Wonju's YouTube production team announced their departure, reigniting concerns about the actor's health.

The production team behind Wonju's YouTube channel 'Wonju Artificial' posted a notice on the 24th via their YouTube account: "We sincerely thank you for your continued support and interest in our team." They added, "After managing and operating the 'Wonju Artificial' channel since its launch, we regret to inform you that we will no longer be producing content for this channel."

Continuing, they stated, "From the beginning until now, we are deeply grateful for your love and attention toward our channel. Our entire production team enjoyed a joyful and fulfilling year thanks to our subscribers and Wonju. Once again, we express our gratitude and wish peace and blessings upon every subscriber's home."

In response, Sky People Entertainment, Wonju's agency, clarified: "This has nothing to do with health concerns. The channel will remain active as is." They added, "Specific plans have not yet been announced. We plan to reorganize and resume operations around autumn."

The 'Wonju Artificial' channel was launched last September. Wonju has shared daily life moments, including family, assets, investments, and conversations with friend Seonwoo Yong-yeo, amassing over 110,000 subscribers.

On the 23rd of last month, during an appearance on the YouTube channel 'Sunpung Seonwoo Yong-yeo', Wonju was seen struggling to find a ring while visiting Jeju Island and wrapping garlic in a pouch as if it were precious, raising suspicions of early-stage dementia.

Additionally, Wonju revealed in April that they had been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment—a stage preceding dementia—based on results from the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and brain CT scans. This disclosure intensified concerns that the YouTube production team's departure might be linked to Wonju's health issues.
