• Concerns Deepen Over T-ara Ahreum's Well-being Amid Alleged Suicide Attempt Reports

    On March 27 KST, distressing news emerged regarding Ahreum, a former member of the girl group T-ara, who was reportedly hospitalized following a purported suicide attempt in the early hours of the morning.

    Ahreum, who was part of T-ara from July 2012 to 2013, has since pursued a different path. In 2019, she married an older businessman and became a mother to two sons.

    However, her recent appearance on 'Between Marriage and Divorce' shed light on the challenges within her marital relationship.

    In December of last year, Ahreum publicly announced her decision to divorce her husband, expressing her intention to remarry her current boyfriend, a well-known film writer, after finalizing the divorce proceedings.

    The situation took a disturbing turn when Ahreum made allegations of abuse by her ex-husband, sharing distressing images of bruises on her children's bodies as evidence.

    On March 25 KST, Ahreum bravely disclosed further instances of domestic violence, revealing a photo of her face bearing scars while wearing a torn dress.

    The reported suicide attempt has heightened concerns about Ahreum's ongoing struggles, prompting an outpouring of support and calls for greater attention to mental health issues within the entertainment industry.
