The news of Lee Sun Gyun's death has brought much shock after it was reported on December 27. 

Interestingly, this news was revealed first in an online community in Korea before the media reported it.

On December 27 at around 11 AM KST, TV Chosun first made its exclusive report that Lee Sun Gyun was found collapsed in his car. Subsequently, other media outlets reported that Lee Sun Gyun had passed away after police confirmation.

However, it was revealed that the report of Lee Sun Gyun's death was posted on the online community MLB Park at around 10:47 AM, 13 minutes before the first media report. A post titled, "It seems actor Lee Sun Gyun has passed away," was posted, and the poster wrote a brief post saying, "It's regrettable."


This post was created before any official report was released, so Korean netizens expressed skepticism and disbelief. They commented, "??" "All of a sudden??" "Don't make jokes like that," "There're no articles on this. What nonsense are you saying?" and "You should get ready to be punished for spreading false information."

However, 13 minutes later, the post was proven to be true after media outlets reported on Lee Sun Gyun's death.

Many netizens are wondering how this poster knew about Lee Sun Gyun's death even before the media. Many are speculating the poster is an official working with the police or the fire department.

Some korean police officers are turning the whole country into a big joke. I really hope legal actions would be taken against them by his family, they are doing everything except their job.

The way they’ve been handling this case since day 1 is disgusting, they used to leak informations to the media but now prefer leaking the news in online communities first.
