Twitter

South Korean pop star and actor Cha In Ha has been found dead at the age of 27.

It's the third young celebrity to die in the last two months amid growing debate about the intense social pressures artists face.

His agency Fantagio has confirmed his body was found on December 3 in his home.

Cha, whose real name is Lee Jae-ho, made his film debut in 2017 and was previously a member of the five-member boy band Surprise U, which released two albums.

It comes after popular K-pop singer Koo Hara was found dead at her home last month, and the death of fellow K-pop star Sulli in October.
