It has been 17 years since the death of the late Turtle Man (real name Lim Sung-hoon), a member of the three-member mixed group Turtle.
Tuttleman died of acute myocardial infarction at home on April 2, 2008. He was 38.
Tuttleman, who debuted with his first full-length turtle album "Go Boogie" in 2001, demonstrated his musical capabilities by writing and composing a number of hit songs such as "Four Seasons," "Bingo," and "Airplane."
The much-loved turtle was officially disbanded through the official press conference of members Geum-bi and Ji-Ee after Tuttleman passed away.
After the sad news, Zee said, "When (the late Tuttleman) collapsed due to myocardial infarction, I recommended hospitalization because he had to undergo a hospital exam every three months. However, if I am hospitalized, I will not be able to do activities, so I did not go to the hospital," he said, causing even more regret.
Meanwhile, the remains of the deceased were laid to rest at the Utopia Memorial in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province.
