💔 KOREAN ACTOR LEE JI-HAN LOST HIS LIFE WHILE TRYING TO SAVE A LITTLE GIRL.
Lee Ji-han was only 24 years old when he died during the deadly Halloween crowd crush in Seoul's Itaewon district on October 29, 2022.
Many people first knew him from Mnet's Produce 101 Season 2 in 2017, where he competed as a trainee hoping to become an idol. Although he didn't make the final lineup, he continued pursuing his entertainment career and eventually transitioned into acting.
He made his acting debut in the 2019 web drama Today Was Another Nam Hyun Day and was filming MBC's historical fantasy drama Kokdu: Season of Deity at the time of his death.
But perhaps the most heartbreaking part of his story is what he reportedly did that night.
According to an eyewitness account, Lee was on his way home when he noticed a young girl trapped in the suffocating crowd. Rather than simply walking away, he reportedly tried to help her escape. The girl survived, but Lee was caught in the deadly crush and lost his life.
His agency, 935 Entertainment, later confirmed his death, describing him as a warmhearted person who always greeted others with a smile.
The Itaewon disaster claimed 159 lives that night, most of them young people who had simply gone out to enjoy Halloween.
Lee Ji-han had an entire career ahead of him. He was still chasing his dreams, and according to the eyewitness account, he may have spent his final moments trying to save someone else's life.
Gone far too soon. Rest in peace, Lee Ji-han. 🕊️

They reunited in 2019 for Crash Landing on You, where their unforgettable chemistry captured millions of hearts. Their relationship was publicly confirmed in 2021, followed by their beautiful wedding in 2022.

From Lovers on Screen to Parents in Real Life: Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin Seven Years Later ❤️
Seven years, a wedding, and a child later, Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are living a love story even more beautiful than the one they portrayed on screen.
In December 2019, the two attended their Crash Landing on You press conference, exchanging warm smiles and laughter before their romance officially began. Little did audiences know that their unforgettable chemistry would eventually blossom into something real.
Fast forward to November 2026, and the couple appeared together at the Blue Dragon Film Awards handprinting ceremony, now as husband and wife and proud parents of a son.
So much has changed since their first press conference together. Yet one thing remains beautifully familiar: the way they smile at each other, as though the butterflies never left.
Some love stories only grow more beautiful with time.
