Singer Jin Denim has passed away at the age of 29, his family confirmed.
According to a statement shared on Jin Denim’s personal Instagram account by his younger sister, the artist passed away on December 17, 2025. The announcement was made public on what would have been his 30th birthday.

Jin Denim had been receiving treatment since 2015 for bipolar affective disorder and psychotic symptoms. According to his family, he was aware of his condition and consistently pursued medical treatment and prescribed medication. However, his symptoms reportedly worsened rapidly in recent times, making the situation increasingly difficult for his family to manage.
Despite his illness, Jin Denim continued to live with faith and sought to share love and belief with those around him. His family stated that impulsive behaviors caused by his condition led to prolonged suffering for both Jin and his loved ones.
The family expressed sincere gratitude to everyone who supported Jin Denim throughout his life and career. They also shared words he often said during his lifetime, encouraging others not to grieve excessively and to remember him with warmth.
“Rather than remembering Jin only through sorrow,” the family said, “we hope he will be remembered through his music and the meaningful memories he left behind.”
Jin Denim released his debut album Dear, Stefi in 2021. While he did not achieve mainstream popularity, he performed at various music festivals, including the New Talents Project Festival 2025 in Barcelona.
