The group Ive sent a wreath to the funeral of the late Kim Ha-neul, who was killed by a teacher at an elementary school in Daejeon, and expressed their condolences.

On the 11th, Kim Ha-neul‘s funeral was held at the funeral hall of Konyang University. At the funeral, a wreath with the words ‘Singer Ive’, ‘We pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased’, as well as Ive’s photocard, were placed.

The deceased‘s father previously revealed in a media interview that Kim Ha-neul was a fan of Ive’s Jang Won-young when she was alive. Kim Ha-neul‘s father said, “Ha-neul’s dream was to become like Jang Won-young. She asked me to buy her a photocard of Jang Won-young as a birthday present. “No matter what program Jang Won-young appeared on, I was a child who had to watch it live even if I had to stay up late,” he said.

He continued, “If the IVY staff sees this, I would be grateful if they could say a warm hello to Jang Won-young on her way to heaven,” he earnestly requested.

After hearing the media interview with Kim Ha-neul’s father, IVY immediately sent a photocard and a wreath to the funeral to express their condolences.

Meanwhile, Kim Ha-neul was stabbed to death by a 40-year-old teacher, Mr. A, at an elementary school in Seo-gu, Daejeon at around 5:50 p.m. on the 10th.

Mr. A confessed to the crime to the police, saying, “I killed any child and tried to die with them.”

Mr. A is currently recovering after surgery, and the police plan to investigate the exact motive and circumstances of the crime as soon as Mr. A recovers his health.
