New Video Drop: JINBO Releases "So To Speak" MV featuring Crush and Hoody in honor of South Korean artist who died a "suspicious death"

by Nefertiti Jenkins

Korean R&B singer JINBO has dropped the video for his collaboration work with R&B singers Crush and Hoody. The mv for "So To Speak" was released on August 14 on YouTube. The track honors with a cover, a hip-hop icon (or first generation kpop idol) in South Korea, who died a suspicious death on November 20, 1995.

Rapper/Singer Kim SungJae was a member of the '90s duo DEUX, and died after his solo debut performance on SBS. According to online reports, the 23-year-old went to a hotel after the performance with his girlfriend and crew, but was found dead the next day at the hotel with 28 needle marks on him. An autopsy found traces of an animal anesthetic, or animal stimulant in his body.

According to online reports, his girlfriend was arrested for the alleged murder of Kim and was sentenced, but was acquitted due to the "lack of evidence." The case is considered an unsolved mystery. Back in April of 2018, a petition with the title, "Please Reinvestigate Kim Sung Jae's Case" was started by fans.

The new music video from JINBO includes the hashtags #KIMSUNGJAE #DEUX and #SOTOSPEAK. And at the credits, it says "please share this clip so more people can learn about the suspicious death of Kim SungJae." On Intagram singer Crush writes...
...an amazing young star who died under very suspicious circumstances. Please share and support the cause to reopen the case of Kim SungJae.
