The 28-year-old singer Yohan, a member of the K-pop group TST, died Tuesday.
Details of Yohan’s death, whose real name is Kim Jeong-hwan, remains private, according to SPOTV News via AsiaOne.
TST’s music label, KJ Music Entertainment, confirmed the sad news on Tuesday.
“We are sad to relay the most unfortunate, sorrowful news. Back on June 16, TST member Yohan left this world,” the label’s statement said as reported by Mirror. “The late Yohan’s family is currently in deep mourning. The family has pleaded that media articles about Yohan’s passing, such as those making speculations about the cause of his death, be refrained out of respect. We express our deepest condolences in light of Yohan’s final parting.”
Yohan’s wake is allegedly being held at Severance Hospital in Seoul while his funeral will take place on Thursday. He made a final entry on his Instagram on May 31 where he posted a picture of himself on a beach, and in various places, with a caption that says, “I want to travel.”
Before becoming a member of TST, which was formerly known as Top Secret, Yohan performed with the group NOM in 2015.
