Lee Tae-geun of the late Akdong Club, leaving only his twin daughters..'He was 41 years old'Too early to say goodbye
Lee Tae-geun, a former member of the group Akdong Club, passed away on the 4th at the age of 41.

According to the New Daily on the 5th, Lee Tae-geun died at a hospital in Chungju, Chungcheongbuk-do on the 4th after being hospitalized for a long time after being in critical condition after receiving a booster shot (Pfizer) of the COVID-19 vaccine three years ago. The seal was signed on the 5th with the bereaved family's consultation, and the burial site was not known.

Earlier in February 2022, it was revealed that Lee Tae-geun was in a critical condition after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, causing regret.

At the time, Lee Tae-geun's wife, A, said in a national petition at the Blue House that her husband is living and dying due to the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine," he appealed.

According to A, Lee Tae-geun received a booster shot of the Pfizer vaccine at 5:30 p.m. on December 16, 2021. However, three hours later, he complained of severe dizziness, and on the 21st, his symptoms worsened and he headed to the emergency room.

At that time, he returned home after hearing that there were no abnormalities in blood tests and brain CT tests, but he visited the hospital again on the 23rd after receiving a call from the hospital that he was suspected of bleeding from brain CT. However, bleeding has already occurred in two areas of the brain, and the cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage cannot be found, so treatment methods or plans cannot be made. After hospitalization, he underwent bone marrow examination, cerebrospinal fluid examination, and brain precision MRI, but still did not find the cause of bleeding.

Mr. A said "Lee Tae-geun is in a very critical condition in the intensive care unit. Since he has lost more than 20 kilograms (adult men are 178 centimeters tall and weigh less than 45 kilograms), he is in the worst condition with only bones left without eating anything and getting nutritional supplements. I can barely breathe."

Then "Please help my husband live." I'm having hell days with my 26-month-old little twins."

According to A, Lee Tae-geun complained of severe dizziness three hours after receiving the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine booster shot in December 2021, and then went to the emergency room due to worsening symptoms. At that time, he returned home after hearing that there were no abnormalities in blood tests and brain CT tests, but a few days later, he underwent cerebrovascular angiography due to subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Later, Lee Tae-geun's wife, A, was notified by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that there was no causal relationship between the COVID-19 vaccine's adverse reaction to Lee Tae-geun's symptoms.

Mr. A said "It's frustrating to hear that I can't explain the causal relationship of vaccine side effects even though I got these symptoms after receiving the vaccine. The economic situation broke down due to the treatment costs worth close to hundreds of millions of won and the treatment costs that will go forward."

Meanwhile, Lee Tae-geun made his debut as a group Akdong Club formed through MBC 'Achievement Saturday - Akdong Club' in 2001 and made his name known. After the team's disbandment, he also worked as a DAD and later became a full-time PD.
