Pangya artist dies at a young age

According to the Twitter post of Korean music composer ESTi, the young artist named SeeD has passed away. Known in real life as Park Jeong Hoon, he served as Pangya’s artist for three seasons. After his work in the third season, he then shifted to work on Pangya’s PSP version. Before his untimely passing, he was working on an undisclosed project.

SeeD was born in 1981. According to ESTi’s post, he succumbed to a certain illness, still unrevealed as of press time.

I may not have played Pangya, and Pangya servers may have been shutdown here in the Philippines, but his art is still scattered around posters, ads and websites.

SeeD has left a legacy in Pangya.

May he rest in peace.
