Oh, man.
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.

I can’t believe it. Just a few minutes ago I was watching Coffe Prince online, and thinking how absolutely adorable he is in that show, and how much potential he las. It’s hard to accept that he’s just .. gone. There will be no more dramas in which we will see him, and Coffee Prince will never be the same after reading this news.

I can’t believe it. It just can’t be true. He was so good in Coffee Prince. He was smart, he was good looking…he just can’t be dead!! Holy crap, I’m starting to cry. TToTT

only God Knows Why…
sob..sob..
to My Dear Lee Eon, May u rest in peace!
am so sad, thx coffee prince make me know u ,i will remember u forever.wish u live in heaven .goodbye LEE Eon.
I can’t believe it! I just finished watching the drama Coffee Prince and someone commented “R.I.P. Min Yeop, you were a great actor” but I didn’t think anything of it because I was so into the last episode and then when I started reading all the comments- I realized!
I couldn’t believe it and I still can’t. I loved Lee Eons character on Coffee Prince. He just seems so loveable… this is really sad. Recently I’m running into dramas where I hear a character in there passes away. Depressing, really. Gosh….
I guess this makes me realize that one moment you couldn’t living your life and the next you could be gone. . .
I hope you’re well off Lee Eon. Love && Peace. <3
aWw..now there wont be coffee prince season 2..:(
my god .. i loved his character on coffee prince i feel like crying because of this
Lee Eon. I live in the USA and only just learned Korean so I began to watch Korean shows and movies. I am sorry this is so late, but I want you to know that you are not forgotten and all of your fans love and miss you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Rest in peace, Lee Eon.
