Around 9:55 p.m. she went to the bathroom and never came back out. When her friends went in to check on her, they found her slumped over the sink. Per the report, CPR was attempted but it was too late. She was later pronounced dead at Hanyang University Guri Hospital. She was only 30 years old.

The Korea Herald made their own reports saying the Do As I Like singer suffered cardiac arrest, although it’s not clear at this time what would’ve caused it.
The CELEPRETTY hitmaker first broke out into the music industry in Korea on the competition show Superstar K2. She would go on to release her debut single Beautiful in 2014, which reached number two on South Korean charts. She was gearing up to celebrate the 10 year anniversary in August.
So, so sad. She was far too young. We’re sending her family and friends love and light.
