Lee Jan-jin, member of the group Sechs Kies from the 90s, didn't return after a five-day military leave. He was in the army unit in Gyeonggi Province and his last call was to his unit commander.
A source from military said that the former singer went to military hospitals for depression, which was caused by the deaths of his parents and a few problems concerning his music career.
His family and friends didn't wish to comment on the situation. Meanwhile, the authorities haven't released any details about the investigation.
