Model and actor, Lee Eon’s tragic and sudden death has come as a shock to the entire entertainment community. Family, friends and fans are still reeling in disbelief at the loss. The stars have been coming to pay their last respects to the actor at Soon-chun-hyung University hospital since the early morning. One of the first to pay respects, Yun Eun-hye arrived in tears as did fellow Coffee Prince co-star Kim Jae-wook. His co-star Eric received the phone call at soon after the accident at 3 am and headed directly to the hospital along with cast and crew.
More details are surfacing regarding the crash. The accident occurred at approximately 1:30 am. Soon after, emergency crews arrived and performed CPR, but the actor was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. The police suspect drinking was the cause of the accident, but Lee Eon’s manager maintains that the actor rarely drinks and usually gets driven around rather than taking the motorbike. Police are still trying to piece together what happened.
Lee Eon trained as a wrestler since elementary school until his 1st year of university. After losing 30kg, he switched careers to become a model. The model/actor also moonlighted as DJ Sangmin at Club Mass in Kangnam.
Funeral service and cremation will be held on August 23rd 2008.
