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.
Taking special leave from his military duties, Gong Yoo pays his last respects to his friend and co-star in the drama, Coffee Prince, Lee Eon by leading the funeral procession early August 23rd 2008.
The day earlier on August 22nd, Gong Yoo offered an apology to his friend on his Cyworld minihompy by featuring a photo of him with the words :
“It’s strange. The night before you left, I happened to listen again to the message you read on the radio for me… suddenly, I thought of you and I missed you, and I wanted to call ? I should have called. I should have forced you to change that persistent ring tone. I’m sorry.”
Gong Yoo arrived at the hospital’s funeral room a little after midnight on August 23 for the funeral procession at 4am. Over 100 friends and family attended.
