Born in 1968, the deceased was found dead in an officetel in Gangnam, Seoul, where he was living alone on November 27, 2017. He was 57, and his absence was not confirmed until about two weeks after his death.
According to the police at the time, CCTV last recorded the deceased returning to the officetel on November 8. Since then, when contact was not reached, fire and police were dispatched to open the door on the 25th due to a neighbor's report, and the death of the deceased was confirmed on the spot.
An autopsy revealed that the cause of death of the deceased was kidney shock. A close aide said "I usually had kidney problems. I didn't take it seriously," he said. The police investigation also confirmed that there was no possibility of external death.

At that time, the bereaved family said "The image was bright and lively, and I kept in constant contact with my acquaintances" He lived alone, but he did not live a lonely life. He corrected the misunderstanding by explaining that it was just a sudden breakup.
