His agent in a press release said Jeon "had been treated for depression but was preparing to return to the screen as his condition had greatly improved. His family and friends grieve over his sudden death".

A funeral altar has been set up at a hospital in Seoul, but the funeral will be private and only attended by close family friends.

Jeon debuted in 2007 and started to get better known in the hit TV series "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" and sitcom "All My Love for You" in 2010. 

But his career came to a screeching halt after he was arrested for assaulting a taxi driver and two policemen while drunk in 2011.
