What is the truth behind Wheesung and Amy's drug controversy? We've compiled the full story of the incident revealed through the release of the recording, as well as the reason for Wheesung's death. Let's look back at what happened at that time.

Singer Wheesung passed away suddenly on March 10th after being found in cardiac arrest at his home in Seoul.

But as news of his death spread, the past drug controversy with Amy came back to the surface. What was the truth behind that incident? Let’s take a look at how the controversy unfolded at the time.

1. Amy's revelations in 2019
In 2019, Amy revealed through social media that she had taken propofol and zolpidem with celebrity A (later revealed to be Wheesung) .

In addition, there was a huge backlash when Mr. A claimed that he had planned a sexual assault to silence her. At the time, Amy said, "There is a recording," and people were shocked.

2. Rebuttal from Wheesung and release of recording
Wheesung's side immediately denied this by saying, "It is not true." And they released a 7-minute-long phone call recording that could turn this controversy around.

If you organize the transcript,

- Amy calls Wheesung first and apologizes
- Say "I was wrong, forgive me"
- Wheesung sobbed and despaired, saying, "Will I be able to sing now?"
- The person who said Amy heard the story about the simulated sexual assault also refuted it, saying, "I never said that."

When this recording was released, public opinion changed and Amy was accused of being a liar.

3. Amy opens her mouth again
But in 2020, things changed again when Wheesung was investigated by the police on charges of habitual propofol use.

Netizens began to react by saying, "So what Amy said was true?"

Afterwards, Amy stated her position again in an interview, saying, "Everything I revealed was true. I just apologized because I was heartbroken when Wheesung cried over the phone."

"What I wanted was a sincere apology from Wheesung," she said.

4. Wheesung, eventually found guilty on drug charges
In 2020, Wheesung was brought to trial on charges of illegal propofol administration and received a suspended sentence.

Although he was previously found not guilty, he was eventually punished again for the same charges, which dealt a huge blow to his image. Since then, his activities have become less frequent, and it has been difficult to even see him on social media.

5. Hwisung's sudden death
And on March 10, 2025, Wheesung was found in cardiac arrest at his home in Seoul. The official cause of death has not yet been revealed, but it is likely that mental stress and depression played a role.

6. Fans' reactions and waves of condolences
The music industry and fans alike were shocked by Wheesung's sad news.

Fans who miss him are sharing his songs on social media to commemorate him. Once called the ballad prince, his music and voice still remain deeply in the hearts of many.
