Rest in peace Lee Ae-jung

0910-lee-ae-jung6.jpg

Autumn Fairy Tale’s child actress, Lee Ae-Jung (20) passed away on Thursday after suffering from encephaloma, a brain tumor for 18 months. She was diagnoised last year when she went to the hospital and underwent two painful surgeries. Lee’s death shocked everybody because nobody was aware of her illness.

It was later reported that Lee Ae-Jung purposely asked the reporter who wrote about her illness to take it down, because she did not want others to worry about her. She also uploaded only cheerful pictures on her cyworld in an effort to prevent others from finding out about her condition. There’s no doubt in my mind that she was a sweet, thoughtful and considerate actress. Rest In Peace…

*Lee Ae-jung is best remembered for her role as young Shin-ae (later played by Han Chae Young) in hit drama series Autumn Fairy Tale.

    From childhood, she was already a great and convincing actress… Not a lot of kids can pull off the kind of acting she did in Autumn in my Heart… May she rest in peace. It’s so sad when actors and actresses die when their still young. They are missed terribly.

    I knew that there was something wrong with her. I can tell from those eyes of sorrow. She is a great actress and person. I think Ae Jung should que us in on her problem, so we can wish her well. I wish her family well. We will truly miss you Ae Jung. There is nobody like you. You are special.

  20. 20 Gwen September 15, 2007 at 12:43 pm

    -is totally numb- The number of people dying nowadays…

  21. 21 naomi September 15, 2007 at 3:54 pm

    I’m sad to hear about this. She passed away at a very young age and she was very strong for trying to cover her illness, not letting it to affect any one else. It’s terrible that there are so many cases of cancers nowadays.

  22. 22 jason September 19, 2007 at 12:34 pm

    OMFG… this is so sad! I hated her char in autumn in my heart only because she acted so well. I will miss her RIP

  23. 23 Ylma October 11, 2007 at 10:47 am

    this is really sad,died as young age, maybe the reason is for her to rest from her suffering ,anyway she’s a really good actress in autumn tale, may she RIP

  24. 24 Diana October 19, 2007 at 3:37 pm

    I’ll remember you Lee Ae Jung!

  26. 27 Mounarart January 14, 2008 at 4:34 am

    Wow it’s so sad. I just watched half of that drama last night and then I came to look for more of her movie. I actually liked and sympathized more with her character than the main one. I didn’t know she passed away.

    She appeared in:

    Show: Four Sisters (2001) As: Hae-jung (Child)
    Show: Beautiful Days (2001) As: Shin Jae-eun
    Show: Autumn in My Heart (2000) As: Shin-ae (Young)

    I hope she is in a better place now.
