The Japanese tour guide revealed that Da S had stayed in her hotel room for two consecutive days, January 30 and 31, due to her poor health. On the night of January 31, her family called an ambulance to take her to a local hospital, but after simple treatment, she was sent back to the hotel in the late night. On February 1, the tour guide accompanied Da S's family, including her sister, husband, and mother, to a small hospital for further treatment. The hospital found the condition to be somewhat severe and recommended a larger hospital. After visiting the larger hospital and receiving some medication, they returned to the hotel.
Notably, on the evening of February 1, Da S's sister and mother posted a video of themselves dancing on social media, suggesting they did not realize the severity of Da S's condition at the time. Tragically, Da S's condition worsened again in the late night of February 1, and an ambulance was called to take her to the hospital. Unfortunately, despite medical efforts, she passed away in the early morning of February 2. The news of her death was announced publicly on February 3, shocking her fans and friends.
Da S's husband, Zhao Ji Jun, expressed his grief, confirming the news was not a rumor. When contacted by Korean media on February 3, after the news of Da S's death was made public, he was visibly shaken, his voice cracking with emotion. Through tears, he simply stated that the news of his wife's passing was not a fabrication, a stark affirmation of the devastating reality that had befallen their family.
The news of Da S's passing has sent shockwaves across the entertainment industry and her fans, who are still grappling with the sudden loss of the beloved actress. Many fans and friends have been commenting on social media, expressing their sorrow and regret, wondering if the outcome could have been different with earlier and more thorough medical attention. Netizens are questioning the handling of Da S's illness by her family, suggesting that they may not have taken her condition seriously enough. Some have speculated that if Da S had received timely medical treatment, her death might have been prevented. The outpouring of grief and sympathy from fans reflects the profound impact of Da S's passing, not only on her fans and the entertainment industry but also on those closest to her.
