[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Johan (28, real name Kim Jeong-hwan), a member of the group Ilgupbimil, has passed away at the age of 28.


On the 17th, Spotv News reported that Johan died on the 16th, and the cause of death has not been disclosed according to the wishes of the bereaved family.


Johan was known to have communicated with fans through Naver V Live and social networking services (SNS) until the end of last month.


In particular, he held a V Live celebrating his birthday in April. Since he had been actively promoting until recently, the news of his death has reportedly come as a greater shock to his fans.


Born in 1992, Johan debuted in 2017 as a member of the boy group Ilgupbimil. He was active with debut song "She" as well as "Mind Control," "Love Story," "Paradise," and "Countdown."
