Comedian Park Ji-sun, 36, was found dead at her home in Seoul, alongside her mother on Monday, according to the police.

Park’s father first alerted police when neither his wife nor daughter were answering his calls. Police discovered the two bodies after entering the home.

The comedian debuted in 2007 and won the best rookie award from KBS the same year. Recently she had been working as an M.C.

The comedian had made public that she suffers from a condition that makes her allergic to sunlight and cosmetics. It is said her condition had worsened recently and even lights on stage would cause a reaction.
