Comedian Yoon Taek delivered a deep resonance through warm sharing, and the sudden news of his father's death adds to the sorrow. Yoon Taek, who has routinely checked on elderly people living alone across the country through volunteer work, is receiving support and encouragement for him to overcome his pain and stand up again.
Recently on the YouTube channel Yoon Taek TV, a video titled "[Oji:Guest-special] miracles made possible by gathered warm hearts!!" was released, and the content is a volunteer project in which Yoon Taek revisits an elderly person he met in the past through "The Natural Person" to help, with volunteers gathering around Yoon Taek. In particular, singer Yook Joongwan and YouTuber Gongguwang Hwangbujang also participated in the volunteer work.
Thus, those gathered from across the country headed to Geoje Eogu Port under the name "Oji Guest volunteer corps." They went to check on an elderly person living alone whom they had not visited in a long time. But the scene was more serious than before. The elderly person was living in a precarious home that seemed like it would collapse. Seeing torn paper window coverings and frozen food, people were filled with sorrow wondering how the person had gotten through the past winter.
Afterward, Yoon Taek took the lead and, together with volunteers, helped renovate the house, including the elderly person's haircut and hygiene care, wallpapering and thermal insulation reinforcement. After hard work, the elderly person, who received the newly refurbished house as a gift, ultimately reddened their eyes and offered a heartfelt thank-you, saying, "Yoon Taek, I know it all," and Yoon Taek also showed tears, making onlookers feel moved. The caption near the end of the video saying "We hope the small warmth we left does not cool" left an even deeper aftertaste.
As Yoon Taek's recent situation, having continued warm sharing, resonated with many, heartbreaking news followed not long after. According to his agency DCLEnT, on the 29th, Yoon Taek's father, Im Jonggak, passed away that morning at the age of 83 while battling a chronic illness. Yoon Taek is currently with family members keeping vigil at the funeral hall and mourning the deceased in sorrow.
Earlier, Yoon Taek appeared on You Quiz on the Block and showed tears while reporting his father's critical health condition. At the time, he expressed the earnest wish of a son wanting to stay by his side until the end and received much support from many people. In response to the sudden news, netizens have continued messages of condolence and encouragement such as "His father must have passed away peacefully given how many good things he did," "I hope you stay strong," and "I offer deep condolences."
Meanwhile, the wake for the deceased has been set up in room 17 of the funeral hall at Seoul Severance Hospital in Sinchon, and the funeral service will be held on the morning of the 31st.
