New Delhi:
Lee Tae Geun, former member of K-pop group Naughty Boys Club, died on September 4 after a two-year battle with an illness that began after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. His funeral took place on August 5. In 2022, it was reported that Lee Tae Geun was suffering from side effects after being vaccinated. At the time, an acquaintance of his shared a post on an online forum, explaining, “Although he had an underlying health condition, he was living happily after having twins. I heard that he was in the intensive care unit after receiving the third dose of the vaccine, and I am posting this because he urgently needs blood.”
The singer reportedly began experiencing symptoms including headaches, vomiting and dizziness just three hours after receiving the vaccine. A subsequent CT scan indicated a possible brain bleed. During that time, his wife said: “The doctor explained that subarachnoid hemorrhages usually occur due to trauma, but in my husband’s case, the bleeding was of unknown origin and there was no clear treatment plan. It is frustrating that they cannot explain the causal relationship between the vaccine and these symptoms.”
She added: “Due to severe headaches, he would sweat every other day, his entire body would become stiff, his fingers and wrists would twitch, and his eyeballs would roll back in his head. These symptoms would last for 10 minutes. My husband’s consciousness is becoming increasingly hazy, and all they do is give him painkillers, sedatives, and Tylenol.”
Lee Tae Geun made his debut in 2001 on an MBC variety show as part of the Naughty Boys Club.
