QUOTE
Model-turned-actor Lee Eon (also spelled Lee Un, most famously of Coffee Prince) has died in a motorcycle accident.

The 27-year-old, born Park Sang-min, was on his way home following the wrap party for KBS’s Strongest Chil Woo early on the morning of August 21. He was riding a motorcycle and ran into the guardrail of the overpass, and is said to have died almost immediately.

The news has shocked everyone; online, netizens are abuzz in disbelief. Just the night before, he had been onscreen in Chil Woo’s finale episode, and the sudden news is, to say the least, startling.

Lee Eon got his start modeling, but shot to mainstream levels of fame when he took on the role of simple-hearted but lovable Min Yub in last year’s Coffee Prince. He followed that with a stint as a cable-TV MC, then returned to dramas with Who Are You? and, most recently, Strongest Chil Woo.

RIP.

May he rest in peace.

I am not really familiar of his work (sorry, I haven't watched Coffee Prince), but it is always devastating when someone passes away especially by accident. Death can be really unexpected, but also sometimes uncontrollable. This could be considered as a 'being at the wrong place at the wrong time' situation. Even though he is gone, I'm sure he'll be remembered by many since he has accomplished quite a bit and had a good start in his career.

My condolences to his loved ones and fans.

OMO... this is shocking news! I'm not aware of it until when I saw this! I have really enjoyed his acting in CP. Though I've yet to watch any of his other dramas, he's already very outstanding as an actor in his debut in CP as Min Yub. It's a waste to the entertainment world having lost another budding and good actor.

My deepest condolences to his closed ones.

Prays that he rest in peace.....

OH MY GODDDD!!! "My Angel Boy" is gone????? Omg, I'm about to start crying here!!!! I can't believe it!@!!!!!!! This is... :T_T: :T_T: :T_T: :T_T: :T_T: :T_T: :T_T: :T_T: :T_T: :T_T: :T_T:

Are you serious??? :T_T: :T_T: :T_T: :T_T: :T_T: :T_T:
I'm in shock.Really. He was an amazing actor. I loved his work, and how are they ever going to replace him in Strongest Chil Woo? This is the most devastating news I've heard in a very long time. I just hope Wookie will take good care of himself too.

Seeing Coffee Prince/Who Are You?/ & upcoming drama, Strongest Chil Woo, will never be the same again knowing that you're not here anymore. You were truly a born-star actor.

RIP.

Surprised at this unfortunate accident and death, Lee Eon's fans are even more sadder because of these images on his mini homepage Open Link

They are images of him on an antique style motorcycle from a week before. It isn't the exact one that he was riding before his death, but to see him on one the fans are shocked that this picture would have any meaning.

Another post on his mini homepage that he wrote on the 18th '20 Things To Do' with many appointments and dates filled in. Unfortunartely, these clubs where he was to DJ and trips he planned to go to must be without Lee Eon.

In July, Lee Eon had posted an image with the title 'Too Early To Die'. He definitely had so much ahead of him!
