The singer burst to internet fame in 2011 with a performance on 'Korea's Got Talent,' but his career took a dark turn in 2021 when he admitted he had tricked fans by claiming to have cancer to raise money.

Yonhap reports that Seoul police believe Choi killed himself because of the circumstances at his home at the time his body was discovered — and because of a note he uploaded to his YouTube channel earlier in the week. South Korea’s entertainment industry has plagued by a succession of deaths of young performers in recent years, causing growing concern about the mental health stresses experienced by artists in the country. In 2019, K-pop star Sulli, 25, was found dead in her home after experiencing a wave of cyberbullying. Just weeks later, Goo Hara, 28, another K-pop star, was found dead in her home. Both cases were ruled suicides.
