Ok Joo-hyun, a long memorial letter to Wheesung for over 20 years..I won't forget the great power you gave me



Singer Ok Joo-hyun paid tribute to his friend Wheesung, who suddenly passed away.

Ok Joo-hyun said on the 11th, "It was 2004 at that time…"It's been more than twenty years"I recalled the stage I went up with him.

Ok Joo-hyun said, "In our twenties, we went to many lessons together, focusing only on 'various vocal lessons' It was a time when I was on fire talking about vocals," he recalled.




Then "Thanks to you, I enjoyed the 擅 lessons of standing in front of the soundproof wall for hours and collecting sounds." When I was so excited to try and explore various lathons, I was clumsy, tick-tok, lost track of time, dug in the vocal well, and had so much fun sharing...He was a fellow singer and we were such students" he recalled.

Ok Joo-hyun is "a man of that time. There's a saying like this. After that, we must have been busy living our lives with passion in our seats. I don't forget how much support you gave me back then when you were a Vocal Lesson comrade.. When I was loved and happy, I was full of music with passion like an active volcano, and you were there, I wish you happiness, peace, I will pray and remember you."

Wheesung was found dead at his home in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 10th.




Police and fire authorities, who were dispatched after receiving a report from Wheesung's mother, believe that it has been a considerable amount of time since Wheesung died at the time of discovery. It is known that there are no criminal charges, such as signs of external invasion.

Wheesung felt even more sorry as he and KCM were set to hold a joint concert 'The Story' at the Daegu Exco Auditorium on the 15th.

Ostrich Entertainment, the management agency, said "All of my fellow Ostrich Entertainment artists and employees, including the bereaved families, are mourning the deceased with heartbreak due to the sudden news."It is very heartbreaking to deliver the sad news to the fans who have shown generous support and love to Wheesung." Please pray for the repose of the deceased so that Wheesung can rest comfortably.
