Singer Hyun Chul has passed away.
On the afternoon of the 16th of July, a funeral room was set up for Hyun Chul at Asan Medical Center in Seoul. Access was restricted to family and close mourners, with his wife, son, and daughter serving as chief mourners.
Hyun Chul passed away on the afternoon of the 15th of July after a long battle with illness at the age of 82. He had been suffering from health complications following cervical disc surgery several years ago, which led to nerve damage and prolonged illness. Due to his health issues, he was unable to attend the funerals of long-time acquaintances Song Hae and Hyun Mi.
Before visitors arrived, condolence wreaths began arriving at the entrance of the funeral hall. Wreaths from notable figures and fellow singers, including Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Yoo In-chon, Kim Yeon-ja, Park Gu-yoon, Bae Il-ho, Seol Woon-do, Young Tak, and Hyun Sook, were prominently displayed.
His last television appearance was in 2020 on KBS 2TV’s “Immortal Songs,” where he appeared alongside Ha Choon-hwa as a legendary singer, creating unforgettable memories with junior singers.
Hyun Chul debuted in 1969 and became beloved by the public for songs such as “Thinking of You Always,” “Is Love a Butterfly,” and more.
The funeral service will be held on the morning of the 18th, and he will be laid to rest at the Bundang Memorial Park.
May his soul rest in peace.
