Yoon Taek followed by Kim Gyuwon, heartwarming stories in the entertainment industry continue to warm viewers' hearts.
Recently, comedian Yoon Taek moved people with volunteer activities for elderly people with whom he has had a long relationship, and then stories from comedian Kim Gyuwon's time as a social service worker were revealed, prompting reactions such as "I hope stories like this become more widely known."
Earlier, Yoon Taek, through his YouTube channel '윤택TV', carried out the '오지:객' volunteer project, seeking out elderly people in need to repair their homes and improve their living environments.
The beginning of the volunteer work was a single remark of "I'm lonely" from an elderly man Yoon Taek met during filming of the past show 'I Am a Natural Person.' Not forgetting this, Yoon Taek went back to find the elder, repaired the collapsing earthen house, and personally helped with wallpapering, insulation and hygiene management, delivering warm care.
Singer Yook Joongwan and YouTuber Gongguwang Hwangbu-jang and volunteers also contributed, and the story of an elder who endured winter with only two blankets left by his deceased mother brought many to tears. Yoon Taek delivered daily necessities, saying "Please use them cleanly and stay healthy," and expressed gratitude, asking, "Please help a lot so we can continue doing such good works."
Yoon Taek did not stop afterwards. In the '윤택TV' episode released on the 1st, he visited a community center in a village in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province to clean and maintain facilities. Colleagues such as Yook Joongwan, Baekga and Kim Jae-woo joined to help, and Baekga, using his photography background, offered to photograph the village elders' memorial and family photos and present them in frames, adding to the warmth.
Meanwhile, on the 7th, a late-revealed story from comedian Kim Gyuwon's time as a social service worker also moved people. According to a tip disclosed by illustrator Kikni, Kim Gyuwon, who was in charge of an elementary school student who used a wheelchair due to congenital muscular disease, took care of the child more attentively than anyone. In particular, when the child accidentally soiled clothing at school, he hand-washed the underwear, dried it, folded it neatly and delivered it, and is said to have told the apologetic parents, "I'm sorry for causing unnecessary worry."
The bond continued even after his discharge. To keep a promise to attend the child's graduation ceremony, he prepared bouquets and gifts himself despite a busy schedule, and when attending the ceremony became difficult due to COVID-19, he went to the child's home to deliver the gifts. The tipster expressed gratitude, saying, "Among all entertainers to our family, he is number one," and asked, "Please love Kim Gyuwon a lot."
As Yoon Taek's steady volunteer work and Kim Gyuwon's warm consideration spread, netizens reacted with support, saying, "I hope these stories are more widely reported in articles," "The more good deeds spread, the warmer society becomes," "My heart was warmed by the heartwarming news," and "I could watch this kind of news many times and still be pleased."
