Proceeding with proper funeral arrangements, Lee Dong Gun returned to Korea from Sydney Australia, bringing with him the urn containing the cremated ashes of his younger brother Lee Joon Yub (21).
Lee Joon Yub was murdered on March 21st in Sydney in a fight with two Chinese hoodlums, Ivan Lee and Michael Wong who were later arrested for murder. Both men are rumored to be associated with an underworld crime organization.
The urn will be housed in the mourning hall of Samsung Medical Center for 4 days so that formal respects can be paid to the body. Catholic mass will be observed for the body on March 31st.
Also in mourning attendance was Han Ji Hye, Lee Dong Gun’s former girlfriend. It’s touching to see that there are no sour feelings between the two exes.
A funeral was held for Lee Dong-gun’s brother at St. John’s College Chapel (below) in the University of Sydney on March 26th.Lee Dong-gun is going through a tough year so far – break up with actress girlfriend Han Ji-hye in January and now the tragic death of his younger brother.
We here at POPSEOUL! offer our deepest condolences to Lee Dong Gun and his family.

Deepest Condolences for him and his family.
get better LDG
condolences for the worn out looking lee dong gun and his family…
may his brother rest in peace…
stupid chinese
What do you mean by saying, “stupid Chinese”?
I’m just wondering. =}
DAmn, how sad, his eyes look like he has been crying, AWWW, how sad! Wish him the best!
yeah… it is sad news but what’s done is done… please dont stereo type ethnic groups, every group has its rotten seeds….
what’s eased a little bit the mood is the fact that Han Ji Hye decided to pay respect to his brother despite her recent brake up. It creates some admiration for her, because most of the time when couples brake up they try to distance themselves from each other after that.
Eternal rest grant unto LEE JOON YUB, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of Christ rest in peace. Amen.

So sad when hearing this news! My condolences to Lee Dong Gun and his family. He had to suffer a lot of bad news within this year. Rest in peace, Dong Gun’s younger brother. The crimes of two Chinese men are so terrible and they will obviously receive hardest punishments.
