Polaris Entertainment, the group’s record label, made the following announcement: “Ladies’ Code’s RiSe has passed away to the heavens at 10:10 AM on the 7th, at 23 years of age. At the time of the accident on the 3rd, Rise obtained a big injury to her head and was moved to the hospital. She was operated on as much as possible for a long time, but she has ultimately passed away. Her parents, who came from Japan, and the label employees stayed with her at the end. We are sorry to give another sad news since the late EunB and we cannot hide our sorrow.”

 
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rise’s family, friends and fans at this difficult time.
