"We have canceled the upcoming shooting schedule," it said. The 16-episode series is only two episodes from the ending.

Seo was tested Tuesday after showing virus symptoms, including fever, on Sunday. He last filmed on the set on Aug. 14.

The lead actors ― Hwang Jung?eum, Yoon Hyun?min, and Seo Ji?hoon ― reportedly did not come into contact with Seo.

Hwang was scheduled to hold group interviews with several media outlets on Aug. 24 and 25. However, the actress' agency CJes Entertainment said they had been canceled.

The network is on heightened alert after reporting a confirmed case.

Some of the show's staff have also been working on the network's new drama "Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol."

The drama's production team told several media outlets that it halted Wednesday's shooting, and staff are being tested.

"We will decide on the further schedule depending on the test results," it said.
