South Korean actor found dead in latest K-pop tragedy
China DailySouth Korean actor Cha In-ha is seen in this undated picture provided by his agency Fantasio and released by Yonhap on December 3, 2019. SEOUL - South Korean actor Cha In-ha was found dead in his home, police said on Wednesday, the country's third young celebrity to die over the past two months as concern mounted over the intense social pressures that artists face. In an unrelated case, K-pop star Kang Daniel's management agency Konnect Entertainment said the former member of the hit boy band Wanna One was taking a break from his performing schedules due to "depression and panic attacks." Cha's death comes after popular K-pop singer Koo Hara, 28, was found dead at her home last month. The cases have cast a cloud over the K-pop craze, one of South Korea's most successful soft power exports, and focused attention on personal attacks and cyber bullying of young stars that goes largely unpunished.
