It's true that Goo Hara was one of the Gen 2 female idols who got the most hate comments and was also nit-picked by Kim Gura for refusing to do aegyo on TV.
Regardless of that, why do people blame the malicious comments instead of her ex-boyfriend, who took illegal videos, threatened her, and even made her kneel in the elevator before she eventually took her own life? Thanks to them, her ex is now able to live without any consequences and continue living without being held accountable.
I don't want to talk about her, but Pann is the easiest way in this situation. It's very disrespectful to constantly bring up Sulli and Goo Hara's names for no reason, it's insulting.
"You begged me to save your life" Goo Hara, from her boyfriend who filmed their intimate intercourse to her parents who cut off ties with her ... Her past sends chills down your spine.
In September 2018, it was reported that Goo Hara's boyfriend at the time, Choi Jongbum, who was working as a hair designer in Cheongdam-dong, had physically assaulted her during an argument, leaving her with bruises on her arms and legs. He also allegedly to threatened to share a video of their sexual intercourse, leading him to trial.
Additionally, in August of the same year, Choi Jongbum was also accused of illegally filming Goo Hara's body without her consent and forcing her to kneel and apologize to the CEO of her agency.
However, Choi Jongbum continued to appeal against the charges and was eventually sentenced to one year in prison by the Supreme Court after going through three trials.
As a result of the incident, Goo Hara suffered deep emotional wounds and attempted to take her own life twice. Tragically, she passed away on November 24, 2021.
Why do some people blame women for Goo Hara's death, despite there being a clear perpetrator in this case? While Sulli faced significant online bullying from women, I don't think this was the case for Goo Hara.
This incident led her to be a hot issue in male-dominated online communities for the video that was never right to film in the first place. They all talked about how her ex-boyfriend was innocent, how they wanted to see the videos and even images of her autopsy report. During that time, it was mainly women who supported Goo Hara.
I'm sure people will ask whether should I really talk about this here. Not to mention people mentioning Sulli which is even more out of topic. That is insulting and disrespectful to them. Goo Hara clearly identified her abuser and mentioned that she felt like she was going to die because of him.
Ignoring that fact is even more disrespectful to her. The abuser is living comfortably now, knowing that people are forgetting about what he did.

1. [+574][-96] The primary reason behind Goo Hara's death was her boyfriend. I 100% agree that he should be punished for what he did. However, do you guys really not know why people are blaming female-dominated online communities for both Sulli and Goo Hara's deaths? The difference between male dan female-dominated online communities is the double standards that exist in female-dominated online communities. As you can see, there's a difference between male and female-dominated online communities. Compared to male-dominated online communities, female-dominated online communities are relatively restrained. The most popular female-dominated online communities include Nate Pann, Instiz, Jjukbbang, Theqoo, etc. It's easier for something to become an issue in female-dominated online communities. The characteristic of female-dominated online communities is they justify malicious comments and the commenters act as if they're just stating their opinions, claiming it's just 'an opinion from a regular person's POV'. As a result of this, people like Sulli and Goo Hara end up being portrayed as 'b*tches with mental illnesses' instead of victims. What about sexual harassment and hate comments in male-dominated online communities? Most men there sexually harass celebrities. They view men who leave hate comments as strange. Which one is strange: The celebrities who experience sexual harassment or men who sexually harass celebrities? Society naturally picks the latter. What about female-dominated online communities? 'Doesn't Sulli look weird these days?', 'What's wrong with Sulli?', 'Sulli is really controversial', 'Looks like Sulli is using drugs. Her gaze looks strange' etc... Do you think the OP of those hate posts truly consider that their posts are acceptable? Just by looking at the number of likes on the articles that become issues, it's clear that those malicious comments are justified. As a result, those celebrities become the target of a witch hunt. Those justified comments ultimately sacrifice many beautiful and talented women like Sulli and Goo Hara. Secondly, the double standards in female-dominated online communities. What are the things that you always say? 'Women's rights', 'Feminism', 'Don't judge women recklessly, 'Don't create a harsh society for women', 'Don't force women to have a pretty and skinny body', etc, right? However, what are the posts about female idols that constantly become trend in female-dominated online communities? 'Her face has changed, don't you think so? Did she get plastic surgery?', 'Her double eyelids surgery looks so obvious, what a shame', 'It looks like she has gained weight lately, right?', 'Isn't she too skinny? It looks creepy', 'Did you see her make a mistake in her performance today?', 'Why is her expression like that? She must be controlling her teammatesㅠㅠ', 'Why does she talk like that? Seems like she doesn't have a good personality', 'Isn't she trying too hard to act cute?', etc. They constantly talk about women's rights and feminism, as if all women are united to change society. However, in reality, they constantly criticize every aspect of female idols and ultimately apply the same 'oppressive standards for women' that they speak out against. They are even more eager than anyone else to attach these standards to female idols, simply because they are prettier and more talented than them. I think it's ridiculous that sometimes they get mocked for it. You can notice this just by looking at the posts in 'Enter-talk' for a day or two. Once again, I'm not saying that male-dominated online communities are innocent or that Goo Hara's ex-boyfriend is innocent. I'm just saying that female-dominated online communities are at fault too and I'm writing this comment for people who can't accept that.
2. [+340][-42] In the end, the cause of Goo Hara's death is indeed her ex-boyfriend. But I remember seeing comments from female-dominated online communities when Goo Hara first attempted suicide saying things like, 'She's just putting on a show to gain sympathy. It's not going to change anything', etc. At that time, there were some Pann-jummas who even called Goo Hara a 'b*tch'. They ignored the fact that Goo Hara was beaten up during a physical fight with her boyfriend and instead focused on the fact that Goo Hara left nail marks on her boyfriend's face by saying 'How could you make someone else's precious child's face like that? She's such a b*tch', etc. However, it's understandable since they probably lived in a time when women's rights were at rock bottom. But still, there were a lot of people who upvoted those comments. In the end, it's fact that both male and female-dominated online communities left malicious comments for them.
3. [+317][-62] I remember this because I was a fan of hers, you guys were on her ex-boyfriend's side. You questioned whether she was the one who asked to film the video. You also questioned how will she take responsibility for the nail marks she left on her ex-boyfriend's face, because those scars will never go away. It was no joke. Do you really not remember that? You have no shame at all.
