On January 26, a funeral service was dedicated to the late rapper Iron (Jung Heon Chul, 29) opened in Seoul’s National Medical Center. The rapper’s family and close acquaintances mourn the passing of the rapper privately.
Iron, who attracted attention after appearing as a contestant on Mnet‘s’Show me the money 3‘, passed away on January 25th. Around 10:25 a.m. on this day, a security guard discovers Iron unconscious and bloody in a flower bed near an apartment complex in Jong-go-Seoul. He was pronounced dead shortly after being transported to hospital.
Now, an ‘older sister’A‘or Iron decided to speak to the press, in light of numerous reporters visiting the funeral home and reporting on the rapper’s passing. Iron’s older sister said: “Our family did not intend to request an autopsy at all. The body has already been placed in the coffin. I am upset to see the news reports and say that the police will determine whether they should go through an autopsy or not after dealing with family members. “
‘A’ further added on, “Heon Chul was even in regular contact with the family recently. He tended to be a perfectionist, and he was stressed about music, but he had no health issues.”
Finally, ‘A’ also tells that a former mentee of Iron, who earlier called the police after Iron assaulted him with a baseball bat in December 2020, came to express his condolences on this day. “There are misunderstandings regarding this controversy. The mentee came to express his condolences today. He is not bad with our family. Refrain from any speculation.”
Meanwhile, the late rapper will be buried later this week on January 28th.
