Wheesung made his debut in 2002 and gained enormous popularity with numerous successful songs such as Can’t We, The Day We Meet Again and Insomnia. However, his career was spoiled by legal problems, since he was sentenced for usual use of propofol between September and November 2019. He was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years.
