Model Lee Byun shone on the runway even while battling cancer... Today (31st) marks two years since her death

A time of two years has somehow passed since the late model Lee Pyung (Lee Kyung Mi) passed away.

　The late Lee Pyung passed away on May 31st, 2023, after a battle with cancer. She was 43 years old.

　The sad news was made known through model Lee Sung Jin. At the time, she said, "I had a long and difficult battle with cancer. I was too happy to stand on the runway and work as a model despite my illness," she said, belatedly conveying the late Lee Pyung's exceptional passion before her death.

　She added, "I wanted to be remembered only as a model, and I didn't want people to know that I was sick, so I didn't let people know about my illness. I am sorry,“ adding, ”For the sake of the best model and this wonderful junior model, I ask that many people join the deceased on her path."

　Many other colleagues from the modeling and entertainment worlds also expressed their condolences. Han Yeon, a singer and TV personality with a model background, said, "Please rest there without pain. A wonderful model, Lee Pyung," she once remembered. Actor Heo Jung-min said, "Sister Pyung was really warm and kind. She lived happily in a nice place, enjoying her walks."

　The late Lee Pyung never lost her professionalism and sense of responsibility as a model, even while battling illness. As the passion she left behind still resonates in the hearts of the public, we hope that the late Lee Pyung is at peace and without pain in heaven.

　Meanwhile, the late Lee Pyung, who was born in 1980, made her modeling debut at the age of 18, and was featured in Andre Kim's fashion show, Lee Sang-bong, Kwak Hyun-ju, etc. In 2016, she won the “Asia Beauty Awards” modeling award, the "31st Korea Best Dresser Swan Awards" in the female model category.
