Wheesung found dead at home
11 Mar - Singer-songwriter Wheesung has recently passed away.
On 10 March, the R&B singer was found dead at home in Gwangjin District, Seoul, with the authorities saying that he has been dead for quite some time when he was found.
No signs of break-in or suspected criminal involvement has been found.
The police and fire departments are currently investigating the specific circumstances of his death and are not ruling out the possibility of suicide.
The news came as a surprise as it was just a few days ago that Wheesung promoted a joint concert with KCM at Exco in Daegu that should be held on 15 March.
Making his debut in 2002, Wheesung was known for hits like "Can't You" (2002), "Insomnia" (2009), "Even Thought Of Marriage" (2010) and more.
However, in 2021, the singer was given a two-year suspended prison sentence for the illegal use of propofol.
He was 43.

‘Dazed & Confused' star Nicky Katt died by suicide, family confirms
(KSNF & KODE) — The family of beloved character actor Nicky Katt has confirmed the 54-year-old died by suicide. It was reported earlier this week that Katt had died, but the cause of death is now known to be suicide, according to a report from Deadline. Katt was perhaps best known for his role in the cult-favorite 'Dazed and Confused' as bully Clint Bruno, as well as lead and supporting roles in film, television, and video games including 'Insomnia', 'World Trade Center', 'The Dark Knight', 'Boston Public' and 'Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords'. In a statement given to , Katt's sister confirmed the actor had been struggling a quiet battle against depression and urges others to help break the silence and stigma associated with mental health problems. Read the full statement from Nicky Katt's sister, originally published by here: 'Personal Statement on the Loss of My Brother I am deeply saddened that the details of my brother's passing were made public without my consent at a time when our family was still trying to process the shock and grief of his loss. Today, with the heaviest of hearts, I share the devastating news of my brother's passing. He died by suicide after battling with depression-one that he fought bravely but quietly. This is a pain no family should endure, yet far too many do. Mental illness is real, it is powerful, and it is often invisible. We hope that by sharing this, we can help break the silence and stigma that so often surrounds mental health struggles. In this moment of grief, we kindly ask for compassion-not only for our family as we mourn this unimaginable loss-but for every person who is silently struggling. We also ask for privacy to navigate this tragedy and begin the process of healing. If you or someone you know is experiencing depression, please reach out. You are not alone, and help is available. Let us honor my brother's memory by approaching one another with greater understanding, kindness, and care. Thank you. Elise Ravenscroft' If you or anyone you know is having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
