Less than a month after K-pop star Moonbin took his own life at the age of 25, Korean trot singer Haesoo has reportedly died by suicide at the age of 29. Haesoo was found dead in her hotel room. The South Korean police have found a suicide note in the room as well. The police withheld the identity of the singer.
She was set to perform at an event on May 20. Her demise came into light after the South Korean media outlet Koreaboo reported that they received calls from organisers stating that Haesoo won't be attending the scheduled event as she has passed away.
Previously, on May 13, police had stated they had found the body of a singer in her hotel room but had withheld the identity. At the time, the police stated they had found a letter written by the singer and that they didn't suspect any foul play.
YTN then revealed on May 15 that Haesoo, who was originally scheduled to perform at the festival on May 20, would be absent due to suddenly passing away.
