Singer Yoon Jong-shin has shared his heartfelt memories of the late Kim Sung-jae, a member of the iconic duo DEUX, on the 30th anniversary of his passing.

On November 20th, Yoon Jong-shin posted a photo of a young Kim Sung-jae on his social media with the caption, 'Are you well? Today marks 30 years since Sung-jae left us.' The accompanying background music, DEUX's hit song 'To You,' added to the poignant atmosphere.

Every year on November 20th, the anniversary of Kim Sung-jae's death, Yoon Jong-shin consistently expresses his enduring friendship through messages like 'Are you well?' and 'I miss you, Sung-jae,' often accompanied by his photos. In 2017, he featured a photo of Kim Sung-wook, Kim Sung-jae's younger brother, on the album jacket for his song 'The Last Moment' from the 'Monthly Yoon Jong-shin' project, aiming to offer comfort to Kim Sung-wook, who had not only lost his brother but also his wife.

Kim Sung-jae, who debuted with DEUX in 1993, was beloved for numerous hits such as 'As Summer Goes By' and 'Look Back at Me.' He embarked on a solo career in 1995, releasing the song 'As If You Know.' Tragically, on November 20th of that same year, he was found deceased at the young age of 24, sending shockwaves of grief through the music industry and his fanbase.

Fans remember Kim Sung-jae every year on this day, listening to his music and cherishing him as an eternal icon of youth.

Netizens commented, 'It's hard to believe it's been 30 years,' 'Rest in peace, Kim Sung-jae,' and 'Thanks to Yoon Jong-shin, we can remember him and not forget.'
