The manager of actor Sunwoo Yong-yeo revealed the story of staying by his side during his battle with a stroke.

On the 28th, MBC's "Full View" released a video on its official YouTube channel titled "Sunwoo Yong-yeo, who has been active for 60 years without a manager, meets a new person who stayed by his side even in difficult times."

In the released video, Sunwoo Yong-yeo's manager said, "I have known the teacher for nearly 15 years and have worked as a manager for about one year," adding, "My main job is being a broadcast writer."

He explained their long-standing relationship by saying, "I first met the teacher on Buddhist TV in 2012, and we spent more time together afterward."

The video also conveyed that Sunwoo Yong-yeo had been active for 60 years without a separate manager. He stated, "The teacher's family lives in the United States, and he has been active for 60 years without a manager. As a result, it was difficult to take care of his health, and there were even cases where he signed unfavorable contracts. Seeing that made me feel sad and upset."

Later, while creating YouTube content together with Sunwoo Yong-yeo, he naturally took on the role of manager as well. He explained, "As YouTube gained popularity, it became difficult to handle all the schedules alone. At that time, the teacher asked me to be his manager, so I started."

However, after directly experiencing the duties of a manager, he realized it was far more demanding than expected. He said, "Once I actually tried doing the manager's job, I just didn't want to do it anymore. By doing it myself, I finally understood why there is no time to eat. I once again realized how amazing managers are."

In particular, he became emotional when recalling the time Sunwoo Yong-yeo collapsed due to a stroke.

The manager said, "After the teacher had a stroke, his body became uncomfortable; even walking was difficult, and speaking was hard. I watched all of this from the side. It was a moment I didn't even want to think about."

He continued, "I was in the middle of recording another broadcast when suddenly I received a call from an unknown number. They told me, 'The teacher is looking for you, so please come quickly.' That's what happened at the time."

Rushing to the emergency room, he said, "It was too desperate. The teacher was unconscious and had difficulty speaking. Watching that process was extremely heartbreaking."

In particular, since Sunwoo Yong-yeo's family was in the United States, he felt he had no choice but to stay by his side. The manager stated, "I spent a long time with the teacher at the hospital. Since all of his family members are in the U.S., I ended up taking on the role of guardian."

He added, "It was heartbreaking to see him always so busy that he couldn't take care of himself. I thought there must be a reason why he reached out to me at such an urgent moment. At that time, I decided, 'I must stay by his side.'"
