South Korean actress and singer Han Ji Seong passed away in a tragic car accident at 3.50 am on Wednesday on the Incheon International Airport Expressway. She was 28. The actress, who was driving a Mercedez Benz C200, was hit by two cars on the expressway, as reported by South Korean media.

Also known as Han Ji Sung and Seo I, the actress was a former member of the girl band B.Dolls. Allkpop.com reports an acquaintance as saying, "Han Ji Sung left us in a tragic accident. She was a wonderful actress who had a great passion for acting. She had so much ahead of her in the future. It's such a shame she passed away so suddenly."

Han Ji Seong's husband, who was traveling with her, reportedly told the police that they had stopped the car because he wanted to attend to nature's call urgently. When he returned from the bushes, he saw the accident and his injured wife.

News reports say that the car's black box shows that about 10 seconds after her husband got out, Han Ji Seong got out of the driver's side and walked towards the vehicle's trunk. She leaned over one or two times and moved from side to side before the accident happened.

However, contradictory footage has emerged of the accident and further probe is on. According to Koreaboo, Han Ji Seong was hit by a taxi and sedan one after the other. Local police are investigating the taxi driver (56) and the driver of the sedan (73).
