In a recent breakthrough, authorities have remastered existing surveillance footage into high-resolution video to aid in the investigation of a burglary at the home of the late K-pop star Hara, a former member of the girl group KARA.
The incident, which occurred after Hara's tragic passing in 2019, involved an unidentified thief breaking into her residence and stealing a safe containing her personal belongings.
The enhanced footage now offers clear images of the suspect, providing crucial details that were previously obscured such as his facial features, body features, and more.
Hara, the beloved K-pop star and member of KARA, tragically passed away on November 24, 2019. Subsequently, on January 14, 2020, an intruder targeted her home, specifically breaking into her dressing room to steal her safe. This safe was reported to contain valuable items including Hara's jewelry, various contracts, and her cell phone. Despite an extensive nine-month investigation, the police have been unable to identify or apprehend the culprit responsible for this invasive crime.
K-netizens commented:
"The person has a unique gait and notably short pinky fingers, which were captured on video, so honestly, if it's someone they know, everyone would probably recognize them."
"With this level of detail, people close to the suspect might start recognizing him soon. Aren't there any tips or leads yet?"
"The way they walk looks like a tall person slouching as they move. I really hope the culprit gets caught."
"It's only a matter of time before they are caught."
"The way he walks is creepy."
"The scariest part is that he still hasn't been caught."
"Their legs are really long... Such proportions are rare in Korea."
"If it's not a professional, an acquaintance would definitely recognize them..."
"It's still terrifying to see... That such a scary person with malicious intentions made it into a home. I really hope they get caught."
"Their hands look small compared to their height, and their walk is distinctive. If it's someone familiar, they would likely recognize them."
