On 16th March (Monday), it’s revealed that Ji Yoon was admitted to the hospital after complaining of sore throat. “His condition became much worse and he was moved to the intensive care unit, but suddenly fell into sepsis and lost consciousness,” a source from the entertainment label told Xportsnews.
The insider further continued, “I’ve worked with Moon Ji Yoon for a long time. He was a healthy man. He was someone who was very passionate and only thought about acting. It’s so heartbreaking that he left us too soon.”
