Noting that it was even more heart-wrenching having to share her passing with "all of the fans who support Park Bo Ram," the agency added, "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."
She was at a private gathering with two friends when she collapsed suddenly from cardiac arrest, according to a police report obtained by AllKPop. She was transported to the hospital but died about an hour later, per the report. A cause of death has not yet been revealed.
Four years after coming in eighth place at on Mnet's competition show Superstar K2, Bo Ram rose to fame in 2014 with her debut single, "Beautiful," which hit No. 2 on Korea's Circle Digital Chart.
