Only a few years ago, Sulli and Goo Hara were at the height of their powers, two K-pop stars whose talents had brought them fame across Asia. But in the space of six weeks, both women died.

Japan when her body was found at her home in Seoul last weekend alongside a note that
police said indicated she had been feeling “pessimistic”.
