RIP Lee Eon
Lee Eon, most famous, at least for me, for his role as the cute thug in love with Eun Chan’s little sister in Coffee Prince died in a motorcycle accident.
He was riding his motorcycle and crashed into a guard rail on an overpass.
I’m saddened and also frustrated with the news of Lee Eon’s death. He was only 27 years-old and his entire career was in front of him. (He last appeared in Strongest Chil Woo with Eric Mun)
His death, the death of Monday Kiz member (also of a motorcycle accident) and the plethora of car accidents involving entertainers should really get people asking, why is it so unsafe to drive in Seoul?
When entertainers get into traffic accidents with their managers and drivers, is it bad traffic laws, excessive drinking or the intense schedules that entertainers have? Members of Super Junior almost died in a car accident, half of the duo CLON was paralyzed in an accident… When it comes to Lee Eon’s death, however, and the death of Monday Kiz member, Kim Min Soo, accidents that happened when they were under the charge of no one but themselves, is it telling of a greater problems?

I’ve seen this news on all of the various websites but I’ll just leave my comment here. Like everyone else, I’m thoroughly shocked to hear about his death, especially when my impression of him is of a very hardworking, amiable guy whose career was taking off. Like you, I’m frustrated every time I hear about these accidents because lives are so much more important than making your next appointment or whatnot. Though these words are inconsequential, I do really offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I’m preety saddened by this news as well. He seemed like a genuine nice down to earth guy and all of a sudden just when his star status gets to climb up, his life is cut short. I just hope that his family members and all his loved ones are consoled that everyone including his fans are praying for him.
