It has also been 18 years since the late Lee Young-hoon died as a composer.

Lee Young-hoon died on February 14, 2008 after battling colon cancer. He was 48.

The deceased, who was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2006, underwent surgery several times and died on the 14th after battling the disease, including repeated discharge from the hospital. On December 26, 2007, he was admitted to Samsung Medical Center in Ilwon-dong, Seoul, and then moved to the cancer center of the same hospital on January 2, 2008 to continue his fight against the disease. However, the deceased's condition worsened, and he stopped chemotherapy and survived by drinking only water and juice based on the judgment of the medical staff that there was no possibility of resuscitation.

The late Lee Young-hoon was loved by the public as a popular composer when he made ballad songs ranging from the third album "I Don't Know Yet" to the seventh album "Old Love," which put Lee Moon-se on the top list while working on music in the pure art field while making plays, broadcasting, and dance music.

The deceased composed many hit songs such as "Gwanghwamun Sonata", "Girl", "Red Yellow", "Old Love", "When Autumn Comes", and "Standing Under the Shade of Garosu".

At that time, the funeral service, which was hosted by singer Yoo Yeol, was held in the presence of more than 100 pastors, family members, and acquaintances of the church where the deceased attended.

Lee Moon-se, who made the eulogy, said, "Young-hoon, the son of God, Younghoon's face in the portrait is smiling as if saying, 'Moon-se, I'm not sick like a lie anymore,'" and added, "The broadcast and performance of Younghoon, who was suffering from unpredictable pain, are not resolved with a heavy heart these days, but when I saw Younghoon in the portrait, I finally found your bright side."

"If you've crossed the river that you can't come back now, go in peace," he continued, "and I remember the last text you sent. 'Mr. Moon-se, look out the window. It's snowing in large flakes. Poet Seo Jeong-ju also went up to heaven on a day like this, and I wish I could go on a day like this. I cry before you, who was a poet until you passed away," he confessed.

Following Lee Moon-se, Lee Jung-hwan, the son of the deceased, confessed how he felt about sending his father in tears, and the ceremony became a sea of tears again.

Lee Jung-hwan said, "I remember my father who couldn't forget his passion for music until the end and drew notes with his painful arm up," adding, "Didn't his passion for creation hurt him?" If I lived as an ordinary person other than composer Lee Young-hoon, I think I would have stayed with us for a longer time," he said.

"I was happy to care for my father, the last three months I had a hard time," he said, recalling his time with his father, "My eyes growing day by day, my father's skinny legs that seemed to break in my hands, and my father's face, which was too clear and calm, were difficult to watch."
