A female staff died from a fire accident that occurred in the drama making site of JTBC’s “Slave Women,” local fire station said on Saturday.

The 35-year-old victim turned out to be one of the production staff surnamed Yeom. She failed to escape from the burning building that was one of the drama’s local settings in Jeongok-ri, Jeongok-eup, Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi Province.

The fire fighters found Yeom’s body from the second floor of the building, and transported it to the nearby hospital.

Due to heavy damages in the production facilities, JTBC decided to indefinitely push back the broadcasting of the second episode of “Slave Women,” originally slated for Friday night.

Launched on Dec. 12, the period rom-action drama is broadcast every Friday and Saturday.
