On the first anniversary of the late Wheesung, a wave of remembrance continues for the deceased.

A year has already passed since Korea's leading R&B artist Wheesung left us. Wheesung rose to stardom upon his debut in 2002 with the title track "Like A Movie". Since then, he has released numerous hit songs such as "Terminal Disease," "With Me," "I Thought About Marriage," and "A Heartbreaking Story," earning him the nickname "R&B Crown Prince."

Wheesung's music has become a life force for many people beyond mere hit songs. Not only led to the popularization of the R&B genre in Korea with its unique tone and outstanding singing ability, but it also dominated the era by writing and composing a number of songs and gained sympathy from many people, showing the comforting power of music.

A year has passed since his death, but those who still miss his voice and music have also moved to commemorate Wheesung in their own ways.

Kim Jin-ho, who had a relationship with Wheesung through JTBC's Hidden Singer 2, paid tribute to the deceased through his personal SNS. He said, "It's one of the great lucks of my life to know you. Just knowing you was a great happiness to me," he said. "I'll remember everything. So I hope you forget everything and live happily ever after," he said, expressing his longing for Wheesung.

Babylon, who is known to be close to Wheesung during his lifetime, also honored the deceased by posting a photo of his memories with Wheesung on his SNS. Rapper Ahn Soo-min also expressed his condolences by posting a picture of his visit to Wheesung's grave on his personal SNS.

The intention to pay tribute to the deceased was also conveyed through contents. The video of Wheesung's "Killing Voice," released on the 10th on the official Dingo YouTube channel, was joined by Babylon and newcomer Ain, who have had a long relationship with Wheesung. The two performed a new reinterpretation of the masterpieces he left behind, honoring the musical legacy of artist Wheesung, who made a mark in Korean R&B history.

On top of that, news of the performance of "Hwiseong Tribute X MBC It's Live" was reported on the 11th. In this performance, many artists who were connected to Wheesung, including Bang Ye-dam, Ali, Na Yoon-kwon, Solji, Jeong In, Jo Je-ze, K-Will, Park Hye-won (HYNN), and Kim Jin-ho, covered Wheesung's music and gave special memories and resonances to fans who visited the concert hall.

In particular, this performance was held free of charge by fellow artists to truly honor Wheesung, and it is said that the fans who visited the scene gave genuine comfort to Wheesung.

Meanwhile, "Hwiseong Tribute X MBC It's Live" will be released on the 20th on the YouTube channel of It's Live, and the sound source will also be released.
