Popular Korean YouTuber Cha Cho Hee, better known as Coco Choi, has unfortunately passed away after battling with cancer.

It is with a heavy heart that we are here to announce the death of our dearest friend, Chohee Cha passed away on the 18th of November, 2023. We have been blessed by her presence in our lives, and she will always be remembered by us.
According to the post, the 54-year-old YouTuber was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in the Spring of 2023. She was in the process of recovering after her last chemotherapy in November. In fact, she was scheduled to film a new video for her YouTube channel, but the previous day, her health suddenly deteriorated, and she passed away.
The video looked back at some of her happy moments and urged subscribers to keep her alive in their hearts.
