The passing of Park Kyung-gu, a founding member of the band Busker Busker, has been announced belatedly. He was 38 years old.
On July 7th, Park Kyung-gu’s cousin posted a message on his SNS, conveying the news of his death.
The cousin stated, “It is still hard to believe, but I am conveying the obituary on behalf of the family. We would be grateful if you could join us with warm hearts on my brother’s final journey.”
The funeral for Park Kyung-gu was held at a funeral hall in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, and the funeral procession took place on the 9th.
Following the sudden news, fans expressed their condolences, saying, “This is unexpected and painful news. May he rest in peace,” “I loved all of Kyung-gu’s songs,” and “May he find peace there.”
Jang Beom-june, a founding member and high school classmate, also expressed his condolences by uploading ‘Park Kyung-gu Best Live Clip’ on his YouTube channel. It’s been noted that Jang Beom-june had previously posted a message in March of last year, coinciding with the release of his 4th album ‘Jijilui History (History of Losers),’ saying, “I wish Kyung-gu good health,” which is now being re-examined.
Park Kyung-gu, as a founding member of Busker Busker, played an important role in establishing the team’s unique style. He contributed to the creation of numerous songs, including ‘Difficult Woman,’ ‘A Person Who Suits the Word Love,’ and ‘Between Hongdae and Kunkuk University.’
