'Real Story Exploration' paid tribute to the late Jeon Kyung-cheol by releasing his final message to his son while he was alive.

On the 8th, the production team of MBC's 'Real Story Exploration' released a video on its official social media channel to honor writer Jeon Kyung-cheol, who passed away on the 5th.

The video features the late writer's message to his son, whom he would leave behind alone, which was shared during his appearance on the program in March.

Writer Jeon Kyung-cheol said, "There is one last thing I ask of you, my son. You don't have to remember me by the title 'Dad.' Just remember that there was a man whose gaze toward you was always warm. Please remember my traces faintly." He spoke these words to his son.

He continued, "Always think that wherever you are, Dad is waiting for you. Believe that you can see me again anytime, and always feel that I am by your side. As befits my son, I believe you will continue to live well as a cool and handsome young man. You've done great, my son. Fighting." He conveyed his final wishes.

Additionally, the late writer said "Hello! See you again!" to his son while waving his hand. The screen then showed a bright memorial portrait of the deceased smiling warmly.

Along with this, the 'Real Story Exploration' production team honored the late writer, saying, "We will remember Jeon Kyung-cheol, who dreamed of Neverland where countless Peter Pans could stay. We sincerely pray for his peaceful rest."

Meanwhile, writer Jeon Kyung-cheol passed away at 7:56 p.m. on the 5th after battling liver cancer. Following his wishes, his funeral was held as a simple memorial service without an open casket.

Writer Jeon Kyung-cheol was a father who cared for his son, who has severe autism with a mental age of 2 to 3 years old, alone for 27 years. He shared his experiences in the essay 'Hello, Peter Pan,' which earned him the title 'Peter Pan's Father.'

Notably, even after being diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and given a limited life expectancy, the late writer worried about his son's future life after he was gone. To ensure his son could live stably, he personally visited various locations across the country and also dreamed of creating a community where people with developmental disabilities and their families could live together with peace of mind.

His story gained widespread attention after being featured on MBC's 'Real Story Exploration' in March last month, followed by an appearance on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' earlier this month.
