      Controversial Korean singer Choi Sung Bong found dead in his home; police suspect suicide

      South Korean singer Choi Sung Bong was found dead in his house in Yeoksam-dong district of southern Seoul on June 20. He was 33. Police suspect he died of suicide.

      South Korean news agency Yonhap reported that Choi Sung Bong posted a message on his YouTube channel before his death. Investigation into the matter is underway.

      Choi Sung Bong had been making headlines for controversy involving his health.

      He claimed that he was battling cancer.

      In 2021, he even started a fundraising campaign saying he needed money for treatment.

      After it was revealed, it was a hoax, the singer also confessed his wrongdoings and promised to return the donations he received.

      A media outlet said police believe that the singer killed himself, considering the situation at his home and a note he uploaded to his YouTube channel the day. The note read, ‘I sincerely apologize to all who suffered from my foolish mistake.’ The note added that all donations were returned.

      Choi Sung Bong reportedly came from an underprivileged background.

      He was forced to drop out of music school as he lacked the funds to pay his fees.

      He went on to become a labourer and landed his big break in 2011 after participating in ‘Korea’s Got Talent’.

      Choi impressed the judges by singing Ennio Morricone’s ‘Nella Fantasia’.

      He also impressed several stars in the world including Justin Bieber.

      According to The Hollywood Reporter, Justin said at the time, ‘This is awesome. Never say never, and good luck to this kid. Great story.’
