I still don't get it. Watching her last Instagram live, she looked so relaxed and normal. She was talking to people, dancing, just being Hara.
I don't get it. Why did she have to do this? This is true heartbreaking shit.
Sorry haven't been following kpop much over the past year or so. What do you mean by saying Mina was a sign of hope?Dude that sucks so much. I hope Hara rests well and that the industry and country continues to actually move forward on mental health. They still have a ways to go (hell we still do in the States) but Mina was a sign of hope.
I really hope they can do better in supporting their talent before they start to feel like ending their lives is their only option.

Mina of Twice has publically been diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder and instead of the usual clown shoes behavior, the company allowed her to take an extended hiatus to focus on her mental health (posting multiple updates to say how it's her choice when she wants to return and keeping folks up to date on how she's doing) and the majority of the fanbase has been highly supportive of her.
They didn't demonize her condition or try to force her to deal with it alone, which is not common at all.
Thank you.

You have to remember that KPOP stars get a lot of training in a variety of fields and no doubt that putting a mask on is something that they are trained to do. Her looking relaxed and normal appears to have just been a mask meant to hide the inner turmoil. :/

I was working almost all day and then I found out about 1hr ago; I'm so depress and can't concentrate at all at work right now T_TMan I'm so bummed. I somehow missed this news all morning. Kara was a GOAT group and Hara was always one of my faves. RIP.
We have at least four members of K-PopEra who have contemplated suicide to varying degrees. If you know of anyone suffering, please try to do whatever you can to support them.
How many people have to die before systematic changes in the Korean culture? At the very least I'd hope that such high visibility casualties will push the authorities towards stepping up much more heavily against cyberbullying, abuses, revenge porn and whatnot. The whole population would benefit from it.
RIP.
im following Kpop and Korean Entertainment since several years now, and i've seen so many disgusting things, that makes even the western industry look like paradise.
Knetz, the Agencys, politics - a terrible place, especially for the women over there.
a lot of Artist are puppets over there, that take over fake personas
She was also called basically a slut on TV because she dared to date a guy after she broke up with a different guy.I feel like sone of y'all are trivializing serious issues by conflating this with an industry problem.
Sulli most definitely was.
But you need to remember Hara was sexually assaulted, blackmailed and physically abused by her non-industry boyfriend. That speaks to societal woes. Korea's entertainment industry is bad, but every enrertainment industry is bad. Korea is not particularly unique or excessively dirty compared to any other.
There are social issues that need addressing and they extend well beyond the people on tv.
