Health YouTuber Park Seung-hyeon, who had 830,000 subscribers, has passed away. He was 34 years old.
Park Seung-hyeon's brother shared on social media on the 6th, noting, "At 3:51 p.m. on Jan. 5, my brother Seung-hyeon went to heaven for health reasons," and posted a photo of the memorial hall. He continued, "Due to the deep sorrow of our parents, we will not accept condolences at the memorial hall. We hope that you pray for the deceased's repose with a comforting heart," he noted.
Mr. Park was a popular health YouTuber with 830,000 subscribers. Around 2018, he retired as a bodybuilder and has been at the forefront of raising awareness about the dangers of drug use, in what was called "yak-too." He revealed that he also used drugs and had turned himself in to the police. Subsequently, he stated, "As a result of turning myself in for violating the pharmaceutical law in the past, I received a suspension of indictment," and added, "I am grateful for being given another chance." In October of last year, he confessed he was unable to produce content due to symptoms of depression.
He had posted a video of his back training on his channel until five days before his death, leaving fans and fellow bodybuilders in shock due to the sudden news.
