K-Pop Sensation Wheesung Found Dead in Seoul Apartment

K-pop singer Wheesung, real name Choi Whee-sung, was discovered deceased in his Seoul apartment. Though his cause of death remains undetermined, his agency confirmed cardiac arrest was involved. Wheesung rose to fame in 2002 but faced legal issues in 2021 over his use of a banned anesthetic.

In a shocking turn of events, K-pop star Wheesung, born Choi Whee-sung, was found dead in his Seoul apartment, as confirmed by documents from The Hollywood Reporter. The precise cause of his death remains unclear.

Wheesung's agency, Tajoy Entertainment, released a poignant statement affirming the tragic news, revealing that the singer was discovered in cardiac arrest and later declared dead.
