Ahead of Goo Hara's third death anniversary, KARA members joined forces and announced their reunion at the 2022 MAMA Awards (formerly Mnet Asian Music Awards).
Among the K-pop groups in the industry, KARA is among those that underwent massive changes in the lineup. Nicole and Jiyoung left in 2014, while Sunghee left a year after its debut. It then welcomed Youngji after outshining other trainees in the reality show "Kara Project."
It also faced heartbreak when one of its original members, Goo Hara, died in 2019.
After going through these heartbreaking developments, the current and past members of the K-pop girl group will come together again as they continue to honor Hara's legacy.
MAMA Confirms KARA's Appearance
In November 2019, Hara was found dead following several suicide attempts. She first worried fans in May of that year when she posted the word "Goodbye" on her Instagram account.
She was found unconscious inside her place but was able to be revived at a hospital. Since then, she had been open about her depression and how it worsened because of her ex-boyfriend, Choi Jong Bum.
After suffering assault and receiving threats from him, Hara claimed her own life. The Seoul Northern District Court's ruling last month proclaimed that Choi Jong Bum should be held responsible for her death. Aside from paying the late idol's family $55,000, he served one-year imprisonment in 2020 after being found guilty.
