As a result, the funeral procedures for the late Wheesung will be postponed.
Born in 1982, Wheesung debuted in 2002 with his first full album 'Like A Movie.' He gained immense popularity with numerous hit songs such as 'Is It Not Possible,' 'Incurable Disease,' 'I Even Thought About Marriage,' and 'Love is Delicious.' He established himself as a representative artist of the R&B genre with his unique deep and rich bass voice.
The late Wheesung had planned a joint concert with fellow singer KCM on the 15th and a solo concert on the 23rd, but ultimately these plans could not be realized.
