Death

[edit]

After attending the recording of KBS "Open Concert" at DGIST and thus completing promotions for "Kiss Kiss", the group was returning to Seoul when at approximately 1:30 A.M. on September 3, 2014 (KST), Kwon was critically injured in a car crash.[13][14] The group's manager, Mr. Park, who was driving the van, had been speeding, driving 137 km/h (85 mph) in a 100 km/h (62 mph) zone for a distance of 30 km (19 miles).[15] Rainy conditions made the road slippery, which caused Park to suddenly lose control of the vehicle, causing the group's van to hydroplane and skid several times before crashing into a protective wall in the vicinity of the Singal Junction on Yeongdong Expressway.[16][17]

It was reported that none of the van's airbags deployed at the time of impact.[17][18] By the time the paramedics arrived at the scene, Kwon's injuries were so severe that the paramedics were unable to identify her.[19][unreliable source?] Her bandmates Ashley and Zuny sustained minor injuries while bandmate Sojung sustained major injuries, and EunB was killed. Park and one stylist sustained minor injuries.[20][21]

Kwon was immediately taken to the Catholic University of Korea St. Vincent's Hospital, where she was given emergency CPR before being taken into surgery due to suffering severe cranial and abdominal injuries.[19][unreliable source?][22][23] The surgeons operated on her cranial area three times while also having to resuscitate her via defibrillation during the procedures.[24] In the midst of a fourth procedure for her back in the 11th hour of surgery,[25] Kwon's blood pressure began to drop very rapidly, making it unsafe to continue.[24] She was moved to the intensive care unit at Ajou University Hospital, where she remained in critical condition. It was reported that her brain was severely swollen and that she was not regaining consciousness, with the doctors closely monitoring her condition in order to safely resume surgery.[26][unreliable source?]

Kwon died at 10:10 am (KST) on September 7, 2014, in Ajou University Hospital, having never woken up from her coma.[22][27] Her wake was held at Korea University Anam Hospital funeral home.[28][29][30] Her funeral in South Korea was held at Seoul Memorial Park on September 9, 2014. Many prominent South Korean stars attended her funeral or sent flower wreaths including her former Birth of a Great Star mentor Lee Eun-Mi, members of Super Junior, idol Roh Ji-hoon, Shinee, Kara, Bestie, Secret and more.[31]

After the funeral, Kwon was cremated and her ashes were taken back to Japan, where another funeral was held for her family and close friends.[32]
