It has been 12 years since singer Shin Hae-cheol passed away.

The late Shin Hae-cheol died at a hospital in Songpa-gu, Seoul on October 27, 2014. He was 46 years old at the time of his death. Ten days before his death, on the 17th of the same month, he underwent surgery for intestinal obstruction. Subsequently, he complained of high fever and abdominal pain before collapsing from cardiac arrest.

After receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation and being transported in a coma to Seoul Asan Medical Center, he underwent bowel resection and adhesiolysis but ultimately failed to regain consciousness, dying from hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

The deceased's family filed a lawsuit for medical malpractice homicide against the doctor who performed the surgery. The doctor was sentenced to one year in prison and had his medical license revoked in May 2018.

His death sparked anger among many people. In May, KBS 2TV's "Secrets of Celebrity Illness" also revisited the full details of his medical accident. Autopsy results revealed that eggshells were found inside the pericardium of the late Shin Hae-cheol. Doctor Lee Nak-jun explained the shocking autopsy findings, stating, "In a normal situation, eggshells cannot be found in the pericardium." As incomprehensible situations continued to unfold, Lee Chan-won also expressed his anger, asking, "Did you treat the patient as an experimental subject?"

Additionally, Lee Nak-jun expressed bewilderment, saying, "This makes no sense. When a guardian is present, consent must be obtained before proceeding, but this was a cosmetic surgery. As far as I know, there are no cases where it was performed without obtaining consent."

The late Shin Hae-cheol debuted in the music industry with the band Infinite Track at the 1988 University Song Festival. He later pursued activities as a solo singer and with the band Next, leaving behind numerous hit songs such as "To You," "Don't Wear a Sad Face," and "Someday." From 2001 to 2012, he served as the DJ for MBC FM4U's "Shin Hae-cheol's Ghost Station," earning the epithet "Demon King."
