Singer Park Boram has died. She was 30 years old.
“Park Boram left our side late at night on the 11th,” Park’s agency, Xanadu Entertainment, said adding that police are currently investigating the exact cause of death.
Park Boram appeared on Mnet’s “Superstar K2” in 2010 and performed well, before making her official debut in the music industry with “Beautiful” in 2014. The song was a huge hit, reaching No. 19 on the Melon annual chart that year.
The news of Park Boram’s passing comes as a shock, especially since she had been actively performing until recently, releasing “I Hope” with Huh Gak in February and her new song “I miss you” on the 3rd of this month.
The agency Xanadu Entertainment said, “All of our fellow artists and employees are deeply mourning the deceased with great sadness,” adding, “The funeral process will be held in a private place after consulting with the bereaved family. Once again, we send our deepest condolences to the deceased on his final journey.”
