A day before singer the late Shin Hae-chul's birthday, the mystery surrounding his death was revealed.
On the 5th, KBS2's "Secrets of celebrity soldiers" aired featuring Oh My Girl's Hyojung and music critic Bae Soon-tak, depicting the musical innovation and human side of the 'mawang' Shin Hae-chul and the truth behind his mysterious death.
Shin Hae-chul debuted after winning the college song festival grand prize with the song "To you," which he composed on a melodeon while pulling a blanket over his head. Debuting with the band Muhang Gwedo, Shin Hae-chul went through a solo singer period, formed the band N.EX.T, and changed the Korean music scene by introducing "MIDI composition" and "in-ear earphones" for the first time in Korea. Seo Taiji, Kim Dong-ryul, and Psy were among those who learned his techniques.
Shin Hae-chul, who was also the country's first unpaid DJ, created the "indie band chart" and supported Broccoli, You Too?, Peppertones, and Jang Ki-ha and the Faces. In addition, he was a true "adult" who spoke out boldly about social issues and the pain of young people.
After being placed on the National Intelligence Service (NIS) blacklist and forced into an involuntary hiatus for six years, Shin Hae-chul died just as he was about to make an emotional comeback, shocking the public.
Lee Nak-jun compared Shin Hae-chul's initial diagnosis of 'intestinal obstruction' and his condition at the time to a "stuck dumpling" to explain it plainly. Lee Nak-jun also expressed doubts about the story that the operating surgeon performed a cosmetic "stomach reduction surgery" without the patient's consent.
After surgery, despite taking opioid painkillers, the severe abdominal pain that did not subside spread to chest pain. But the operating surgeon, based on electrocardiogram results, prescribed painkillers again. Ultimately, Shin Hae-chul, who was found collapsed in the hospital bathroom, suddenly left the people who loved him. The National Forensic Service released an autopsy finding of "peritonitis and pericarditis, complicated by sepsis." In addition, perforations were found in the small intestine and the pericardium of the heart, revealing signs of medical malpractice by the operating surgeon. In particular, the news that "sesame" was found in the pericardium caused shock. At the time, the operating surgeon, who was being tried over the Shin Hae-chul case, was also sentenced to prison for another case of medical malpractice. The number of victims who died during surgeries performed by that surgeon reached five, causing horror. In response, Le Chanwon could not hide his anger, saying, "Is a person a test subject?"
