Musician Woo Hye-mi, 31, was found dead in her home on Saturday, according to her friends and police. Woo was a contestant on Mnet's 2012 audition program "The Voice of Korea." There were reportedly no signs of foul play.

가수 우혜미가 토요일 자택에서 숨진 채 지인과 경찰에 발견됐다. 우혜미는 2012년 Mnet 오디션 프로그램 '보이스오브코리아'의 참가자였다. 보도에 따르면 타살의 흔적은 없었다.


According to her colleagues, Woo had been out of contact since Friday. They tried to reach her several times but she didn't answer.

동료들에 따르면 우혜미는 금요일부터 연락이 두절됐다. 지인들이 그녀에게 여러 번 연락을 시도했지만, 대답이 없었다.


"We're sorry to inform you that Woo Hye-mi passed away at home, Saturday," Downtown E&M said in an official announcement on Sunday.

다운타운이엔엠 측은 일요일 "우혜미가 토요일 자택에서 유명을 달리했다는 사실을 알려드리게 돼 안타까운 심정"이라며 공식 입장을 발표했다.


Agency employees said they also tried calling her several times for a meeting.

소속사 직원들은 미팅을 위해 우혜미에게 여러 번 전화 통화를 시도했다고 밝혔다.


"Woo didn't show up at the meeting for her new single's music video. We called her several times but she didn't pick up," the staff said.

한 직원은 "우혜미는 새 싱글 앨범 뮤직비디오 촬영을 위한 회의에 불참했다. 그래서 그녀에게 여러 번 전화했지만 받지 않았다"라고 밝혔다.


Woo competed in "The Voice of Korea" season one in 2012 and was one of the four finalists. She joined Downtown E&M after the show and released her first mini-album "s.s.t" this July. She used Miwoo as her stage name.

우혜미는 2012년 '보이스오브코리아' 시즌 1에 참가해 TOP4에 진출했다. 방송이 종영한 뒤 다운타운이엔엠에 합류해 올 7월 첫 미니앨범 's.s.t'를 발매했다. 그녀는 '미우'라는 예명으로 활동했다.


Son Seung-yeon, one of her closest friends, grieved with a post on Instagram, saying "forgive me for not calling you often." Son also made an appearance on the show.

그녀의 절친 중 한 명인 손승연은 인스타그램에 "먹고 살기 바쁘다고 연락도 자주 못 하고 만나지도 못했던 못난 동생 용서해"라고 글을 올리며 슬픔을 나눴다. 손승연도 보이스오브코리아에 출연했다.


"You liked Amy Winehouse and performed Pilseung for your final performance. You said you were thrilled to rap in front of people, and joked that I can rap too," she noted, reminiscing on the moments she had with Woo.

"언니는 에이미 와인하우스를 좋아했고 보이스오브코리아 마지막 결승무대에서 '필승'을 불렀지. 관객들 앞에서 랩을 할 거라고 좋아했고, 나도 랩 잘할 수 있다며 시덥지 않은 장난도 많이 쳤지"라고 언급하며 우혜미와 함께 했던 순간을 회상했다.


"You should have told me about it when you were in that much pain," Son said. "You were a natural-born musician. I hope you rest in peace."

이어 "이렇게까지 힘들었으면 내게 말을 해줬어야지"라며 "언니는 천생 음악인이었어. 이제 하고 싶은 거 다 하면서 편히 쉬길 바래"라고 말했다.


A memorial is at Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital, and the funeral will be run in private with the family.

고인의 빈소는 서울 강동성심병원 장례식장에 마련됐고, 유족의 뜻에 따라 조용히 장례를 치를 예정이다.
