It has been 21 years since the late Seo Jae-ho, a member of the group Wanted, passed away.

Seo Jae-ho passed away on August 11, 2004, at the age of 23.

According to the police at the time, the deceased was involved in a major accident when the vehicle driven by his manager collided with a 5-ton cargo truck on the upward lane of the Central Expressway near Punggi-myeon, Yeongju.

In this accident, the deceased, along with Wanted members Ha Dong-kyun and Kim Jae-seok, as well as three coordinators, suffered serious injuries. It was reported that the manager fell asleep at the wheel due to fatigue, leading to the accident.

Three years after his passing, Wanted released a new regular album after three years. They revealed an unreleased song sung by the deceased, "Fly Me to the Moon," which brought a sense of melancholy.

Born in 1981, the late Seo Jae-ho debuted as a member of the group Seven Days in 2002. Originally, Seven Days consisted of Seo Jae-ho, Lee Jung, Ha Dong-kyun, Choi Young-jun, and Jeon Sang-hwan.

To commemorate the late Seo Jae-ho, fellow singer the late Wheesung released a song titled "Dear My Friend" on his third regular album, featuring Lee Jung and Ha Dong-kyun.

Additionally, the band Resurrection also paid tribute to the deceased by releasing an instrumental track titled "Second 8.1.1" on their 10th regular album, which was released a few months before the first anniversary of his passing.
