Park Boram first impacted the K-pop industry at age 17, competing in the 2010 singing competition series Super Star K2 as a high school student with a love of R&B music and becoming one of the youngest finalists before finishing in eighth place. She made her official debut on the scene on Aug. 7, 2014, with the single "Beautiful," featuring popular rapper Zico, which peaked at No. 2 on Korea's local Gaon singles chart and won her an Artist of the Year honor for the chart's top song of August at the 2014 Gaon Chart Music Awards. The track and music video was notably semi-autobiographical in detailing Park's lengths to be "Beautiful," including exercising and extreme dieting to lose a reported 70 pounds ahead of her debut. She released her first EP, Celepretty, in April 2015, which included "Beautiful" with its title track single, and she also secured another top 10 hit.

“The cause of death is not immediately known and is currently under investigation, but a police report filed by officers from the Namyangju Police Station states that she was at a private drinking gathering with two friends on the night of her passing.”

This will be a drug overdose

I don't know anything about how they view celebrities in Korea... Is it really worse than it is in the US?

Just in terms of young people and KPOP stars, It's orders of magnitude worse. I like some KPOP music, but the hardcore KPOP fans' adoration for the KPOP bands / singers is a level of cringe you've never seen before.

She was reportedly 5'4" and weighed 99 lbs. Did this small frame take too many drugs?
