Chun received our gifts!
Stars mourn Eon
Celebrities came garbed in funeral blacks to pay their respects to their deceased colleague/co-star/friend at the mortuary area in the hospital where the deceased’s body is being kept until the funeral service. Yoon Eun-hye arrived in tears at Seoul’s Soon Chun Hyang University Hospital, as did fellow Coffee Prince co-star Kim Jae-wook, who appears to still be stunned, reportedly sobbing as he kept his face hidden behind his hair. (Pics of the stars, and in particular Kim Jae-wook, make me feel uncomfortably voyeuristic; I admit to an interest in seeing pics, but not when they are clearly intrusive in such a raw moment.)
His co-star from drama Strongest Chil Woo, actor Yoo Ah-in, also showed up, grim-faced. If you’re wondering why certain people haven’t yet paid their respects, I’m sure they’ll be making their way to the funeral area as they learn about the accident today. I haven’t seen pics of the rest of his Chil Woo castmates, but apparently they were among the earliest to receive word. Eric received the phone call at 3am and headed directly to the hospital, along with cast and crew members, including Gu Hye-sun and PD Park Man-young.
Others who came by were former co-star Ryu Deok-hwan, and supermodel Park Dool-seon. (She is one of the main stars of modeling reality show I Am a Model, which Lee Eon was involved with; he had also reportedly dated supermodel Jang Yoon-joo, one of Park Dool-seon’s colleagues.)
His mother understandably was in a huge state of shock, and apparently still in denial; she resisted being led to the funeral room, wanting to go to a hospital room instead, as though unable to digest the truth.
Also, a report was issued contradicting early beliefs that the accident occurred on Lee Eon’s way home after the Chil Woo wrap party. A new report suggests that Lee Eon had already arrived home, then left again, after which he was in the accident. Some sources speculate that he had been on the way to the club where he had worked as a DJ. I’m sure these details will be sorted out in due time.
As to questions of his sobriety at the time of his death, police have stated that tests will be conducted to determine whether he was drunk, but will not have the results for approximately a week. Lee Eon is, however, reported to not be much of a drinker.
PD Lee Yoon-jung, who’d directed Lee Eon in Coffee Prince, also shared her words of grief, saying, “I don’t know what to say. I plan to pay my respects tonight. Lee Eon had a special passion for acting and was always a source of support for staff on the film set. He was a good person.”
The funeral service is planned for August 23. Other details as yet unconfirmed.

RIP Eon
Name: 이언 / Lee Un (Lee Eon / Eon);
Real name: 박상민 / Park Sang Min
Profession: Actor and model
Birthdate: 1981-Feb-05
Date of death: 2008-Aug-21

"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."
another one..
"Lee Eon had attended the post-wrap party for his drama “Strongest Chilwoo” which ended early this morning and rode his motorcycle back home when the unfortunate thing happened. He was believed to have rammed into the guardrail of an overpass and died on the spot. (Could he been intoxicated?)
Lee Eon’s management expressed, “He doesn’t ride a motorcycle 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."
and last one, saying that the road where he died is really dangerous, so i hope they do something about it so that nothing like this will happen again..
"It’s sad to hear when someone so young dies.
Model turned actor Lee Eon has died 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."

