Celebrities attend Chae Dong Ha’s funeral procession



On the morning of May 29th, family and friends of the late Chae Dong Ha watched on in tears as his coffin was borne out of the Seoul University Hospital for the funeral procession.

Chae Dong Ha’s portrait was carried by former SG Wannabe bandmate and close friend, Kim Yong Joon. Members Lee Suk Hoon, Kim Jin Ho, M to M’s Son Jun Hyuk, and others stood by Chae Dong Ha’s side until the very end, and about 20 fans were allowed on to the scene.

The procession was carried through Hannam-dong, his hometown, before he was cremated and laid to rest at the Sky Castle Memorial Park.

Former SG Wannabe member Chae Dong Ha commits suicide



Korean media outlets are reporting that on May 27th, SG Wannabe’s former member Chae Dong Ha (30) committed suicide by hanging himself in his home in Bulkwang-dong.

The Eunpyung-gu rescue team received a report from Chae’s manager on the morning of the 27th. They stated, “He was pronounced dead on the scene, and police have confirmed the identity of his body.”

His agency stated, “Chae Dong Ha has always suffered from depression. He recently returned after completing his Japanese promotions. This morning, we weren’t able to get into contact with him so we called 911 and later discovered him.”

Many are speculating that Chae Dong Ha’s depression sourced from the suicide of his former manager, who passed away two years ago inhaling gas in a motel room.

In his official comeback album, “Essay“, Chae Dong Ha had written a special message to the manager, which read, “It was a moment more exciting than my first kiss. My first manager. My consolation, my friend, and my hyung. The moment I met that person, I had received the whole world. As of June 9th, 2009, he is no longer by my side. Half of my heart is still missing. Still. ’Hyung, you have to be happy, okay? Promise me that you’ll be happy…’”

Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and loved ones at this time.

F.T. Island returns with ‘Hello Hello’ on Inkigayo



After a long hiatus, the F.T. Island boys kicked off their comeback promotions through today’s episode of ‘Inkigayo‘.

Since it’s their first Korean work in almost a year, the boys aptly named their third mini album, “RETURN”. F.T. Island has been actively promoting in Japan, and still are, to some extent.

Their title track, “Hello Hello” is a fast-paced rock track that records at 200 BPM. With an added acoustic effect, the song is definitely a refreshing rock track that’s perfect for the summer season.

The title and lyrics are about a man who’s unwilling to bid farewell to his lost lover by greeting her with a “hello hello” instead of a “goodbye.”

Check out their comeback below!
