EARLIER this week, KARA’s Jiyoung wrote a message on Instagram expressing how much she misses her late groupmate Hara, and touched on a subject they both had shared before; on growing up and becoming an adult.
Her message read: “Unnie, I miss you even more today. I don’t know if I’m doing well but I am working hard to be an accomplished ‘too a’ (Japanese word meaning “adult”). I will go see you soon with a nice press. I love you.”
Back in 2013, Hara had posted a picture of the two sharing an earphone, and wrote: “We have been running hard, right Jiyoung? Let’s not have a change of heart and keep going.”
Hara died on Nov 24, 2019, in an incident that was ruled as a possible suicide. In 2018, she had filed a lawsuit against an ex-boyfriend after he threatened to damage her career by exposing an illicit video.
KARA will be making a comeback at the upcoming 2022 MAMA Awards, scheduled for Nov 29-30 in South Korea.
