Flesh Asia Daily: Lee Ae-jeong Dies Of Brain Tumor

Lee Ae-jeong Dies Of Brain Tumor
Sunday, September 9, 2007

Lee Ae-jeong, that child star that broke our hearts and captivated us in the drama Autumn Fairy Tale, passed on last Thursday due to a brain tumor called encephaloma. Everyone in the Korean media is shocked because nobody knew she had something that serious. Her disease was diagnosed 18 months ago, and despite a couple of surgeries, it still got worse. Apparently, she didn't want anybody to get alarmed about her illness, even going as far as always making a point to post cheerful photos of her on Cyworld and even stopping a reporter from publishing a story about her medical condition.

Rest in peace, Ae-jeong.
