Actress Lee Seung-yeon was shaken by news of Woo’s death while filming a new SBS drama, according to her agents yesterday. The two hosted a fashion program and forged a close friendship, her agents said.
Woo was indicted in a hit-and-run car accident last Dec. 15 and in March a court sentenced him to an eight-month suspended prison term. In addition, He was known to have agonized over the recent failure of his fashion business.
