Wheesung had been a major figure in the South Korean music industry since his debut in 2002, delivering multiple hit songs that touched audiences worldwide.

However, his career faced challenges in 2021 when he was convicted of habitual propofol use, receiving a one-year prison sentence, suspended for two years.

Despite past struggles, Wheesung continued to perform and was scheduled for a concert alongside singer KCM in Daegu this Saturday.

His sudden passing has shocked fans and the music industry alike, leaving behind a legacy of unforgettable songs and performances.

Earlier, South Korean drama and film actor Kim Sae-Ron, best known for her compelling performances in ‘A Brand New Life’, ‘The Man From Nowhere’ and Netflix’s ‘Bloodhounds’ among others, was found dead at her home in the Seongdong-gu district of Seoul, at the age of 24.

Authorities neither found any suicide note nor any signs of foul play were detected in the initial investigation, reported South Korean media.

“There were no signs of crime, including break-in, and we are investigating the exact circumstances of her passing. We kindly ask for consideration of the deceased and the bereaved family and that you refrain from speculating about the specific circumstances and manner of death. We ask for your understanding that the police cannot confirm,” a police source had said.
