Music career
Heo was known for her sexually provocative image throughout her short music career. Early in her music career, she attempted to create a sexier appearance through plastic surgery, in order to appeal to a larger fan base. Although successful in achieving a sexy image, the changes were quite drastic in comparison to her previous appearance, and did not contribute to increased album sales. Instead of being known as a talented singer, she became more famous for her unusually large chest, as a result of breast implants. Due to declining music industry in Korea, her record label decided that album sales alone was not enough to produce profit, and chose to market her as a sexy singer. Fans of her music decreased while fans of her new sexy look increased, who often urged the singer to reveal herself in Korean edition of Playboy as well as other adult entertainment publications. Heo, who was soft-spoken and reserved in real life, found this difficult to bear.
Suicide
U;Nee died at her home in Seo-gu, Incheon, South Korea on January 21, 2007 after hanging herself.
U;Nee was supposed to begin filming her first music video of her 3rd album on the 22nd of January which was to be released on February 1, 2007, the same time as her comeback.
In the morning of January 21, 2007, U;Nee's mother, grandmother, and uncle left for church at 10 am. During that time, U;Nee had hung herself in her room 2 meters high from the door frame. Her grandmother found her around 12:50pm and immediately dialed emergency help.
Despite her death, U;Nee's management company has stated that they will release her 3rd album as planned on February 1st.
Several stars and friends came to the prayer service held for U;Nee including Maya, Lee Seung Hwan, Kim Jin Pyo, Lee Hwa Sun, Lee Ki Chan, So Yoo Jin, and Park Ye Jin. Maya stated in a short interview that the day before her death, she had received a text message from U;Nee saying hello so the news of her death came as quite a shock.
Rumor across many Korean sites as far as reason for her death was her bout with depression over her lackluster sales for her albums as well as criticism about her image. After her death, her body was transported to World Hospital. The family has planned to have her body cremated.
Soon after her death, her mother held a press conference at the hospital in order to squash any rumors. She confirmed that U;Nee dealt with bouts of depression and was on medication for her condition. U;Nee was apparently very introverted and suffered from all the pressure she received even as a young child.

미안 난 여기까진 것 같아
현실은 우릴 계속 쫓아와
내 꿈은 두고 갈게
못다 한 얘기는 언젠가는 꼭 하자
그땐 각자 위치에서 만나
그때는 내가 살게
그렇게 또 한 명의 꿈이 내 뒤에서 멀어져
시절이 돼버렸고 앞자리는 3에 접어들어
이렇게까지 오는데 대체 몇 명이 넘어졌지?
내 친구 널 기억해
넌 진 게 아냐 절대로
우리들을 무섭게 쫓아오던 현실과
이제는 나란히 걷기에
난 이제 도망가볼게
네 짐은 내가 맡을게
그래서 어디 가는 데라고
누군가 물어보면 대답은 못 해
도망가
도망가
도망가
도망가
도망가 아무도 없는 곳으로 말이야
끝엔 뭐가 있을지 몰라 나도
네 꿈은 가져갈게
도망쳐서 도착한 곳에는
낙원은 없는 거라고
누군가 말했지만
사실은 이 길에 도착이란 건 없어
우리는 끝없는 과정에 놓여 있어
이 정도 하면 뭔가 보일 줄 알았는데
또 현실이 닥쳐온다
뒤는 내가 맡을게 일단 가
엘비야 돌아보지 말고 하나 둘 셋 하면
도망가
도망가
도망가
도망가
도망가 아무도 없는 곳으로 말이야
끝엔 뭐가 있을지 몰라 나도
네 꿈은 가져갈게
The lyrics of U;Nee's song "Run Away" talks about a teen who feels hopeless and thinks that the world is going to end soon. The song starts with the teen saying "no future," describing their belief that the world is doomed and everyone will die in two years. The teen believes that poison is the only true way out, and they are slowly trying to ignore everything around them. They are only fifteen years old, and they have already given up on the world's fun and do not start anything.
The song describes the teen's belief that the world is like Hiroshima and is going to ashes. The train representing the world is speeding towards the cliff, and the brakes are broken, indicating there is no way to stop the end. The chorus repeatedly says how the teen is running and running to get away from the world, but they cannot run away from themselves.
The song also talks about how the singer understands the teen's belief but does not want to go on that path with them. The singer acknowledges that they would not be able to sing anymore if they had given up hope, and the world is still run by the same people. The singer mentions Che Guevara and Luther King, who sacrificed their lives for a better cause, and their deaths should not be for nothing.
