According to Osen, Areum was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment after trying to commit suicide early on the morning of March 27. She left a suicide note. The content of the letter has not been disclosed.
After receiving the bad news, Ahreum's boyfriend Seo Dong Hoon was shocked. He shared on his personal page: "I and everyone were shocked. Ahream has not yet recovered consciousness after being treated. I pray Ahreum will recover".
A few days before trying to commit suicide, Ahreum posted the word "bye" on his personal page, causing many people to worry.
Before that, Ahreum went through a tragic marriage. In 2019, she married businessman Kim Young Geul and had 2 sons.
At the end of 2023, Ahreum decided to divorce her husband and publicly announced her new boyfriend, Seo Dong Hoon. In early March 2023, Ahreum caused a stir when she posted an article accusing her ex-husband of brutally abusing her and her two sons.
After gaining custody of the child, Ahream was able to expose the mistreated behavior of businessman Kim.
She wrote on her personal page: "I will reveal the cruel acts that Mr. Kim has committed against me throughout our marriage. The reason I did not reveal those actions was for my children. However, once the children were hurt, I could not forgive them anymore.
He often puts his 1-year-old child in bed. When the 5-year-old caused a stir while he was sleeping, he beat him and threw him outside. He even threw himself on the children's faces. This is not what a person should do.
The former idol said that his eldest son was hit in the head, and his body had many bruises. She was in pain and regret when she trusted and let her children live with her ex-husband's family after the divorce.
Most recently, on March 25, the former member of T-ara posted a series of photos proving that she was beaten by her ex-husband, her body was bruised and her nose was broken. However, she did not go to the hospital to get an injury certificate because she was reckless before her ex-husband's persuasion.
Ahreum said Kim Young Geul beat her in front of her children and treated her son as an "use". She had wanted a divorce for a long time but her ex-husband did not agree.
Ahreum and her ex-husband once participated in the reality TV show "Caught Between Marriage & Divorce" for couples looking to heal their marriage. The beauty admitted that her married life was not sweet.
Ahreum has been a member of T-ara since July 2012. She was active for 1 year and then left the group.
