According to the Seoul Police, as reported by several Korean media, Choi Sung Bong was found at his home in Seoul on Tuesday June 20, 2023 after he posted a 'farewell' message on his YouTube channel. It may have been scheduled before he made up his mind, as police speculate.
Seeing the nature of the letter and the situation presented before them, they suspect it was a suicide, even though an autopsy has not been carried out. Choi Sung Bong debuted in 2011 by becoming the runner up on tvN's Korea's Got Talent.
In 2014, he released the album Slow Boy, and continues to perform. He claims to have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, thyroid cancer, and prostate cancer after earning the nickname 'Korea's Paul Potts.' Controversy erupted when it became clear that the whole thing was a lie.
At that time, Choi Sung Bong vehemently denied the related suspicions and made significant efforts, such as revealing his diagnosis, but all of these were also falsified. In addition, he was the target of accusations and criticism that he squandered the one billion won he received from crowdfunding on entertainment expenses.
