It has already been 12 years since singer Haneul (real name Kim Haneul·Rottyful Sky), who was loved for "Utkine" (웃기네), passed away.
On Oct. 8, 2013, Rottyful Sky suddenly lost consciousness and died while receiving treatment. Only on Sep. 17 had she collapsed for no apparent reason, and she ultimately left her family and fans in less than a month. She was 25. Such a short and tragic life.
Her death was revealed to be a "sudden death," but the shock was greater because a clear cause was not identified. She, who had been loved by the public for her bright and healthy image, left with a sudden farewell, and fans and colleagues fell into deep sorrow.
After the sad news was reported, an online community shared his video titled "the late Rottyful Sky's last stage," showing him performing "Ibyeori Apda" on MBC's Show! Music Core in Sep. 2010, adding to the regret.
Many celebrity colleagues, including singer Kim Chang-ryeol, Jewelry's Ha Joo-yeon, Park Ki-young, and actor Dong Hyun-bae, also expressed condolences through social media.
Haneul debuted under her real name in 2001 at the young age of 13 and gained great public love with "Utkine." At the time, her cute appearance and witty lyrics drew attention as a representative singer-songwriter of the early 2000s music scene. Later, in 2010, she made a comeback under the stage name "Rottyful Sky," showing musical maturity, and continued her musical passion by participating in Gahee's solo song "It's Me."
But he, who loved music more passionately than anyone, ended his short life and left many people saddened. Fans still express their mourning, saying, "Her songs remain the same over the years," and "Whenever I hear 'Utkine,' it still feels like Haneul is smiling."
