South Korea Officially Passes "Goo Hara Law"

After years of delay, the "Goo Hara Law" has finally been passed by the South Korean National Assembly. On August 28, the law was formally approved during the 22nd National Assembly plenary session with overwhelming bipartisan support. The law, aimed at amending existing inheritance laws, will prevent parents who have neglected or abused their children from inheriting their assets after death. The law was passed with 284 votes in favor and 2 abstentions out of 286 attending members. The "Goo Hara Law" was named after the late singer Goo Hara, whose estranged mother claimed 40% of her estate despite abandoning her at a young age. Public outrage following the case led to the proposal of the law in 2021, but it remained dormant until now. Following the law’s passage, Goo Hara's brother, Goo Ho In, expressed his gratitude on social media, celebrating the victory and thanking supporters.

All your small acts of support added up and helped it finally pass. Wishing everyone good health and happiness during these difficult times. Sincere thanks to all.” The tragic death of Goo Hara has also resurfaced in public discussions this year, following a BBC documentary on the Burning Sun Scandal, which highlighted her role in exposing the case.
