Jaehyun, a member of disbanded boy group F.able, has passed away after a battle with leukemia. He was 23 years old.
According to a report by My Daily on July 2, Jaehyun passed away suddenly on June 30 due to a rapid deterioration in his condition. Jaehyun had been fighting leukemia for some time, and although there seemed to be a temporary improvement in his health, his condition worsened rapidly, leading to his untimely death.
Born in 2002, Jaehyun debuted as the youngest member of F.able in June 2020.
He was active with singles such as 'Burn it up', 'Run Run Run', and 'Cloud 9', and in 2023, he even held a solo concert and fan meeting in Osaka, Japan, connecting with fans both domestically and internationally.
However, the group's activities gradually ceased in the second half of 2023, and subsequently, members Junhyung, Jeong, and Sihoon re-debuted in the new group ENPHAZE, marking the de facto disbandment of F.able.
After the disbandment of F.able, Jaehyun did not share any updates, and his battle with leukemia was fought in such privacy that even those close to him were unaware. His sudden passing has left his colleagues in the industry and fans deeply saddened.
It has been reported that Jaehyun's funeral was held quietly in accordance with the wishes of his family.
