Lee Min, a member of the Korean female duo 'As One,' was found dead at her residence on the evening of the 5th, at the age of 46. The exact cause of death is still under police investigation. Prior to her passing, she was actively involved in the entertainment industry and had just released a new single, 'Happy Birthday to You,' in June, even appearing on Park Bo-gum's music talk show. Her management company has confirmed the sad news and urged the public not to speculate before the cause of death is officially determined.
Aside from being a singer, Lee Min also worked as a lecturer. One of her long-time friends expressed shock, saying, 'She was truly a positive and optimistic person. After returning to the music scene after a long break, she approached her schedule with great joy. It's really hard to believe this happened.' Another friend mentioned having just met Lee Min last week, describing her as someone who lived life very seriously.
Lee Min debuted in 1999 as part of the female duo As One, with the other member being Korean-American Crystal. Their representative songs include 'Longing and Resentment,' 'Day by Day,' 'You're Welcome,' and 'The One Who Should Say Sorry Is You.'
