Gong Yoo attends Lee Eon’s funeral
In this very rare occasion, actor Gong Yoo is photographed while he is in military service. Gong Yoo attended the funeral of friend and Coffee Prince co-star Lee Eon.
Needless to say, Gong Yoo is saddened by the sudden death of a close entertainer junior and pays tribute to Lee Eon by dedicating a message to him on his minihompy (Monster’s House), along with a photograph of Lee Eon taken during his Coffee Prince days. The message reads:
“It’s strange. The night before you left us, I happened to listen again to the note you read on the radio for me to listen to while I was in training. So I thought of you suddenly, and I missed you, and I wanted to call — I should have called. I should’ve nagged you, too, to change that persistent ringtone. I’m sorry.”
Gong Yoo applied for special leave to attend the funeral. He arrived on the 23 August, around 4am at the funeral hall in Soon Chun Hyang University Hospital, Hannam Seoul. Gong Yoo led the way by holding Lee Eon’s tablet, followed by pall bearers carrying the casket.
Lee Eon and Gong Yoo have been very close since their modelling days (both are models as well as actors). Both of them rose to stardom through their roles in the popular MBC drama Coffee Prince and share a very special bond. Although special leave in the army is granted for the demise of relatives only, Gong Yoo’s army officer approved his leave application after considering the deep and special friendship between the two actors.
Gong Yoo appeared looking somber, wearing a dark suit and black framed glasses.
Lee Eon’s body was cremated and his remains will be buried in his hometown of Busan.
Lee Eon immortalized in book
Model-turned-actor Lee Eon (pic, right) died in a motorcycle accident in the summer of 2008. He was 27.

Lee Eon
Lee Eon (5 February 1981 – 21 August 2008) was a South Korean actor and model.
Lee Eon was born Park Sang-min on 5 February 1981. Lee began practising ssireum while in elementary school, going on to win gold medals at Korean national ssireum competitions in 1997 and 1998. As a freshman at university, he was inspired by Cha Seung-won to become a model, and after losing 30 kg (66 lb) made his debut at a fashion show in Busan in 1999. His later fashion show appearances included the Seoul Fashion Artists Association Collection.
Lee branched out into acting, making his film debut in 2006; he played a ssireum wrestler in "Like a Virgin", putting his skills to good use and helping lead actor Ryu Deok-hwan learn the moves. He later appeared in the 2007 hit drama series "Coffee Prince", and made his final appearance in KBS drama "Mighty Chil-woo".
Lee died in a motorcycle accident on 21 August 2008. He had been riding home from a party celebrating the last airing of Mighty Chil-woo, when his motorcycle hit the guardrail of an overpass in Hannam-dong, Seoul, at around 2 am. He died on the spot from a broken neck and was taken to the nearby Soonchunhyang University Hospital. Many of his colleagues attended his funeral, including Gong Yoo, his co-star in Coffee Prince, who took leave from his military service to hold Lee's memorial tablet in the procession to the grave site.
