Born in 1982, Wheesung debuted in 2002 with his first full album 'Like A Movie'. He gained immense popularity with hit songs such as 'Is It Not Possible', 'Incurable Disease', 'I Even Thought About Marriage', and 'Love is Delicious'.
The deceased was scheduled to perform a joint concert with fellow singer KCM on the 15th and a solo concert on the 23rd, but the performances have been canceled due to the unexpected news.
