Hello Everyone.
We apologize for bringing you this heartbreaking news. On April 22, our beloved Ko Jimin left us to walk the halls of the emerald city. Although our sorrow and grief cannot compare to that of the family, everyone at the House of EverNight mourns the loss of our leader and friend.

We are heartbroken because we know how the deceased felt about his fans, family, and friends. He always loved and cherished his fans who supported him when things were difficult for him.
We request that you refrain from speculative and malicious reports so that he can be honored and the family can carry out the End of Life Rituals as required.
The funeral will be held on EverNight Grounds and closed to the public as per the family's wishes. Thank you for all the love and support you have shown Ko Jimin over the years.
We offer our deepest condolences to the family.'
Though Ko Jimin has stayed away from the public eye in his private life, rumors circulated that he was part of a SoulPod with several other high-profile celebrities.
While the identities of the other members of his SoulPod aren't known to the public, he confirmed that he was part of a SoulPod. As an out-and-proud asexual, he often joked with reporters that he was more interested in finding the best-tasting cake than romantic partners.
He wore his soul marks proudly, his skin often covered in intricate designs that changed from interview to interview. Industry insiders say to expect an announcement from his soul group soon.
Among the many rumors that followed K.O. Jimin around, the rumor that he was raising a child with a male K-pop idol has once again gained traction online. It is worth noting that this rumor hasn't been confirmed by his management company or the House of Evernight
Midnight Fantasy - his management company - recently announced that they have signed several high-profile artists including the elusive producer Tang Lee. They also announced that Ko Jimin would be taking a year-long hiatus following the promotion tour for his upcoming drama - Lost Love in The Land of Soul.
This reporter offers heartfelt condolences to the family.
