Do you remember the story we shared a few days ago about a 93-year-old father who asked his daughter for some yangnyeom chicken (seasoned fried chicken)?

That heartwarming story has unexpectedly led to a neighborhood chicken feast.

Previously, the daughter shared an anecdote on social media, writing, "My father tried to hold back, but he kept thinking of yangnyeom chicken. He felt sorry as he asked me to order some for him."

The story surpassed 800,000 views in just one day, gaining deep empathy from netizens.

In response, a chicken franchise sent a gift certificate worth 200,000 won, saying the story touched their hearts.

And a follow-up post about this was recently uploaded.

The daughter posted that she used the gift certificate to order seasoned fried chicken and shared it with the elders in her neighborhood, adding that they loved it.

Netizens who saw this reacted by saying, "Ending with a neighborhood feast makes it a perfect ending."

Filled with such warmth, it truly makes us feel wonderful just to be able to share this news with you.
