'You Quiz on the Block' paid tribute to the late writer Jeon Kyung-cheol.

In the closing segment of the tvN variety program 'You Quiz on the Block,' which aired on the 9th, a portion of an episode that originally aired on August 12 featuring writer Jeon Kyung-cheol, known as the "Peter Pan Dad," was shown. Writer Jeon Kyung-cheol passed away on the 5th after battling cancer while raising his son, who has severe autism, alone for over two decades.

During his appearance, writer Jeon Kyung-cheol said, "On the day I was moving my son into a community for people with autism, when the maple trees were in full autumn color, I told Ma Eul (CEO) that it would be nice to spend one night here with my son. He agreed. The doctors said it wouldn't happen until fall, but that night we received a call inviting us to go camping on Sunday."

Following this, footage of the camping trip writer Jeon Kyung-cheol and his son shared together was revealed. Writer Jeon Kyung-cheol remarked, "My son didn't sleep a wink that day. He kept looking at me without falling asleep," while his son got into the car after leaving behind the gift of saying "Dad."

At the same time, images depicting writer Jeon Kyung-cheol's dream of 'Neverland' were also shown. He stated, "I have something I must do with a clear mind. I dreamed of 'Neverland.' It is to build a village where severely developmentally disabled people can live together and go there with my son. I wanted to hear the words, 'I knew Dad would make it happen.'"

As words he wished to say to his son, writer Jeon Kyung-cheol said, "I want to tell him to forget completely about me as a father and live only for his happiness, but that wouldn't be honest. There is a man vaguely remembered. He was someone much older than me who suddenly aged all at once. Whenever he looked at me, I felt very warm, and there was someone who prepared many delicious meals for me. Even if you don't remember exactly who it was, I hope you will remember that there is someone you suddenly miss when you think back." He added, "I will hold our handsome baby who brought me happiness for 27 years in my arms."

'You Quiz on the Block' team paid tribute through subtitles with the message: "We respectfully offer prayers for the repose of the late writer Jeon Kyung-cheol after he finished his happy picnic."
