According to a report by Soompi, Lee Min's agency BrandNew Music, confirmed her passing on August 6.
“Last night, Lee Min's husband discovered her when he returned home,” the agency stated. “The police are conducting an investigation. We ask that people refrain from excessive speculation until the results are released.”
In a separate report by The Korea Herald, a representative from the agency also confirmed the news to Korean outlet Hankook Ilbo.

Crystal, Lee's longtime music partner in As One and now residing in the United States, was reportedly flying back to South Korea upon hearing the heartbreaking news.
Lee Min was born in 1978 and made her debut with As One in 1999.
Together with Crystal, the duo was known for R&B songs such as “For the Night,” “Day By Day,” “Happy Song,” and “Desire and Hope.”
