Wheesung was found collapsed at his home in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, at around 6:29 p.m. on the 10th. Wheesung was scheduled to return from China on the 9th and meet with his manager on the same day. However, when I could not reach her, my mother, who lives in the same building, visited me in person I found my fallen son and reported him. The paramedics who were dispatched after receiving the report immediately took emergency measures, but were finally pronounced dead.
The police are investigating the existence of the suicide note and the exact circumstances of the death, judging that the criminal charges are not significant given that there are no signs of external invasion.
Ostrich Entertainment, the agency, said "All of the company's fellow artists and executives, including the bereaved family, are mourning the deceased with heartbreak due to the sudden sad news. It is so heartbreaking to share the sad news to the fans who have sent generous support and love to Wheesung. Please pray for the repose of the deceased so that Wheesung can rest comfortably."
The sudden death of Wheesung also shocked the entertainment industry.
First of all, the joint concert planned with KCM was canceled. Wheesung was scheduled to hold a joint concert 'The Story' with KCM at the Expo Auditorium in Daegu at 6 p.m. on the 15th. Wheesung also posted a "diet" on his account on the 6th. I'll see you on March 15th." However, this post became the last word of the deceased, and the performance was finally canceled.

Yoon Min-soo posted a video of him singing Toy 'I've lived with you for a while' on SBS 'Fantastic Duo' with Wheesung, singing and music in peace. I won't forget your clear and pureness. Let's meet again later and sing together again,' he mourned.
Jo Kwon of 2AM shared his condolences by sharing Wheesung's hit song 'Untold Stories', while Verbaljint wrote "All the moments we had together were honoured and grateful." Harisu San's back also expressed regret.
As soon as Wheesung debuted with his first album Like a Movie, he rose to stardom by hitting the title song Can't I?. Since then, he has become a representative R&B singer, hitting all the songs he releases, such as 'Terminal Disease'I even thought about getting married'.
He was recognized for his ability not only as a singer but also in writing and producing. He proved his outstanding ability by writing lyrics such as Younha 'password 486', T-ara 'I'm crazy because of you', and Lee Hyo-ri 'Hey Mr. Big'.
However, Wheesung also complained of drug problems and extreme mental distress. He was charged with administering propofol 12 times between September and November 2019 and sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation in 2021. On March and 4, 2020, he was found collapsed after being hit with etomidate, a sleep-inducing anesthetic, in the bathroom of a building in Songpa-gu and Gwangjin-gu.
Later, Wheesung said in 2023 "If there is a human who claims that a depressive disorder is fake, a fake disease, or a delusion or delusion, he is the worst killer in the present era. Thanks to you, I wanted to die more", "I've been hiding at home for a long time because of extreme mental suffering" drew concern by making such remarks.
