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.

Your comment isnt even funny. Shut the fuck up.
I agree with you! But don’t you think the 2nd sentence of your comment is kinda.. too rude? :O
How could you still be so cheerful when you know someone was dead?! Do you really own a heart?! Do you do that too if one of your relatives died?! (But I didn’t mean that your relative will die..)

Stay there and you’ll live in your real home”
