RIP Eon

i woke up this morning finding more than 15 unread text messages in my handy phone. i was stunned with the first message i read. my friend said Eon died. no details whatsoever. so i was soooo shocked and i really can't believe it was true. so i read the next few messages and a lot of my friends were swearing already, because it's confirmed already, he's dead. i wanted to cry. but i have to read the news first. they said he died in a motorcycle accident a few hours past midnight. i dont know if he was drunk or it was really just an accident. i don't know how to react, what to text back. he's our dear jihun's best buddy, yeh's close friend. we love him too,for sure you saw him in coffee prince, and he really is a pretty funny guy, and he will be surely missed by a lot of people. just last year, jihun was in a motorcycle accident too, he had surgery for his shoulder. it was really scary when we knew about it last year. and now, another guy that we like is a victim of the same accident. i'll post a few articles about eon's death, i'll post some pics too.. yeh was seen in the hospital, with her puffy eyes and black attire.. jae wook was there too.. im wonderin when we'll see jihun.. haaay.. his remains is still in the hospital, funeral will be on the 23rd..

"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."
