Following the unfortunate news of YouTuber Daedoseogwan (46, real name Na Dong-hyun)'s death, attention has also turned to his ex-wife, YouTuber Yumdang (40, real name Lee Chae-won).
According to the Gwangjin Police Station in Seoul on the 6th, Daedoseogwan was found dead at his home in Gwangjin-gu at around 8:40 AM. It was reported that he was discovered after a friend reported that he had not shown up for an appointment and was not responding to calls, prompting police and firefighters to respond.
In the wake of the sudden news, some thoughtless netizens left malicious comments on Yumdang's social media.
However, many netizens offered words of comfort, saying, "I hope you don't feel too burdened," and "Don't blame yourself or feel too distressed about what has happened. You must have been quite shocked to hear the news, and you don't have to pay attention to what the trolls say."
Daedoseogwan married fellow popular YouTuber Yumdang in 2015. At that time, Yumdang had a son from a previous marriage. Daedoseogwan, who was marrying for the first time, gained attention for embracing both Yumdang and her son.
However, they divorced by mutual agreement in 2023, eight years after their marriage. At that time, Daedoseogwan announced, "A couple of months ago, we talked about wanting to be good friends."
He added, "It's not that we are parting on bad terms. As we lived together, we found that we wanted to focus more on our work, and we realized that we could get along better as friends, but living as a family led to some conflicts."
He continued, "As those issues piled up, we thought it would be better for us to live freely and that being friends would be much better, so we decided to divorce."
Daedoseogwan also mentioned, "Yumdang and I see each other once a week and keep in touch often. In fact, we became much closer after the decision to divorce."
