Coffee Prince Actor Lee Eon Dies in Accident

Oh gosh. Yet another tide of bad news again.

This time round, it's korean actor Lee Eon of Coffee Prince fame.




According to this report, he was on his way home after a party when he crashed onto a guardrail of an overpass while riding his motorcycle.

He was 27 and a rising star in Korea at that. He became popular after appearing in Coffee Prince as a simple-minded but loveable Min Yub whose undying love had become a talking point in the show.

These days, stars often met with an untimely deaths and it has happened way too much. First, it was The Dark Knight's Heath Ledger who died of drug overdose. Then Harry Potter star Robert Knox was fatally knifed to death while trying to protect his brother from gang bullies. And now, this.

The entertainment world has suffered many terrible losses this year and both eastern and western artistes are not spared.

May their souls rest in peace.

It will no doubt be a sombre affair but at the same time, it's touching to know that Dan and the other stars are paying their respects to a barely known star. Such an amazing display of camaradie is indeed heartwarming.

May Robert Knox rest in peace.

Whoa! I had just gotten news from this post that a new Harry Potter star has died in a brutal attack.

Robert Knox is playing the role of a Ravenclaw student, Marcus Belby (I wonder if there's such a character, gotta hit the books again) in the upcoming film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Seemed like he died while trying to protect his brother from a knife attack. Such a heroic boy yet he had to meet with such a tragic end. I hope the attackers are duly caught and brought to justice.

When the film opens in Singapore, I will look out for any scenes that contain Robert. It was such a wonderful opportunity for him to snag a role in the Harry Potter movie franchise but now it's all gone.

This kind of senseless killing should be stopped at all costs in order to prevent the loss of innocent lives. Young people are especially vulnerable to such attacks since these attacks often happened in area which are mostly frequented by young people.

To the family of Robert Knox, my sincere condolences to you.

To Robert Knox, rest in peace. You will forever be remembered in all Harry Potter fans' hearts.
