A high-profile Taiwanese actor was badly injured during a Netflix shoot recently when a camera drone collided with his face.
Kai Ko suffered what his manager described as “serious disfigurement,” with his injuries requiring as many as 30 stitches close to his cheekbone, Variety reported.
The show’s producers told Variety that the crew has restarted work, but Ko has not yet returned to the set as he is being given more time to rest and recover. Notably, they explained that the drone’s propeller blades were “shielded by a protective layer and there was no explosion or blades shattering as reported in some articles.”
The production team has launched a full investigation into the incident to try to work out how a shoot using a drone could go so wrong.
