"Hara is still warm and kind."(Taiwanese fan)

The fans of the late Goo Hara held a special event. On the 24th, it marked exactly 15 years since Goo Hara's debut, and on the 22nd and 23rd, fans gathered at the cafe 'Lynn' in Cheongdam-dong to share memories.

Not only fans from Korea but also from other Asian countries such as Taiwan and China visited the event. They listened to Goo Hara's songs together and enjoyed the songs she recommended to fans in the past.

One fan from Taiwan said, "I have been a fan since KARA's 'Jumping' in 2010," and expressed, "Singer Goo Hara is still cute, warm, and kind, and I just miss her so much."

Another fan introduced themselves, saying, "I started liking Hara in the fourth grade of elementary school. She was the first celebrity I liked." The fan shared that they found it difficult to continue their fan life after Hara passed away and hoped that her name would be mentioned more naturally as a comfortable issue in the future.

A Chinese fan recalled falling in love with Hara since "Pretty Girl" and shed tears, saying, "Goo Hara was always a warm presence. Last month, I came to study in Korea and visited her memorial park right away. Chinese fans remember Hara every year, and I hope she will be remembered in Korea every year too."

Even long-time fans who have been fans since her debut shared their stories. One fan said, "Just talking about Hara made me tear up and feel difficult, but through this event, I gained courage and now have a beautiful memory that I can always cherish," smiling.

Another dedicated fan expressed, "Goo Hara, throughout her career, left us with sincere and bright smiles without pretense. I hope the public will also remember her bright smile for a long time."

The event organizers stated, "Since her debut, we have received healthy energy from singer Goo Hara, and we want to return that energy. We see it as a way to repay her." They also mentioned their determination to continue spreading Hara's name in any way possible.

The event will continue until the 24th. When customers place an order, they receive merchandise made with Goo Hara's photos. Postcards are also available at the cafe, where visitors can write letters to the late star.
