Following the airing of the show's third episode, 22 year-old contestant Chamia Chimedtseren from Ulaanbaatar was found dead after allegedly suffering a fall from a height of several stories. An investigation surrounding the nature of her death was launched immediately afterward, which led to the postponing of the season after that episode.
Several weeks afterward, the show resumed airing the episodes under a regular schedule. There was a public outcry over the airing of the season, as it was unknown how far the late contestant had progressed into the competition due to the nature of the pre-recorded episodes. There was further confusion over how the season would proceed in the event that Chimedtseren had advanced into the live finale, which had yet to take place.
A private crowning ceremony, was held with the remaining four contestants on January 17, 2019. 18 year-old Anujin Baynerdene was chosen as the winner of the competition. A memorial service was held for the deceased contestant, whose family also received a posthumous award and cash prize on Chimedtseren's behalf for her efforts in the competition. The final episode aired on January 20, 2019.[1] [2]
