RIP Kim Jung Gi, the biggest Korean illustrator and the person behind superm tiger mural

He was srsly a big legend in art world

All of art twitter and ig are mourning him

This is really sad

He was young, his passing must be very hard on his family.

that's terrible to have chest point go in for surgery and just pass away rip

It was super sudden too

he was just touring his exhibits

I don't think his family was even with him

That's absolutely crazy the message leaves a lot to be confused about. He had chest pains but than was going in for surgery. I'd like to know what exactly was wrong that he needed surgery and didn't make it through? I assume heart problems of course but what exactly. he was so young. I wonder if flying made it worse or if he even knew if he had problems.

Heart problems can creep on you out of no where

my dad didn't know he just heart problems

He went for a routine annual check up and they ended up sending him directly to hospital

he never even felt pain but according to doctor if he didn't get surgery asap he could have and heart attack at any moment

oh that's crazy. I hope he was doing well after that with no complications. I suffer from high blood pressure and shit, thankfully no major heart issues right now.

Yes that was 10 years ago

My dad lived a very unhealthy 20s but I catched up to him later
