They then immediately called authorities and performed CPR on her.
Attempts to revive Park were unsuccessful. Emergency responders transported her to Hanyang University Guri Hospital, and she was pronounced dead around 11:17 p.m.
“Park Bo Ram suddenly left us on the late evening of April 11. Our hearts are deeply troubled as we deliver this sudden news to her fans,” her agency, XANADU Entertainment, said in a statement on Friday.
