“Thanks for about five years together”
The news about his death became public on June 29. Shortly afterwards, his former bandmate Hojun spoke up via Instagram and said goodbye emotionally: “I heard the message too late … I’m so sorry that I couldn’t be there on your last trip.”
He added: “I sometimes think of what I could have done better. I hope you can now throw all your worries and live in peace. Thanks for about five years together. I pray for you eat a lot of delicious food and you are doing well. Visit me in my dreams.
F.Ble made their debut with their single “Burn It Up” in 2020. This was followed by songs like “Run Run Run” and “Baby Don’t Cry”. But after a short activity, the group took a break and Jaehyun disappeared out of the spotlight. While three other members founded the new formation Enphaze, Jaehyun retired.
The withdrawal
Jaehyun had already withdrawn from the public some time ago, which explains the scope of his illness. According to “Mayo Clinic”, leukemia is a cancer of the blood -forming system, in which the bone marrow produces excessively large number of white blood cells – but in a form that is unable to function.
So the fans mourn
K-popFans honor the deceased via X (formerly Twitter) and share their grief online with words like: “That hurts really” and “I was only briefly with the group and asked myself what became of him … his suffering is over now.” Another user remembers X as follows: “He was really something special and meant a lot to me.”
