New developments were uncovered in the death of actor, Lee Eon. The so-called accident may not have been an accident. The Coffee Prince actor’s management claim that the likelihood of a deliberate hit and run is high. Based on the CCTV footage (CCTV cameras are installed on almost every intersection in Seoul), Lee Eon’s motorbike was rolling along without the rider, about 100 meters from the accident site and soon after a black car, flashing their hazard lights, and a taxi passed by. Lee Eon’s management added that someone must have hit the bike from behind since it some distance ahead.

Although Lee Eon was driven home that tragic night by his management, the actor was in a sudden rush to go somewhere later on since he borrowed the Ducati from a friend.

The Yongsan police are still investigating the cause of the accident.

It’s sad to hear when someone so young dies.

Model turned actor Lee Eon has died tragically in a motorcycle accident early this morning on his way from from a wrap-up party for for KBS’s drama Strongest Chil Woo. The 27 year old crashed into the guard rail of the elevated roadway in Hanam-dong. He is said to have died on impact.

As a resident of this city, that particular strip of elevated road is banked, curved and not well maintained. In other words, dangerous.

Yongsan police have released a statement that they yet to rule out whether he was riding under the influence of alcohol.

Having his start in modeling, Lee Eon rose to fame in last year’s successful drama, Coffee Prince.

Lee Eon’s funeral will start today at Soon-cheon-hyang University Hospital in Hanam-dong.
