K-pop star Park Bo Ram found dead, did she commit a suicide?

Park Bo Ram, who was the star of the TV singing competition show Superstar K2, died on April 11. She confirmed this with her record company in Korea.

Park’s management company, Xanadu Entertainment, announced the singer’s death on April 12.
She said that the police are investigating what caused the death.

The deceased individual reportedly worked on new music after releasing two new songs earlier this year.

When her song “Beautiful” came out on August 7, 2014, it was her big break. At the 2014 Gaon Chart Music Awards, it won Female Artist of the Year.

Boram has had success in her native Korea since first appearing as a contestant in 2010 on Mnet’s “Superstar K2,” where she finished in eighth place. She put out her debut single “Beautiful,” which hit No. 2 on Korea’s Circle Digital Chart in 2014. That song was a semi-autobiographical tune about the pressures to conform to beauty standards.

She released her first EP “Celepretty” the following year, earning a second top 10 entry with the title track. Amid a string of one-off singles and collaborations with artists like Eric Nam and Park Kyung, she put out her second EP “Orange Moon” in 2017 and followed with soundtrack songs and standalone tracks. She most recently put out a pair of singles — “I Hope” and “I Miss You” — earlier this year.
