With her distinctive dark, bronze skin tone, she earned the nickname “Black Bean” and attracted many male fans. But was she really kidnapped?
Lee Bon once revealed on a show that she was kidnapped by an obsessed fan. One cold day, her manager went ahead to the car to turn on the heater while she was still finishing a take.
After filming, Lee Bon was walking alone to the parking lot when she suddenly lost consciousness while walking down the stairs.
When he woke up, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar house. From outside, he heard a man say: “Why do you do this and create problems?” She realized she had been kidnapped.
Despite the situation, Lee Bon didn’t believe his captors were dangerous. So he opened the door and asked, “Why am I here?”
The man apologized, explaining: “I’m a big fan of yours. My little brothers love me so much that they did this for me.”
Surprisingly, instead of panicking, Lee Bon asked them to show her around since it was her first visit. She ended up visiting local attractions with them, enjoying traditional pancakes and makgeolli (Korean rice wine), before they finally took her home.
Listeners were amazed, commenting: “It looks like a kidnapping!” and noting that the whole experience felt more like a movie than real life.
The next day, a luxury sports car and a letter were left in front of her house. It turns out the obsessed fan had proposed to her!
Lee Bon immediately sent the car back. Although the fan continued his romantic gestures for a few more days, he eventually gave up after Lee Bon firmly rejected him.
Netizens praised her response, commenting: “He handled it so wisely”, “This is no ordinary situation. Truly remarkable.” AND “Lee Bon was so beautiful back then.”
