Dearest Lee Eon,
I actually enjoy your acting in Coffee Prince very much. Your character of Min Yeop is surely very close to yours for you to act so naturally. Simple, kind, sweet and mascularly strong to protect women in distress. To me, you will definitely make an ideal mate for your other half. All I ask of you now is to go peacefully to join our heavenly Father in paradise, leaving your sweet memory and ever-ready-smile in Coffee Prince for me to cherish.
R.I.P God will take care of you in Heaven
