In January 2020, after the funeral for the deceased had taken place and family members had departed from Goo Ha-ra’s residence in Cheongdam-dong, it was reported that a man had broken into the late female singer’s home and stolen her safe.

The burglar attempted to guess the front door’s password, and then proceeded to enter the house effortlessly through the second floor veranda, as if he was already familiar with the layout of the house. He then took only the safe from the closet and made his exit.

The lawyer overseeing the case disclosed that the safe contained jewelry, investment contracts, and used cell phones belonging to Goo Ha-ra. Despite a nine-month investigation by the police, the thief was never apprehended.

During an appearance on the show “Unanswered Questions,”Goo Ha-ra’s brother shared a memory from the past. He remembered that 49 days after his sister’s passing, he went to her house and was informed by her friend that the safe was missing. He then spent the entire night searching for CCTV footage. However, he discovered that the CCTV had been deliberately cut off and covered with leaves by the thief, leaving behind only one piece of evidence.

The production team enlisted the help of an expert to examine the evidence, stating “I believe the perpetrator may be someone resembling this individual.”The expert responded with a shocked expression, saying “I suppose that is possible.”Subsequently, the production team revealed the testimony of a friend, stating “They are someone who is familiar with the contents of the safe.”

By zooming in on the CCTV footage, “Unanswered Questions”was able to capture the appearance of the thief and received a report about the man in the images. According to the report, the suspect is a slim man in his 20s or 30s, standing at 180cm tall. Captions were added, such as “He was seen wearing prescription glasses”and “We are awaiting reports from the person who dismantled the safe in 2020,”which only adds to the intrigue surrounding the ongoing story.

In reply, online users expressed their thoughts, stating, “At last, ‘Unanswered Questions’ is making progress,””I have faith that modern technology will aid in solving the case,””It’s great to see renewed interest in the Goo Ha-ra safe theft and the re-investigation of the Burning Sun Scandal,”and so on.
