JYP Artist Hannah 12th Anniversary: A Tragic Farewell Remembered

Hannah was found dead at her home on January 13, 2014, at the young age of 32. The most heartbreaking aspect of her story is that her death wasn't revealed to the public until nine months later. Even her closest colleagues were unaware of the tragedy at the time. It was later disclosed that she had been struggling with panic disorder during her lifetime.

In a touching tribute, singer MAYDONI shared her grief on social media, saying, "Sister Hannah, why only now? I understand panic disorder very well too. I can still hear your powerful voice..."

From 'Bounce' to the Silver Screen

Hannah first gained recognition in 2002 as the lead in Kang Sung-hoon's music video. She officially debuted in 2004 with the hit single "Bounce". Later, she transitioned to acting, appearing in films such as "Money Bag" (2011) and the short film "Black Crayon" (2012).
