Hheesung, on his real name Choi Whee-Sung, was discovered in a state of unconsciousness in his home on Monday night, after his mother alerted emergency teams. The local press reported that the artist has not responded to calls, which led to the authorities’ intervention, The Guardian reports.
Police said there are no clues to suggest a violent death, but stressed that “It has passed a significant period of time“From the moment of death. Thus, an autopsy will be required to determine the exact cause of death.
“The artist HEESung has left us ”, His management agency Tajoy Entertainment confirmed on Tuesday, mentioning that his team is “deeply grieving“Of this loss.
Wheesung was an emblematic figure of South Korean music, conquering the audience with its emotional songs. Among his best -known songs are “With me“And”Insomnia”, A reinterpretation of the hit of the British Craig David.
Despite his popularity, his career has been affected by personal and legal problems. In 2021, the artist was sentenced to prison with suspension for propofol consumption, a strong anesthetic, sometimes used for recreational purposes.
However, Wheesung seemed determined to continue his musical activity. Even in his last post on social networks, he announced a concert scheduled for March 15 and wrote: “Weight loss has ended. See you on March 15”.
His death again raises question marks on the huge pressures in the South Korean entertainment industry, which has been marked in recent years by the premature disappearance of several stars.
The verbal rapper Jint brought him an emotional tribute to Instagram: “Every moment spent together was an honor and I am grateful to you. You worked so hard. Rest in peace, Wheesung!”.
Unfortunately, the name of Wheesung joins a longer list of artists who left too early. Recently, actress Kim Sae -ron was found dead at the age of 24, and last year, actor Song Jae-Lim and K-Pop Moonbin star died at an early age.
