Lee Eon Passes Away in Motorbike Accident

Lee Eon (real name: Park Sang Min) has left the world at the age of 27 following a motorbike accident earlier this morning. (sounds unbelievable and surreal)

Lee Eon had attended the post-wrap party for his drama “Strongest Chilwoo” which ended early this morning and was already back home. But he was out again soon to the club where he worked as a DJ on his motorbike when the unfortunate happened. He lost control of his motorbike and rammed into the guardrail of an overpass. It was later announced that he had broken his neck on impact and died instantly. (could he be intoxicated?)

Lee Eon’s management expressed, “He doesn’t ride a motorbike normally. And he doesn’t drink either. During the first gathering, he didn’t drink at all. But I am not sure for the second gathering.” Lee Eon’s parents are now in Seoul handing his funeral and they are pretty devastated by this as he’s their only child. “Because of work, he isn’t by his parents side often. And thus I can understand how devastated they must be at losing their only child from this.”

Lee Eon’s last role was as an assassin in “Strongest Chilwoo” which just ended two days ago and it’s still quite unbelievable to many who are just learning of the truth right now. His most memorable role must be the one last year in “Coffee Shop 1st Prince” which made him more known to the world.

  15. this is really a tragedy at so young an age. so surreal to still be able to watch him in strongest chilwoo (it is still playing mon-tue here in manila via KBS world) and to know that in reality he is gone. i loved him in k-dramas coffee prince and in who are you (just this year!)… he will be sorely missed. i hope his death will not be in vain and that it serves as a lesson for people to really be careful while on the road…

  16. his co-stars from coffee prince are surely shocked too! totally heart breaking especially when i reminisce his smiles.

  17. RIP…. I will never forget how his smile made me
    happy while watching coffee prince.. he was such
    a genuine soul.. his death is a blow…. RIP

    and now he’s dead..

    You’ll Never Walk Alone.
