Career

edit

Prior to their appearance on Superstar K3, the group was not widely known in South Korea, performing "anywhere, even in the middle of a schoolyard if there was a stage."[5]

During Superstar K3, audiences responded particularly fondly to lead singer Lim's battle with stomach cancer.[5] This led to some speculation that Ulala Session was making up the story of Lim's cancer as a way to garner sympathy during the competition; Lim responded in July 2012 by bringing his doctor on SBS's One Night in TV Entertainment to confirm the diagnosis.[6]

On 11 February 2013, Lim Yoon-taek, leader of Ulala Session, died from gastric cancer.[7][8]
