We are sorry to report that “Turtle Man” (Lim Sung Hoon) from k-pop group Turtles passed away from a heart attack this morning (Korea time). The 38 year old singer was found by his manager lying breathless on his bed and the time of his death is estimated 5-6 hours before he was found. The Turtle Man suffered from myocardial infarction since 2005 and his father passed away from the same condition.
Big and small stars are paying their respect to the late singer as we write this story.
RIP Lim Sung Hoon. You’ll be truly missed.

Are you insane? I don’t know about you but who in world wants to laugh or have “comic relief” when someone has just passed away.
RIP Turtle man. I love their music
To : bored girl
I know seriously right? I forgot to mention about that.. wtheck is Harisu and Superjunior wearign to a funeral? her outfit looks so cheap.. who wears a heart with poka dots at a funeral. And super junior is like wearing sneaks with fashion tops.. wtf? so rude disrespectful they were not taught well as a child. very uneducated
He’s only 38 years old D:
Still young…
..::R.I.P Lim Sung Hoon::..

Taejus
Why don’t you put a gun to your head and pull the trigger. We could use more comic relief here, you ahole.
Wow Taejus. how can you even be that rude and have no respect for a dead man?
His voice was very unique and I was so sad when I heard this..RIP
OMGSH…. i love him!!! i remember i watched a show that he was on…. and he was working very hard and stuff… and he talked about his dad and stuff… SO SAD… his mom must be going though a very hard time!!!
RIP and GOOD LUCK TO HIS FAMILY and his FRIENDS!!! T_T
OMAGAWD!!! HE’S DEAD???
i can’t believe he’s dead…
it was so sudden… :O
i thought it was a belated April fool’s joke…
Rest in peace….
can anyone clarify what mycadial infarction is?
according to wiki it is a heart attack can you suffer from a heart attack for 3 years???
RIP turtleman
I got to see you live a couple of times before you passed away and you will be truly missed

^Guy on the left needs to learn to dress appropriately for a funeral. Seriously, what a ridiculous outfit.
So much bad news this year
Anonymoose:
check out the cast on his arm and the mask. that might explain what he is wearing. I mean the SuperJunior members look the most upset in the pics too…
for those who think that certain people attending the funeral are dressed inappropriately… i’m not completely sure about this but from what i’ve gathered from watching the k-pop scene is that in korea, it seems to be quite the norm for people to dress casually to funerals and even weddings.. it seems that their culture in regards to this is quite different from our perceptions on this matter here in america..
RIP
i didn’t know much about him, but might he rest in peace…he’s with God now
CONGRATULATIONS from
blogrank.info for the hot blog
this is really sad.
their latest album came out not too long ago too.
Rest in peace.
O.M.G. O_o
I have been listening to Turtle’s songs for the past few weeks and reli love their performances. This is so sad.
RIP LSH.
What’s gonna happen to Turtle now T_T
these is so sad
i like that group
Just because someone isn’t decked out in a suit and tie doesn’t mean they aren’t grieving just as much or have less respect for the deceased. Who the hell cares what people are wearing to the funeral anyway? That doesn’t matter; what matters is that a talented man died way too young.
RIP Lim Sung Hoon.
RIP
RIP Turtle Man.. Hope you’re in a better place now..
NO WAY.
when i first saw this i thought it was a joke.
:’( no! what will the group turtle be without

Quite a depressing year we have.
RIP “Turtle Man”
Condolences to his fans, friends, & family.
okay.
i’m listening to their song at the moment.
so its kinda freaky.
i loved turtles since i 1st heard they sang on music bank.
the ’sing lalala’ song.it was catchy and fun.
then i’ve downloaded Unstoppable Marriage OST.
didnt know it was them at 1st but got hooked to it.sad.
RIP uri turtle man!!
gaa…it’s really sad..
what’s gonna happen to turtles?
T-T RIP Sung Hoon oppa…..
He was truly one of the best in the K-pop business full of mediocrity lately (like SNSD and SuJu). He will be missed very much by all his loved ones and fans.
RIP Turtle Man.
you’ll be missed.
my sis must be truly shocked and sad to hear this.
RIP Lee Sung Hoon..
msg for young people. Watch your weight and cholesterol level.Always in balanced and healthy diet. RIP LSH
RIP….
I still can’t believe it…
no… T_T
omg this just ruined my day i really liked his songs
@ TAEJUS
your first comment was rude and completely inappropriate. there are people really mourning his death and you go and try to “lighten the mood” with that kind of comment? i don’t even know you but you completely pissed the hell out of me.
my condolences to turtleman’s family and group. he was a talanted performer and i’ll miss his music =(
Omg T.T i feel sad… he is so young T.T
han you are the dumbest motherf*cking person I think that is in here aside taejus. how the hell are you going to say watch your weight and eat well? that’s like repeating what taejus said in his first comment. He didn’t f*ckin die from that, he had a problem that he couldn’t beat, just like his father…its from genes…you are freakin ridiculous you sh*t.
anyway, RIP I love you LSH!! one of the greatest kpop musicians out there….what will your group be without you? ill miss you…
very unexpected…
you can see kangin&eunhyuk&leeteuk all trying not to cry
anyways, RIP, Turtleman!
i’ll always miss you~
How could I believe it is a truth?!
Or, just an April Fool? I hope so.
OMG i’m really surprised. RIP Turtleman..
RIP Turtlemen =[
This was so unexpected!
RIP, cant belive this was so recent. he was so young and that group was so good, and Singlala just came out.
cmon guys lay off the taejus/han thing. im sure hes realized by now the mistake hes made. everyone does it once in a while. whether what he said was inappropriate or not he is as sorry as anyone else regarding what happened to lim sung hoon.
i hope mr. lim’s family is coping well with his early passing and they should be happy that his music will continue to influence the hearts of others. r.i.p.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
i’m going to cry T_T i loved him
he’s such a great guy^^
you’ll always be in my heart cos you are just so unique and loving.
r.i.p
OMG!!! He just released his new album….
DANKS…. no more nice raps from him….
How is Turtles gonna carry on?? disband??? OMGG!!!!!!!
Turtleman…. rest in peace….
