The late Wheesung enters eternal rest. As his death still feels unreal to many, a funeral altar was prepared about 4 days after he passed, with many expressing their condolences.
Wheesung was found in cardiac arrest at an APT. in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 10th. He was 43 years old. In particular, the news of his passing was shocking, as he was set to perform at the 'Wheesung X KCM Concert in Daegu' at the Daegu EXCO Auditorium on the upcoming 15th. In relation to this, KCM noted, "We are also in a very stunned state," adding, "After the news broke, we received final confirmation of the concert's cancellation from the event planning company," wishing for the late artist's peace.
At the time, the fire department, which was dispatched after receiving a report from family members, administered emergency measures including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but it was reported that he was pronounced dead in cardiac arrest. During this process, the police reported that no signs of external intrusion or homicide were found, and they requested an autopsy from the National Forensic Service. An initial opinion indicated 'unknown cause of death.'
In the meantime, amid concerns that the funeral procedures could not properly be carried out due to the family's severe psychological shock, on the 14th, about 4 days after his passing, the bereaved family opted to prepare a funeral altar for many colleagues and fans who loved the late artist, stating, "We would be grateful if everyone who remembers his music could join us in his final journey, which he spent alone his whole life."
In particular, the agency stated that after the autopsy was completed, they would provide an additional statement, noting, "The funeral was intended to be quietly conducted only with family due to concerns for the health of the mother, but after careful consideration, the bereaved family wishes to hold a time for mourning together with many people who loved and remembered Wheesung," adding, "We would be grateful if everyone who knows Wheesung and remembers his music could join us in his final journey, which he spent alone his whole life."
