Goo Hara's passing shocked the online world and K-pop realm, yet her mother's alleged persistence to claim her wealth baffled the mob - and MBC's "True Story" took the leap to take her side of the story.
The late KARA member passed away in 2019, but a controversy arose on the aftermath of her death after her brother, Goo Ho In, made revelations about their absent mother, who is trying to claim half of the late idol's multitude of assets. At some point, he had to push "The Goo Hara Act" to press on the modification of the existing South Korean laws regarding the deceased and his or her estranged parents.
Netizens also raised their eyebrows to this matter, with heaps of online community members calling Hara's mother an opportunistic. Others feel sorry for the late star who suffered too much burden while she was still alive. It will be recalled that she underwent a legal battle with her ex-boyfriend, who allegedly harassed her.
MBC's "True Story" covered the story about Goo Hara's biological mother, which aimed to hear her side of the story as people are only aware of Goo Ho In's previous statements.
On the said episode of the TV show, the reporters attempted to hear her side. However, instead of getting an answer, they were confronted by a woman who was trying to avoid the press.
"What are you doing? Why are you here?" She asked. Then, the team said that the mother kept herself behind those close doors and sent them away.
The reporters insisted on explaining the purpose of the interview and allowed her to talk, but she still pushed them away, saying, "I don't want to talk. I've nothing to say. Please leave."
Due to this, a lot of online users are greatly convinced about Goo Ho In's well-grounded reason to battle against their absent mother.
"Goo Hara's mother asking MBC reporters to "please leave her alone" makes me laugh. B***h why? The f**k are you suddenly concerned about your privacy for? You're pretty much only after Hara's money - f**k, you don't even deserve to be called a mother. The nerve of you," a furious netizen wrote.
Earlier, Goo Ho In's legal representative has also expressed his sentiment over the case, in line with the brother's petition.
"From the point of view of humanity and equality before the law, Hara's mother must convey her deep condolences for Hara and let go of the inheritance instead of pursuing it. We request for your concern and support, so we can build up our humanity in a more enviable way," he said.
Meanwhile, fans of the late K-pop idol felt grateful to Instagram, as the social media platform has officially memorialized her account, along with the other late stars, Sulli and SHINee's Jonghyun.