our Baby Zac is sick! waaaaah!
here's an article about sepsis if u wanna know more about it, helpful din to pra sa mga future moms kase kahit habang buntis pa, malalaman mo na if u have the bacteria that causes sepsis..
Sepsis is a serious infection usually caused by bacteria — which can originate in many body parts, such as the lungs, intestines, urinary tract, or skin — that make toxins that cause the immune system to attack the body's own organs and tissues.
Sepsis can be frightening because it can lead to serious complications that affect the kidneys, lungs, brain, and hearing, and can even cause death. Sepsis can affect people of any age, but is more common in:
infants under 3 months, whose immune systems haven't developed enough to fight off overwhelming infections
the elderly
people with chronic medical conditions
those whose immune systems are compromised from conditions such as HIV
If your infant has a rectal temperature of 100.4° Fahrenheit (38° Celsius), seems lethargic, irritable, uninterested in eating, or seems to be having difficulty breathing or appears ill, call your doctor right away.
In an older child, symptoms may include a fever; your child may also seem lethargic, irritable, confused, have trouble breathing, have a rash, appear ill, or may complain that his or her heart feels like it's racing. Call your doctor right away if your child has these symptoms.
About Sepsis
Sepsis occurs when a serious infection causes the body's normal reaction to infection to go into overdrive. With sepsis, bacteria and the toxins they create cause changes in a person's body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure, and can result in dysfunction of the body's organs.
Signs and Symptoms
Sepsis in newborns can produce a wide variety of symptoms. Frequently, these babies "just don't look right" to their caretakers.
Symptoms of sepsis in newborns and young infants include:
disinterest or difficulty in feeding, or vomiting
fever (above 100.4° Fahrenheit [38° Celsius] rectally) or sometimes low, unstable temperatures
irritability or increased crankiness
lethargy (not interacting and listless)
decreased tone (floppiness)
changes in heart rate — either faster than normal (early sepsis) or significantly slower than usual (late sepsis, usually associated with shock)
breathing very quickly or difficulty breathing
periods where the baby seems to stop breathing for more than 10 seconds (apnea)
change in skin color — becoming pale or blue
jaundice (when the skin and eyes look yellow)
rash
decreased amount of urine
Older children who have sepsis might have a fever, vomiting, a rash, change in skin color, trouble breathing, feel like their hearts are racing, or may be lethargic, irritable, or confused. A child with sepsis may have started with an infection such as cellulitis or pneumonia that seems to be spreading and getting worse, not better.
Causes of Sepsis
Bacteria are almost always the cause of sepsis in newborns and infants. Bacteria such as E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Salmonella, and Group B streptococcus (GBS) are the more common culprits in sepsis in newborns and infants younger than 3 months.
Premature babies receiving neonatal intensive care are particularly susceptible to sepsis because their immune systems are even more underdeveloped than other babies, and they typically undergo invasive procedures involving long-term intravenous (IV) lines, multiple catheters, and breathing through a tube attached to a ventilator. The incisions an infant gets for catheters or other tubes can provide a path for bacteria, some of which normally live on the skin's surface, to get inside the baby's body and cause an infection.
In some cases of sepsis in newborns, bacteria enter the baby's body from the mother during pregnancy, labor, or delivery. Some pregnancy complications that can increase the risk of sepsis for a newborn include:
maternal fever during labor
an infection in the uterus or placenta
premature rupture of the amniotic sac (before 37 weeks of gestation)
rupture of the amniotic sac very early in labor (18 hours or more before delivery)
Some bacteria (GBS in particular) can be acquired by the newborn during delivery — 15 to 30% of pregnant women carry the bacterium for GBS in the vagina or rectum, where it can be passed from mother to child during delivery.
Diagnosing and Treating Sepsis
Because symptoms of sepsis can be vague in infants, laboratory tests play a crucial role in confirming or ruling out sepsis:
Blood tests (including white blood cell counts) and blood cultures may be taken to determine whether bacteria are present in the blood. Other blood tests may be done to see how well certain organs, such as the liver and kidneys, are functioning.
Urine is usually collected by inserting a sterile catheter into the baby's bladder through the urethra for a few seconds to remove urine; this will be examined under a microscope and cultured to check for the presence of bacteria.
A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) may be performed, depending on the baby's age and overall appearance. A sample of cerebrospinal fluid will be tested and cultured to determine if the baby could have meningitis.
X-rays, especially of the chest (to make sure there isn't pneumonia), are sometimes taken.
If the baby has any kind of medical tubes running into the body (such as IV tubes, catheters, or shunts), the fluids inside those tubes may be tested for signs of infection.
Sepsis, or even suspected cases of sepsis in infants, will be treated in the hospital, where doctors can closely watch the child and administer strong antibiotics intravenously to fight the infection.
Typically, doctors start infants with sepsis on antibiotics right away — even before the diagnosis is confirmed. If needed, they may start them on IV fluids to keep them hydrated, blood pressure medication to keep their hearts working properly, and respirators to help them breathe.
Preventing Sepsis
Although there's no way to prevent all types of sepsis, some cases can be avoided, namely the transmission of GBS bacteria from mother to child during childbirth. Pregnant women can have a simple swab test between the 35th and 37th weeks of pregnancy to determine if they carry the GBS bacteria.
If a woman tests positive for GBS, she can receive intravenous antibiotics during labor. It is best if these antibiotics are given at least 4 hours before delivery, so women who are GBS positive may need to go to the hospital earlier in labor than others.
Women are at higher risk of carrying GBS if they have a fever during labor, if the amniotic sac ruptures prematurely, or if they had other children with sepsis or other diseases triggered by GBS, such as pneumonia or meningitis. A woman who has not been tested for GBS, but has one of these risk factors, can receive IV antibiotics during labor to lower the risk of transmission to her child.
Another way to help prevent some types of sepsis is through vaccination. Immunizations routinely given to infants today include vaccinations against certain strains of pneumococcus and Haemophilus influenzae type b that can cause sepsis or occult bacteremia, an infection of the blood.
Hand washing can go a long way toward preventing infection. Also make sure that people who come near your baby are not sick and have been fully vaccinated. For children with indwelling medical devices, such as catheters or long-term IV lines, make sure to follow the doctor's directions for cleaning and accessing the site.
When to Call the Doctor
Symptoms of sepsis can be very difficult to identify in newborns and young infants, so call your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical care if your baby shows any of these symptoms:
vomiting or difficulty or continued disinterest in feeding
fever (100.4° Fahrenheit [38° Celsius] and above rectal temperature) in newborns and young infants
labored or unusual breathing
change in skin color (paler than usual or mildly bluish) or a rash
listlessness or lethargy
change in the sound of the baby's cry or excessive crying
change in baby's muscle tone — either seeming too stiff or especially floppy
a slower or faster heart rate than usual
bulging or fullness of the "soft spot" on the baby's head
decreased amount of urine
any type of behavior or appearance that concerns you
If your older child has fever, vomiting, a rash, trouble breathing, change in skin color, feels like his or her heart is racing, or is lethargic, irritable, or confused, call the doctor or get emergency medical care immediately.
These signs don't necessarily mean a child has sepsis, but it's important to let the doctor know about symptoms to make sure an infection is caught before it becomes more severe.
