Na Dong-hyun, a pioneering South Korean YouTuber known as Buzzbean11, has died at the age of 46 after complaining of chest pains during a five-hour livestream. The influencer, who had 1.46 million subscribers and 1.6 billion views on his channel, was found dead at his home in Seoul on Saturday morning.
Police were alerted after he missed a meeting and failed to answer calls. Officers found no signs of foul play, and an autopsy is pending to determine the exact cause of death, which is believed to be heart-related. In his final livestream, Buzzbean11 mentioned getting only about three hours of sleep after preparing for Seoul Fashion Week.
Fans have flooded his latest video with tributes, remembering him as a source of comfort and inspiration. One wrote: 'When my depression was severe, I would listen to your live broadcast at dawn and fall asleep with peace of mind. But you're suddenly gone... I still can't believe it.' His funeral took place on Sunday at Konkuk University Medical Centre.
