On May 19, the BBC World Service’s investigative team, BBC Eye, released a powerful new documentary titled Burning Sun, revealing how two female Korean journalists exposed sex scandals involving prominent K-Pop stars.

One of the biggest revelations in the documentary was the role Goo Hara had played in helping journalists expose the scandal. According to one of the journalists, when they needed it most, Goo Hara was able to convince Choi Jonghoon to speak to the journalist. Their recorded conversation would be the big break the journalists needed.

Goo Hara’s feat is even more incredible, considering the idol had helped despite her own personal controversy. The year before, Hara was the victim of blackmail at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, who threatened to release a sex video taken without her consent. He was ultimately sentenced to a year in prison in August 2019.

  • “I’m so sad ㅠㅠ.”
  • “Hara… ㅠㅠ”
  • “I am so upset and sad. I’m so sorry. How can you call this a f*cking country… I hope we publicly execute all f*ckers involved. They are less than animals.”
  • “I think she was facing real threats…”
  • “Hara, I really missed you. It was nice to see you after all this time. I hope you’re having a great day without any worries. Please be at peace.”
  • “I really think if there is such thing as a hell, we’re living in it. The innocent die early and evil men live long lives until they start sh*tting on walls.”
  • “Hara was such a cool and brave person. I was watching it last night and I was so sad. If there is anything that still hasn’t been revealed, I hope it comes to light.”
  • “My heart hurt while watching the documentary. It is a travesty that they couldn’t find the people who robbed her after she had passed. I am going to remember her forever. My brave Hara, I hope you are at peace.”
