'Tri' production team deeply sympathized with Sports Chosun on the 4th and prayed for the deceased's repose. I would like to express my sincere condolences to the bereaved family members."
The production team continued "As I said in the previous statement, "Tri" is a pre-production drama, and we are conducting minimal editing to the extent that it does not harm the flow of the story, except for the amount already received by Global OTT.", he explained.
In this regard, Song Young-gyu appeared as Kim Min-joong, director of the rugby department at Daesang High School, in SBS's Friday-Saturday drama `Tri.' In the first episode, which first aired on July 25, he left a strong impression on viewers with his confrontation with the main character Ju-ram (Yoon Gye-sang). However, controversy erupted when it was revealed that he was drunk driving just before the broadcast, and the production team later said it would edit the appearance.
Song Young-gyu was found dead in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do on the morning of the 4th. He was 55. No suicide note was found at the scene, and police are investigating the exact circumstances of the death. The mortuary was set up at the funeral hall of Davos Hospital in Yongin, and the coffin will be borne at 8 a.m. on the 6th.
