The song in question was ‘Here With Me’. Even though he shared the playlist in March, some online users stated that d4vd already faced heavy public suspicion by that time. Hence, they felt K-pop idols should be more careful about what they say or share on the internet.
On the other hand, loyal fans defended Sungchan. They pointed out that he might not have known about the investigation at the time. Fans also added that the song was very popular, and several K-pop stars had liked d4vd’s music earlier before the investigation.
For the unversed, in September 2025, Los Angeles police found the body of a 14-year-old girl named Celeste Rivas Hernandez in an abandoned Tesla car linked to d4vd. As per reports, the 14-year-old girl had gone missing earlier in 2025. She was believed to have been in a romantic relationship with d4vd.
