中英對照讀新聞》Singer Goo Hara’s death shines light on darker side of K-pop歌手具荷拉之死揭示韓流黑暗面
The death of South Korean singer and actress Goo Hara, whose body was found at her home in Seoul, has again shone a spotlight on pressures that stars, especially females, face in the cutthroat K-pop industry and in deeply conservative South Korean society.
被發現陳屍首爾自宅的南韓歌手與女星具荷拉之死，再度揭示明星、特別是女明星在殘酷的韓流產業與極度保守的南韓社會中，所面對的壓力。
Goo’s death at age 28 came less than two months after the death of Choi Jin-ri, or Sulli, another K-pop star and Goo’s close friend. Experts say both Goo and Choi faced extensive cyberbullying and sexual harassment from the public and media throughout their careers, which took a toll on their mental health.
28歲的具荷拉之死，距離另一名韓流明星兼具荷拉閨密崔真理（或稱雪莉）的離世，不到2個月。專家指出，具、崔二人出道以來一直遭逢公眾與媒體鋪天蓋地的網路霸凌與性騷擾，對其精神狀態造成不良影響。
Goo debuted in 2008 as part of the five-member girl group Kara, which shot almost immediately to fame and helped pioneer the K-pop global phenomenon.
具荷拉在2008年以5人女子團體Kara成員之一的身分出道，該團體迅速走紅，並協助引領韓流成為全球現象。
