The late Chae Dong-ha, 12th cycle... Retired at the young age of 30
Today (May 27) is the 12th anniversary of the late Chae Dong-ha of group SG Wannabe.

Chae Dong-ha, who was 30 years old, was found dead on May 27, 2011 at her home in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul.

An autopsy was performed on the deceased at the time, but there was no sign of murder, and it is known that he suffered from depression and anxiety. In particular, the accident that occurred after the deceased, who was greatly loved at home and abroad, returned from activities in Japan, aroused many people's regret.

The late Chae Dong-ha, who debuted as a solo singer in 2002, joined SG Wannabe in 2004 and worked with Kim Yong-jun and Kim Jin-ho. SG Wannabe has famous songs such as 'My Person', 'As I Live', 'Crime and Punishment', and 'Timeless'.

SG Wannabe received great love from the public through their appealing vocals and cool singing skills. At that time, SG Wannabe won the 2005 Golden Disk Awards, KBS Music Awards Singer of the Year Award, 2006 Mnet KM Music Festival Best Album of the Year Award, Best Song Award, Golden Disk Digital Grand Prize, and 2007 Golden Disk Awards.

The late Chae Dong-ha left the team in March 2008 and went solo. He released the solo songs 'How Can I Forget (There's No One Like That Again)' and 'The Day Goes Crazy', but was suspended for more than a year due to a neck injury. After that, in January 2011, he released 'It's Like Yesterday' with VOS member Jiheon Park.
