“The sudden loss has left his family, fellow artists at Tajoy Entertainment, and our entire staff in profound grief. It pains us deeply to deliver this devastating news to the fans who have always supported and loved Wheesung. We ask that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers so that he may rest peacefully,” the statement added.

Details for Wheesung’s funeral will be announced soon by the entertainment agency. They added to keep away from the fake news about the true cause of his death for the sake of the family.
