Following the tragic deaths of Sulli (real name, Choi Jin-ri) and Goo Hara, just six weeks apart, rookie actor and Surprise U member Cha In-ha is the latest Korean celebrity to pass away suddenly.
The 27-year-old, whose real name is Lee Jae-ho, was discovered dead on Tuesday by his manager. While the details of his passing are unknown, his agency Fantagio (home to K-pop groups like Astro and Weki Meki and actor Seo Kang-joon) released a statement asking the public to refrain from speculation while the cause of death is being investigated.

Cha was starring in the currently airing romcom Love with Flaws, headlined by Oh Yeon-seo and Ahn Jae-hyun. He played bartender Joo Won-seok, one of Joo Seo-yeon’s (Oh Yeon-seo) three handsome brothers.
The K-drama is about Lee Kang-woo (Ahn Jae-hyun), a handsome and narcissistic man who was once ugly, and PE teacher Seo-yeon, who despises such men. Despite rocky beginnings, the couple finds happiness with each other after getting past their initial misunderstandings and prejudice.
2. He debuted in 2017 as a member of Suprise U


Debuting as a five-piece group comprised of Fantagio actors in 2017, the members of Surprise U were also able singers. Together with Kim Hyun-seo, Yoon Jeong-hyuk, Eun Hae-seong and Ji Geon-woo, the group released a mini album titled “I Do” in 2017, as well as the track Stay, off the soundtrack of webtoon Treinz.
Cha’s film debut was in the short film, You, Deep Inside of Me. Surprise U’s debut programme, Love Fever, was a romcom web drama about a group of boys and girls currently in-between jobs, who through a series of misunderstandings are mistaken as K-pop idols in the countryside.
The show starred label mates Choi Yoo-jung and Kim Do-yeon (of IOI and Weki Meki fame), Seo Kang-joon, and had a cameo by Ong Seong-wu (of Wanna One fame).
