[news] 082108 Eric was "planning on a 1N2D trip with Lee Eon"
Model/actor Lee Eon's death has come as a sudden shock to the Korean entertainment industry.
27-year-old Lee Eon, whose real name is Park Sang Min, passed away in a motorcycle accident in the early hours of the morning of 21 August, after attending a post-filming party for Strongest Chil Woo. The motorcycle he was riding apparently rammed into a guardrail of the overpass in Hannam-dong and was reportedly to have been killed instantly by the impact of the crash.
His fellow cast members and crew are still in shock and unable to come to terms with the reality of his death as they had just been together with him a few hours before the fatal accident,
His Strongest Chil Woo co-star and good friend Eric had mentioned in an interview on 20th Aug, "We have made plans to take a short vacation together after we finished filming the drama. The najangs and the assassins have gotten very close during the course of the filming and we're looking forward to a short getaway."
Eric's manager said, "It has come as a complete shock to Eric, and he hasn't been able to come to terms with the news yet. They were still spending time together past midnight until Lee Eon left the party earlier at about 1am." Upon receiving the bad news at about 3am, Eric rushed to the hospital immediately.
On the other hand, the parents of Lee Eon, their only child, had rushed to Seoul from their home in Busan and reached the hospital mortuary at about 8.40am. His mother was understandably in a state of shock and disbelief. "Why did you bring me here? It's not right, I want to go to his hospital room, I don't want to be at the funeral parlor. I just saw Sang Min (Lee Eon) over there."
Lee Eon's close friends, colleagues from modelling and the cast and crew of Strongest Chil Woo will be attending his memorial service scheduled for 23 August.
