Singer and actress Song Ji-eun and YouTuber Park Wi, a married couple, were moved to tears.

On the 20th, a video titled "Park Wi, who showed a miracle after being diagnosed with quadriplegia, what are the chances of standing up?" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'With Sean'. The guest appearance featured the couple, Park Wi and Song Ji-eun.

That day, Park Wi said about his current physical condition, "Actually, at first, it was an extremely desperate situation. I was diagnosed with complete paralysis among quadriplegia, and I was told, 'There is no possibility of further improvement.'"

He continued, "At that time, the doctor said that no matter how much I improved, I wouldn't even be able to lift my hand. I was told I would probably have to live relying on a motorized wheelchair, but now I ride a manual wheelchair and drove here myself. I can now live independently. In fact, I did rehabilitation with all my might to survive."

Song Ji-eun said, "My husband has been consistently doing exercise. He goes to the gym and works out while wearing assistive devices to prevent muscle loss. He tries to do rehabilitation by pushing the wheelchair by himself as much as possible. At first, it looked pitiful." She added, "I thought, 'It would be easier if you got some help,' but I realized my thinking was wrong. I was even suppressing his opportunity to grow. I decided I should wait for and support my husband's approach."

She also mentioned the viral AI video of Park Wi standing up alone. Song Ji-eun said, "There is a rehabilitation standing device. It's a tool that helps you stand up, and even seeing him stand up with it was moving. I didn't know much about standing up via AI. I thought, 'Wow, if such a day ever comes, it will come?' and I was overwhelmed. My hope and longing were great."

She then said, "If I can walk, what I want most is a normal daily life. Even on bumpy roads, just the two of us walking on our own two feet." Hearing this, Park Wi shed tears out of gratitude, and Song Ji-eun eventually cried as well.

Park Wi said, "Physically, it's uncomfortable. If I hadn't been injured, I wouldn't have been able to learn the countless values and wisdoms of life that I have now. That truly enriched my life. I never could have understood the difficulties faced by people with physical disabilities or their families. I came to know it better than anyone. There are many people in this world who carry such heavy hearts in marginalized places."

Meanwhile, Park Wi and Song Ji-eun tied the knot with a wedding ceremony in 2024.
