Allkpop reported on June 21 about Choi Sung-bong's death. Previously, on June 20, the singer posted a suicide note on YouTube, causing public confusion and some people reported it to the police.
In the letter, the singer thanked his fans and repeatedly apologized for the cancer-faking scandal two years ago. Choi Sung-bong mentioned the donation, saying that he had returned the money and tried to live a normal life but in the end, he could not do it.
Choi Sung-bong passed away at the age of 33.
In particular, in the letter, the male singer wrote: "Although my breath may have stopped now, I have no regrets about the brilliant journey of my life. This life is a tragedy, but I hope the next life will have a happy ending. My body can be found at my home."
Choi Sung-bong was a contestant who received much attention for his performance of "Nella Fantasia" on the show "Korea's Got Talent" in 2011. He ran away from an orphanage as a child and worked as a manual laborer to make a living, but his desire to become a singer never faded.
Choi Sung-bong's journey to winning the runner-up position on "Korea's Got Talent" brought him fame.
However, in recent years, the male singer has faced controversy and been turned away by fans after he was exposed for lying about being terminally ill, suffering from three cancers: colon, prostate and thyroid.
His deception of the public to raise funds for his medical treatment has caused him to lose the public's affection and admiration.
Choi Sung-bong later apologized sincerely, but the Korean entertainment industry is notoriously harsh. Singers who make mistakes find it difficult to receive forgiveness and return to their former glory.
