Rapper Iron‘s older sister has personally confirmed that Iron’s body will not undergo an autopsy. She also emphasized that Iron was a nicer person than the media made him out to be.
Following the news of his passing, Iron’s funeral was held at the National Medical Center in Seoul. At the funeral, his older sister met with Edaily to clear up some of the rumors surrounding Iron’s passing and the immediate future plans.
From the start, our family had no intentions of carrying out an autopsy on Iron. We already completed the coffin rites (placing his body in the coffin) earlier this afternoon, at 2pm.
It’s heartbreaking to see articles saying that the police are discussing with the bereaved’s family to decide whether to conduct an autopsy or not, as well as other related speculation.

Iron’s older sister politely declined the interviewer’s request for the cause of death, she instead shared that Iron was still in contact with the family until just recently. She also dispelled any potential rumors about his assault case from December.
Heon Chul (Iron’s real name) had been in contact with the family up until recently. He was stressed about his music because he is a perfectionist, but he did not have any health problems.
The student in question, relating to the December assault case, came to pay his respects to Iron today. There are many things that are different from what is made public, and the student does not have a bad relationship with us either. We hope you will refrain from writing speculative articles.
