Lee Hyun Do from legendary group Deux talked about his fellow member and friend Kim Sung Jae who tragically passed away at the age of 23.
He was a guest on the June 5th episode of Mnet's 'Spring Summer Fall Winter's Forest'. On the program, he revealed that he had talked to Kim Sung Jae on the day he died. He revealed that back on November 19, 1995, Kim Sung Jae had called him, excited about his successful solo stage. He said, "I was in the United States at the time. I heard his excited voice. He was happy because everyone praised him. We were talking with each other happily."
However, the very next day, Kim Sung Jae was found dead with 28 needle marks on his arms and torso, an animal tranquilizer was also found next to his body. His girlfriend back then had been tried and found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. However, in the consequent trials she was acquitted and found innocent from any crime.
Lee Hyun Do revealed, "I still think about him quite often. I can't help it. A lot of people ask about him, too. I really have a tough time having any sort of good relationship. Anyone who got close to me would ask, 'Who really did it?', and I'd close my heart again. When people ask me that, I say, 'It's just as everyone else knows'. But I feel that it's unfair sometimes, and thought that the world didn't always run based on the truth."
He added, "I still feel daunted when I go out into official places. I feel guilty, but I'm living well. I live by thinking I have to bear with the pain, by adapting. I'm figuring out how to deal with the future. But the relationship I have with Sung Jae is our own and the pain is the same."
The MCs then asked, "Is it true that you dreamed about him before he died?", and he answered, "That's from gossip. But it's true that I do dream about him sometimes. I think it's because I subconsciously miss him. I just take it as I want, cherish it and live my best".
