J. Yoon of prominent South Korean rock band M.C the Max was found dead at home on Thursday.
The singer, born Yoon Jae-young, was 39, and had been part of the band since 2000. His agency, 325 E&C, reportedly contacted the Seoul police when it was unable to contact J. Yoon, and shared the news in an official statement on Thursday, expressing grief on part of the rest of the band. Homicide is not suspected.
M.C the Max started in 2000 as Moon Child, and after changing its name, grew to become one of South Korea’s biggest hit-making groups, known mostly for power ballads.
