PD Kim Jong Hak, the man behind the SBS drama 'Faith', was recently found dead in his studio.
Although it has not officially been confirmed as a suicide, reports confirm that a note has been found, with the words “I am sorry to my family” written on it, and burnt coals were found in his bathroom.
Kim Jong Hak was previously investigated for embezzlement with the cast and the other staff of 'Faith' not receiving proper payment, and was forbidden to leave the country with the investigation going on. Those close to him believe these happenings took a toll on the PD's mental state.
Kim Jong Hak brought to life dramas like 'Eyes of Dawn', 'Sandglass', 'Daemang', 'The Legend', and 'Faith'.
A representative for Lee Min Ho — who starred in Faith – stated, “Lee Min Ho is currently filming a commercial, and he heard the news belatedly. He couldn’t speak due to sadness, and it seems his shock is greater since he most recently worked with the director.” The representative elaborated, “We heard that Kim Jong Hak was going back and forth between China and Korea preparing his next project, so we don’t understand how the situation became like this.”
