Actor Jeon Seung-jae died Wednesday, nearly two years after being found unconscious on the set of the KBS historical epic “Korea-Khitan War” (2023-24), according to the broadcasting industry.

The 47-year-old actor collapsed on set in 2024 due to a cerebral hemorrhage while waiting to film in Suwon, Gyeonggi.

He then underwent emergency surgery and spent nearly two years receiving treatment.

Jeon debuted with the movie “Taegukgi: Brotherhood Of War” (2004). He appeared in films including “Highway Star” (2007), “Sinkhole” (2021) and “Extreme Festival” (2022).
