Goo Hara had to face such hardship when last year, her ex-boyfriend threatened the star. He accused Hara of assaulting him during their break up. Even though the former Kara member told the Police, he was the one who assaulted her.
As a matter of fact, Goo Hara filed a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend, who has threatened to release a sexual video of Hara. The alleged ex-boyfriend received a jail sentence in August last year for physically assaulting and blackmailing the star.
