestone, Han Seungyeon said, “It was such an exciting day. It was a top 3 moment in all our lives. We were very worried, but the tickets sold out as soon as they went on sale, making it a truly happy moment.”
After KARA disbanded, Goo Hara continued her career in Japan but tragically passed away after returning to Korea briefly. Her sudden death shocked fans, especially since she had been actively communicating with them.
During the interview, Han Seungyeon became emotional, recalling a special day they shared. “There was a day when we were both very stressed, and we went to a nearby beach. We played games, bought a lot of fireworks, played baseball games, and ate together. It was my first time doing that, and it was such a good day for me. I wish I could have just one more day like that.”
Goo Hara was found dead at her home in Seoul, on November 24, 2019. The day after the 49-day memorial service for Goo Hara, on January 14, 2020, a man stole a personal safe from her residence.
The police identified the suspect as someone who knew Goo Hara personally, but the thief has not been caught yet.
