Late singer Cheong-rim has reached her third anniversary.
Cheong-rim passed away on July 19, 2023, after battling colon cancer. She was 37 years old.
The late artist made her debut in the 2004 drama "Sorry, I Love You," gaining public recognition. She later appeared in other works such as "Dream" and "Smile, Mom."
She also released her EP album "STEP" in 2009 and continued to work as a singer. Notably, she earned the title "The Second B.I" due to her resemblance to singer B.I and her talent.
After releasing her mini-album "Show Up" in 2010, she did not engage in significant activities until it was revealed in 2020 via a YouTube channel that she was working as a sales representative for a motorcycle brand.
Following the sudden news of her passing, a wave of condolences ensued. Cho Min-ah, formerly of Jewelry, expressed her grief, saying, "Her bright smile still lingers in my mind," and added, "My heart feels heavy."
