SHINee Jonghyun's Passing

The young K-pop idol and a member of the boy band SHINee passed away in December 2017 due to suicide. It has been reported that Jonghyun even contacted his older sister after he sent disturbing messages on KakaoTalk with words such as "last goodbye," and "say I did well."

Jonghyun's older sister became extremely worried and promptly called the emergency responders that day to check on Jonghyun's residence to do a welfare check. Authorities arrived at Jonghyun's place, discovering his lifeless body on the floor.

Despite being rushed to the hospital and being given CPR treatment, Jonghyun's body gave up and was pronounced dead.

Goo Hara's Passing

Goo Hara died last November 2019 and was found lifeless in her residence in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam. The authorities have ruled the cause of death as a possible suicide after discovering a suicide note written by the K-pop idol herself.

To prove the rule, the authorities investigated the crime scene and concluded no signs of foul play in her home.

Sulli's Passing

According to an emergency response employee, Sulli died due to suicide. In October 2019, news broke that the young K-pop idol passed away.

Sulli was discovered lifeless by her manager on the second floor of her home in Seongnam. Police concluded that it was indeed suicide after discovering no signs of foul play and forced break-in at her home.
