WHEESUNG : Join him on his last trip

Singer WHEESUNG received a final tribute today.

On March 10th, we learned of the tragic death of singer WHEESUNG, who was only 43 years old. Today, KSTATION TV was present at his funeral ceremony, so that we could, alongside his relatives and fans, pay a final tribute to him. The ceremony took place in a hospital at 6 am, the press being invited to immortalize the few words exchanged on the deceased. At the back of the room, a large banner is hung with the words

“Artist WHEESUNG, forever in our hearts”.

A portrait is placed in the center of the room, hiding his coffin that bring tears from his relatives. Out of respect for the artist and his family, we will not publish photos of the coffin.

The tone of the ceremony is set: not to mourn his loss, but to celebrate all the things he accomplished during his lifetime, and his musical career that marked the minds of young and old. They say things like “his music will last forever” and take comfort in knowing that his legacy will be passed on from generation to generation. Among the speakers, his family, his colleagues, and also the president of his fan club, who thanks him for all the love he has always given to his fans, apologizing for not giving him enough in return before he left.

A video is broadcast, recalling the highlights of his career. His singing and composition talents were highlighted, as well as the considerable impact he had on the art scene. WHEESUNG was a singer who, at first hearing, could charm his audience. His relatives are proud to have been able to spend time with him, even for a short time, highlighting all the happiness and hope that the artist had given them. He will be remembered from this day forward as a loving son, a faithful friend, an artist with a big heart. At the sight of his coffin, the voices break and tears fill the room. The emotion is palpable and we realize how much the singer was loved.

For four days, it was possible to go to the hospital and say goodbye to people who could not be there today. His brother made it a point of honour to remind us not to mourn his loss. Seeking to overcome the loss of the singer, it is said that he will one day become an elderly person, until he dies in turn and fall into oblivion, while WHEESUNG is now immortal in his music. He says that he has not been able to help him, despite all his will, saying that for some people it is not so easy to get out when you feel bad. In a nutshell, it confirms the hypotheses surrounding the artist’s disappearance.

WHEESUNG was described as being a discreet and reserved person, with who we had trouble knowing where he was and what he did on a daily basis. His few appearances gave a balm to the heart of his relatives and fans, attributing the word «warm» to represent him. To comfort those suffering from his loss, his brother makes them think that he is traveling or resting somewhere, still writing songs for his next life. He hopes that people will continue to listen to his songs, so that his name can live on in history.

Following the words addressed in his memory, WHEESUNG’s family was able to guide his coffin into the car that will guide him on his last journey, so as to attend his funeral. In memory of his career as an artist, he has released the following albums: «LIKE A MOVIE» (2002), «IT’S REAL» (2003), «FOR THE MOMENT» (2004), «LOVE… LOVE?… LOVE!“(2005) , «ETERNAL ESSENCE OF MUSIC» (2007), «VOCOLATE» (2009), as well as a large number of mini-albums, singles and digital singles. On the occasion of his loss, KBS released a commemorative video, retracing the singer’s greatest performances:
