A heartwarming story about comedian Kim Gyu-won has been shared.

Illustrator Kikuni publicly revealed the submitted story as an illustration on the 7th. The protagonist in the story was Kim Gyu-won.

The submitter began by saying, "The child was born with muscular dystrophy and suddenly started using a wheelchair in fourth grade of elementary school. I don't know how nervous and worried my son and I were on the day he first attended school while riding a wheelchair."

He continued, "We received help from public service personnel working at the school. While there were many kind people, some showed annoyance toward the child and openly said they 'couldn't do it,' so the child often felt uneasy or upset and cried alone repeatedly. However, in fifth grade, we met a truly wonderful public service teacher who listened carefully to the child's stories and treated him with great affection."

According to the submitter, Kim Gyu-won personally washed the child's soiled underwear after a urination accident and hung it out to dry in the sunlight. The submitter added, "When I apologized profusely, he instead said, 'You shouldn't have called me; you must be worrying about your mother,' expressing his own apology."

Later, Kim Gyu-won was released from duty and exchanged final goodbyes with lingering regrets. The submitter shared, "We promised that when we parted, he would attend the child's graduation ceremony. He truly came with gifts and a bouquet of flowers. Since he contracted COVID-19 at the time and couldn't attend the graduation ceremony, he left the flowers and gifts in front of our house. One day, I saw him on TV and noticed he was becoming a top comedian. Overjoyed, I contacted him, and he remembered me, promising to come to my child's middle school graduation if his schedule allowed."

He also added, "Just hearing from you was enough to be grateful, but you actually came. Our family is so happy that our teacher has succeeded. For us, you are the number one celebrity overall. We pray for your continued success in all your endeavors."

Meanwhile, Kim Gyu-won debuted in 2023 on tvN's 'Comedy Big League.' That same year, he gained widespread popularity by appearing in seasons 5 through 7 of Coupang Play's 'SNL Korea.' Recently, he received the New Male Variety Award at the Blue Dragon Series Awards.
