Producer Jo Hyun Gil has been found dead in Seoul's Gangnam Cheongdam-dong.

Jo Hyun Gil was 48 years old and participated as the producer of many famous dramas such as 'IRIS', 'Athena', and movies such as '71 Into the Fire', 'Wet Dreams', and the 'Marrying the Mafia' series.

His body was found in a car in the parking lot of a restaurant that he owned shortly after 9:00AM on the morning of January 2nd. The police determined that he died due to hypothermia most likely because he stayed in the car for too long in the extremely cold weather.

Our condolences to his family and friends.
