- A police report - seen by Korean outlets - said Park was drinking with friends
- She went to the bathroom, but was later found collapsed and unconscious
K-Pop star Park Bo Ram has been found dead at a friend's home aged just 30, according to reports, becoming the latest South Korean singer to die young.
According to police, Park was with two other women at her friend's house in Seoul on Thursday when she was found to have collapsed, suffering a cardiac arrest.
She was rushed to hospital, but died at 11.17pm, about an hour after she was found.
Police have launched an investigation into her death.
According to news outlet AllKPop, Namyangju Police Station filed a report that said the singer was drinking with her friends.
The report states she excused herself to go to the bathroom at 9.55pm, but did not return for some time.
When her two friends checked on her, she was 'found slouched over the sink, unconscious,' the report said. They performed CPR while waiting for emergency responders to arrive at the house, it added.
Park's agency XANADU Entertainment released a statement - carried by South Korean media outlets - announcing the singer's passing.
'We are here to share sorrowful and heartbreaking news. Park Bo Ram suddenly passed away late at night on April 11,' the statement said.
'All of the artists and executives at XANADU Entertainment are deeply mourning the deceased with great sadness.
'It is even more heartbreaking that we have to tell you this sudden news to all of the fans who support Park Bo Ram.
'The funeral will be held after consulting with the bereaved's family. Once again, we send our deepest condolences to the deceased so she may rest in peace.'
Park first gained attention by appearing in audition show 'Superstar K2' in 2010, which sees singers perform a song to impress three judges and the audience.
Four years later, in 2014, she debuted with 'Beautiful', ranking 19th on South Korea's annual chart that year.
Just ten days before her sudden death, on April 3, Park released a new single titled 'I Miss You' and was said to be preparing for a full-length album.
Park is not the first young South Korean singer to die in recent years.
Last year, 25-year-old singer Moonbin was found dead in his apartment. His death was put down to suicide.
Choi Sung-bong - who was 33 - also died in a likely suicide in 2023.
In 2019, four young K-pop stars are known to have passed away.
South Korea has the highest suicide rate among young people in the world's developed countries, according to De Telegraaf.
K-pop stars come under a high amount of pressure through their work.
