YouTuber late Dae Gwan-do (real name Na Dong-hyun) has passed away for one year.

Dae Gwan-do was found deceased at his home in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, around 8:40 a.m. on September 6, 2025. He was 46 years old.

According to police, officers responded to a report from acquaintances that Dae Gwan-do had not shown up for an appointment and could not be reached, upon which they confirmed his death. No suicide note or signs of homicide were found at the scene.

To determine the exact cause of his sudden death, an autopsy was conducted. The National Forensic Service (NFS) confirmed that cerebral hemorrhage was the cause.

His widow, former wife and fellow YouTuber Yumdaeng (real name Lee Chae-won), stood by as the main mourner. Yumdaeng and the late Dae Gwan-do married in 2015 but divorced eight years later in 2023.

Yumdaeng shared on her social media: "I offer my deepest condolences to fans who must have been greatly shocked and heartbroken by this sudden news. When I arrived, Dae Do was exactly as I had always known him — peacefully closing his eyes." She added, "Although Dae Do has left our side, the laughter and warm heart he left behind will remain in our memories for a long time," expressing her grief.

Meanwhile, Dae Gwan-do was a first-generation internet broadcaster and operated as a YouTuber with 1.46 million subscribers. He also appeared on various entertainment programs including JTBC's "Online Life," Netflix's "The Influencer," and tvN Story's "Find Super K."
