Choi Sung Bong, the singer who faked having cancer, leaves a distressing message on his YouTube community

AKP STAFF

Singer Choi Sung Bong, who previously admitted to faking cancer, has left a distressing message on this YouTube channel.

On June 20, Choi Sung Bong wrote on the community section of his YouTube channel, "Hello, this is Choi Sang Bong. The reason I am writing this is to send a letter to my fans for the last time in my life. If you're able to see this, it means I am already dead." 


He continued to write, "I sincerely apologize to those who have suffered due to my foolishness. I'm sorry. I repaid back all the donations that were given to me over the past two years. Now, I want to repay my sins with my life."

Choi Sung Bong also noted where his body would be and continued to write, "I'm sorry to everyone who has helped me. I'm sorry. I think I endured for long enough. Please forget me. Also, I hope you're happy in each of your lives."


Meanwhile, Choi Sung Bong debuted in the 2011 'Korea's Got Talent' and garnered much attention for his singing abilities and his back story. He was the runner-up on the show and was able to appear in various TV shows after that.

However, in 2020, Choi Sung Bong claimed that he was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, hypothyroidism, and thyroid cancer from the remnants of cancer that he had when he was seventeen. He had updated his fans through his social media that he is receiving treatment and fighting cancer.

He received much financial support from fans after they fundraised for the singer to release an album. Unfortunately, in 2021, Choi Sung Bong admitted to faking cancer to receive money from his fans, shocking the Korean entertainment industry.

If you or someone you know is at risk of self-harm or suicide, seek help as soon as possible by contacting agencies specializing in crisis intervention and suicide prevention in the United States and overseas.

I hope there's a way we as a species can find a way to help people who feel this way to somehow find a will to live and find purpose and happiness in their lives. Barring some incurable debilitating illness. One shouldn't be taking this type of action ever

This is crazy...has anyone found him? Are they looking for him??? This is why it's so important to forgive people of their mistakes and wrongdoings.....I hope this too is just a prank or something...I'd rather it be that...I can't...
