Jeon Kyung-cheol, known as the 'Dad of Peter Pan,' has passed away. This news came just 24 days after his appearance on 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter referred to as 'You Quiz').

Developmental Disability Support Center Moon Ga-po-reom (CEO) announced Jeon Kyung-cheol's passing via SNS on the 6th, stating, "The Dad of Peter Pan has departed on a long journey." According to this, the late writer passed away at 7:56 p.m. on the 5th.

The late writer's funeral will proceed as a non-viewing funeral in accordance with his wishes. Currently, the deceased's body is being held at a hospital, and no separate viewing room has been prepared.

Writer Jeon Kyung-cheol cared for his son, Je-won, who suffers from severe autism, alone for 27 years. His story garnered widespread attention after it was revealed through MBC's 'Real Story Expedition' in March.

At that time, Writer Jeon was caring for both his son, whose social age was at a two-year-old level, and his mother, who suffered from dementia and cerebral infarction. During this period, he was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and received a prognosis that he had approximately six months to live if he did not undergo treatment.

However, Writer Jeon worried more about his son's future than his own treatment. He focused on securing a stable home for his son, who would be left alone after he passed away. This story was also included in his self-written essay, 'Hello, Peter Pan.'

On the 12th of last month, he appeared on tvN's variety program 'You Quiz' and directly shared news that he had found a new home for his son Je-won, receiving many congratulations.

However, sadness is growing over the news of his passing just 24 days after his appearance on 'You Quiz.'
