93-year-old’s chicken craving turns into neighborhood feast
A heartwarming story about a 93-year-old Korean man and his daughter touched many people online. The elderly man called his daughter and asked her to order yangnyeom chicken, Korean fried chicken covered in a sweet and spicy sauce. He apologized for asking her to order it, which made his daughter emotional because she imagined how long he might have hesitated before making the request.
The daughter's story was shared on Threads and received more than 800,000 views in one day. After hearing the story, a fried chicken company gave her vouchers worth 200,000 won. She decided to use the vouchers to buy nine boxes of yangnyeom chicken for elderly residents living near her father's home before Chuseok.
The chicken order cost 207,000 won, but the restaurant owner waived the remaining 7,000 won after learning about the story. The elderly residents were very happy and thanked the daughter for taking good care of her father. Her father was also delighted when he heard about the neighborhood chicken party, although he did not understand social media and apparently thought his daughter had submitted his story to a TV or radio program.
