Production of JTBC's new romance series “Run On” has been suspended temporarily after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19 Sunday.
According to the network Monday, other staff members, including main actors Im Si-wan and Shin Se-kyung, are under self-quarantine after tests.
Im and Shin have tested negative for the virus. After receiving the test results for all the others, the team will decide when to return to work.
This is the second time the series' production has been put on hold due to the virus.
Shooting was suspended last month after a production staff member came in contact with a coronavirus patient. Production was soon put back on track after the staff member tested negative.
“Run On,” starring Im, Shin, Choi Soo-young and Kang Tae-oh as the leads, follows a national team sprinter who falls in love with a film translator.
The series is set to premiere this year.
