The memorial mass was held by a pastor while a Korean student representative from Sydney University read the eulogy. After the memorial was completed, Lee Dong Gun’s brother body will be cremated in the rural areas of Sydney. His ashes will be bought back to Korea on 28th March and a proper funeral will be held three days later on 31st March. Lee Dong Gun was supposed to leave today with his brother’s ashes but postponed his departure because of this memorial mass organised by his brother’s classmates.
We wish Lee Dong Gun and his family to be strong in this tragic moment.

TV star mourns brother killed in Hungry Jacks brawl
THE family of a murdered Korean university student hired security guards to patrol a memorial service yesterday amid fears of revenge attacks targeting the teenager's film-star brother and friends.
Korean teen idol Lee Dong-gun held a photograph of his younger brother Lee Joon-yub as he led a procession of more than than 100 mourners after a requiem mass at the St Johns College chapel, inside the University of Sydney.
The slaying has become headline news in Seoul and threatens to tarnish Sydney's safe image, with the city home to the second largest population of international Korean students outside the UK.
At the Lee family's request, a team of security guards was recruited to patrol the St Johns College chapel and surrounding grounds.
Sources told The Daily Telegraph there were fears of potential retribution following the arrest and charging of two 18-year-old Carlingford youths over the attack at World Square last Thursday.Pall bearers asked for their identities to be suppressed.
Police yesterday maintained denials there was any link between the slaying and Asian crime gangs.
The killing has become headline news in Korea, where Lee Dong-gun's brother is a household name, with fan websites inundated with condolences and messages of support.
Lee Joon-yub, 19, collapsed and died on the footpath outside World Square after he and a friend became embroiled in a brawl with two teenagers at Hungry Jacks.
The teenager's 22-year-old friend, Song Jung-ho, was also stabbed in the chest and managed to flee to a Korean store before collapsing, the images dramatically captured by surveillance cameras.
He was among mourners at the memorial service after being released from hospital just 24 hours earlier, following surgery to a chest wound.
A Korean priest led the mass with two nuns, who helped support Lee's grieving parents. The heartbroken couple flew into Sydney last week and will return home to Seoul with their son's ashes.
Following the service yesterday morning, Lee Dong-gun - a heart-throb to millions of adolescent Korean girls - emerged choking back tears and clutching a photograph of his brother, while his father wailed in grief.
Korean journalist Ken Lim told The Daily Telegraph Lee family and friends feared they may be targeted by Chinese gang members.
Mr Lee said the slaying had tarnished Australia's image in Seoul. Australia has the second largest population of expatriate Korean students behind that of London.
Mr Lee said more than 25,000 Korean university and English language students lived in Sydney.
"Korean people have a clean image of Australia but this has tarnished it," Mr Lee said.
"People are worried about the security in the city centre where there are gangs."

지난 20일 새벽 시드니 도심에서 중국계 청년들에게 칼에 찔려 사망한 한인 유학생 이모씨에 대한 장례 의식이 26일 거행됐다.
이모씨는 한국의 유명 배우인 이동건씨의 친동생으로 알려져 지난 주말 한국은 물론, 시드니 한인사회에서 애도와 함께 큰 관심이 쏠렸었다.
이모씨에 대한 장례 의식은 이날 오전 10시15분(호주시각) 고인이 다녔던 시드니 대학 내 세인트 존스 칼리지(St. Johns College)에서의 발인예배에 이어 시드니 외곽의 카슬브룩 메모리얼 파크(Castlebrook Memorial Park) 공원묘지에서의 화장예식으로 이어졌다.
이날 장례는 형 동건씨를 비롯한 유가족과 시드니대 한인학생회 관계자, 시드니 총영사관의 이봉행 영사 등이 참석한 가운데 공인 주례인 이문철 박사의 집례로 이루어졌다.
형 동건씨는 발인예배 때 침통한 얼굴로 동생의 영정을 들고 예배 장소로 들어가, 보는 이들의 마음을 아프게 했다.
이날 고인의 장례절차는 유가족들의 요청으로 비공개리에 진행돼, 한인 언론사와 호주언론사 취재진이 거의 보이지 않았으며 한국신문과 데일리 텔레그라프 기자만이 현장에서 취재했다.
이날 화장된 고인의 유해는 이르면 28일쯤 시드니를 떠나 한국으로 돌아갈 것으로 보인다.
고인은 같은 시드니 대학에 유학중인 송모씨와 함께 20일 새벽 1시쯤 월드 스퀘어 건너편 한 햄버거 가게에서 중국계 청년 2명과 사소한 말다툼을 벌인 끝에 가게에서 나와 길을 건너던 도중 중국계 청년들이 휘두른 칼에 찔려, 현장에 쓰러져 경찰에 의해 세인트 빈센트 병원으로 옮겨졌으나, 병원에 도착한 지 얼마 지나지 않아 사망했었다.
고인과 함께 중국계 청년들에게 공격을 받았던 송모씨는 인근 식료품 가게로 피신을 해 쓰러진 뒤 로얄 프린스 알프레드 병원으로 후송됐으며, 응급 조치를 받은 뒤 의식을 회복했다.
호주 언론들은 두 명의 용의자 모두 사고 지역 주변에서 활동하는 폭력조직과 연관있는 것으로 보도하고 있다.
