On the morning of the 13th, Chun Myung-hoon shared a part of the memorial song for Kim Hwan-sung titled 'Geurida Geuripda Bogopa Gagopa' on his SNS.

Chun Myung-hoon wrote, "This song was planned to be released by NRG in May 2018 but was canceled due to opposition," adding, "It is a song expressing the feelings of missing many people who have passed away during Hwan-sung's and my lifetime, feelings we could not express."

He continued, "I first talked with Hwan-sung in 1997 in a broadcasting station restroom while we were active as Kkaebi Kkaebi, and I invited him to join NRG," reminiscing about the late artist, "I missed Hwan-sung more than anyone else."

He concluded, "Hwan-sung, I sometimes miss you, but from today onward, I will no longer wake you who are resting peacefully," and added, "Rest in peace, I love you."

Kim Hwan-sung debuted with NRG in 1997 and gained great popularity. In 2000, he was hospitalized due to cold symptoms and passed away at the age of 19 from an unknown viral acute respiratory disease.
