Lost Ark director Gold River's illness

Gold River served as game director for Lost Ark for a few years, but in December of 2022, he will cease to be an active director. His severe health issues, coupled with the heavy workload of a game director, have caused him a great deal of stress. A new director will be appointed by the end of 2022 or early 2023.

Gold River revealed his deteriorating health during a Korean developer broadcast. He said that his health was so bad that an ambulance was on standby during a LOA-ON event he was attending. With that kind of news, it is no wonder that he feels so strongly about leaving Lost Ark.

With a tweet that featured a gold medal and a wave, Lost Ark acknowledged the big news. We assume that is supposed to acknowledge Gold River, which isn't much but is a good message of solidarity with the director.
