According to Sorisae on the 3rd, Kim died that morning. He was 70 years old at the time of his death.

Sorisae stated, "Kim Gwang-seok suffered greatly while fighting illness for a long time. We pray that he may find peace in a heaven free from pain."

They added, "His health deteriorated rapidly after the desperate period of the COVID-19 pandemic, and after battling cerebral palsy for a long time since 2023, he passed away at 5:55 a.m. that day."

The late Kim was born in Incheon in 1956. He formed the trio Solgae with Hwang Young-ik and Han Jung-sun in 1980 and debuted in 1981, continuing his activities under the renamed group Solgae Trio from 1985.

In 1987, Han Jung-sun left the group, and after recruiting new member Han Young the following year, they changed their name to Sorisae. In 1994, Han Young departed, and Kim Gwang-seok and Hwang Young-ik continued as a duo until recruiting new member Yoon Gi-hwan after 2000. His hit songs include "Love Still Unfinished" and "You and I."

The late Kim's wake is being held at Room Special 1 of the funeral home at Kyowon Yeum Incheon Sarang Hospital, with the funeral service scheduled for 1 p.m. on the 4th. The burial site is Bupyeong Seungwhawon in Incheon Family Park.
