South Korean pop singer Wheesung was found dead under suspicious circumstances. Reports indicate that his body was discovered at his residence in Seoul. Police arrived at the scene and launched an investigation, suspecting that an overdose of drugs might be the cause of death. However, Wheesung’s agency issued a statement claiming that he had passed away due to a heart attack.

Wheesung was known for hit songs like Insomnia and Heart&Soul Story. He made his debut in 2002 with the R&B album Like a Movie. Over the years, he gained popularity by blending various music styles, including R&B, pop, and hip-hop. His unique approach to music brought him significant success in the Korean music industry.

Despite his achievements, Wheesung’s career faced setbacks in 2021 when he was convicted for using the powerful anesthetic propofol without a doctor's prescription. This controversy had a severe impact on his career, leading to a decline in his public image and opportunities in the industry.
