K-pop star Goo Hara has issued an apology after being found unconscious and sent to hospital following a suspected suicide attempt on Sunday, reports say.

“I am sorry for causing concerns and a commotion. In terms of health, I am recovering … I had been in agony over a number of overlapping issues. But from now on, I will steel my heart and try to show up healthy,” Goo said through a representative, according to Yonhap News.

Goo, 28, was found unconscious by her manager at her home in Seoul’s Gangnam district early on Sunday morning. The manager said he visited her home, as the singer was not answering her phone and he became concerned.

Media reports say Goo posted a cryptic one-word message on her Instagram account on Saturday night – “Goodbye.”

Goo Hara is a former member of the South Korean girl group Kara.

Goo is a former member of the South Korean girl group Kara and made her debut as a solo artist in July 2015. It is believed the “overlapping issues” Goo referred to include a drawn-out legal fight with a former boyfriend who has been charged with assaulting and blackmailing the singer.
