On February 20 last year, Bang Sil-yi died after a 17-year battle with cerebral infarction at a nursing hospital in Ganghwa in the morning. He was 61.
Bang-sil closed her eyes due to cardiac arrest at Ganghwa Nursing Hospital in her hometown, Incheon. The ceremony was attended by colleagues and seniors and juniors in the entertainment industry, who were close to the bereaved families, and sent their colleagues away in tears.
The deceased had been battling cerebral infarction since 2007.
Bang Bang-il, who was carried to the emergency room of Bundang Seoul National University Hospital in a state of unconsciousness, invited media companies to the hospital room 20 days after his hospitalization to reveal his current health status.
Bang-sil, who has been constantly giving updates on his illness through broadcasts, said "I'll sing again."I promised to recover my health and received a lot of support.

At that time, Bang-sil looked at the pictures of his heyday on the wall of the hospital room and thought, `I always put my pictures on the hospital room and thought that it would be like that again a year later. But it got too long. I shouldn't let you down when you're working so hard around me, I was trying to get my act together more, but that's 16 years. I thought I would sing again soon, but I didn't know time would pass like this."
Bangsil was born in Ganghwa Island in 1963, graduated from Ganghwa Girls' High School, and later played in the U.S. Eighth Army as a singer. In the meantime, he formed a female trio 'Seoul Sisters' with Park Jin-sook and Yang Jung-hee, and received a lot of love from his debut with Shin Sang-ho's lyrics and composition 'First Cha', the title song of his first full-length album 'First Cha' released in 1986.
In particular, Bang-sil gained popularity among male fans with her cool singing and exciting dance. Although the team disbanded in 1990 due to the marriage of other members, Bang-sil turned solo and was recognized as a diva with hits such as 'Seoul Tango'.
Bang Sil, who reportedly married a Japanese kickboxing promoter in 1994, said in an interview with KBS 2TV "Entertainment Broadcast"12 years later that he was not actually married. When I woke up, there was an article and I didn't live with him for a day."
