The staff member was reportedly heading home after wrapping up filming back on January 12, when they experienced dizziness, then fainted. They were sent to the hospital, but ultimately passed away from a case of a cerebral aneurysm. They were 33 years old, and a member of the drama's art team.


A representative from the drama's side revealed, "We are all saddened by the sudden news of a staff member's passing." The drama will cancel all filming schedules for the remainder of this week, and will begin discussing filming again only after safely carrying out the late staff member's funeral.
