Singer the late Ok-hee has passed away. She was 73.

Ok-hee passed away on the 20th at a hospice ward in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, surrounded by her family. The deceased had been diagnosed with kidney cancer last year and continued her battle with the illness, but ultimately could not overcome the disease and passed away.

She first entered the entertainment industry when she met singer Hyun-mi during middle school. Later, she debuted in 1968 as the leader of the five-member female group Seoul Sisters and actively performed on overseas stages in Hong Kong, the Middle East, the United States, Canada, and other locations.

She then debuted as a solo artist in 1974 and gained great popularity with the song "I Don't Know," also receiving the MBC Top 10 Singers Award. She continued to release hit after hit, including "Speak Only with Your Eyes," "I Think You're Somewhere," "Oh, That Day," and "Hold My Hands," establishing herself as a representative singer of the 1970s.

The deceased also became a major topic due to her romance with Hong Su-hwan, a former world boxing champion. The two began dating in 1978 and had a daughter, but eventually broke up. Ok-hee stopped her activities after giving birth but resumed her singing career in 1981.

The two then reunited after 16 years in 1995, drawing attention. They released an album together and even appeared on stage at a charity concert.

Even while battling illness, the deceased never lost her passion for the stage. In March, she appeared on KBS's "Gayo Stage" and passionately performed "Flower of Passion."

Meanwhile, Ok-hee's wake has been set up in Room 22 at Seoul Asan Hospital, and the funeral will be held as a private ceremony Han Ga-su-hyeop (Chairman). The funeral procession will be held at 11 a.m. on the 24th. The burial site is Bundang Home Chumoo Park.
