[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] It has been confirmed belatedly that the police have tentatively closed the case of a safe theft at the home of the late singer and former girl group member Goo Hara.

On the 28th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced that the safe theft incident that occurred around January last year at Goo's residence in Gangnam-gu was disposed of as an "unsolved case file" on December 17 of the same year. An unsolved case file means that the police temporarily close the case until the statute of limitations expires when they cannot find any leads in the investigation.

Goo was found dead at her home in November 2019. Afterward, when the safe disappeared from the vacant residence, an acquaintance of Goo filed a complaint with the police in March last year, requesting them to find the culprit, and the police conducted an internal investigation.

A police official stated, "We conducted interviews with related parties, on-site inspections, and reviewed closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, but the suspect was not identified," adding, "It was difficult to identify the suspect based solely on the footage submitted by the victim's side, and there was no record of the incident on nearby CCTV at the time." He further explained, "This is not an internal investigation closure because there is no need to start an investigation; rather, it is a provisional measure to leave the case as unsolved for now, but if additional clues are found, the investigation can be resumed at any time."
