Movie actor Yoon Jung-hee (77, Son Mi-ja), who is suffering from dementia, was shocked by a petition to save him, saying that he was left alone in France while fighting.
On the 5th, on the Blue House National Petition Bulletin, a post titled’Please save A, a movie star who passes away day by day, disconnected from the outside.’
The petitioner said, “Mr. A is separated and not being cared for by his spouse. He is alone in an apartment outside Paris and is fighting Alzheimer’s and diabetes. If there is, or if someone asks her daughter to help, it doesn’t tell me.”
Lee petitioner said, “Mr. A is neglected by his immediate family, spouse and daughter, and most of the time alone is struggling with illness. Unfortunately, he cannot go outside alone and lives like a prison. Unfortunately, he cannot go outside alone and is like a prison. I’m concerned about living.”
He insisted, “I have a daughter nearby, but my life is busy with work and family life, so I cannot properly take care of my mother.” He also pointed out the neglect of Mr. A’s husband. He pointed out the unreasonable migration to France, saying that he avoided confrontation with his wife from when he was in Seoul until he moved to France.
Cheong Won-in said, “He said he couldn’t do it anymore, so he left the brothers to take care of Mr. A’s care.” “Mr. A was receiving diabetes, Alzha, outpatient, and inpatient treatment in Yeouido. He said it was better.”
“At that time, my husband was staying in a hotel for two months to avoid confrontation with his wife even though he was in Seoul. Then, at the end of April 2019, he suddenly appeared in Yeouido with his daughter and forcibly awakened the sleeping Mr. Insisted. That he left for France.
Petitioner said, “I asked my daughter to make phone calls and visits freely, but I set the number and time”. “Mr. A escaped from the current situation in which he was neglected by his immediate family and was deprived of even basic human rights. He said, “I hope you can spend the rest of your life comfortably while receiving treatment.”
The real name in the petition was anonymous because it violated the national petition requirements, but it is known that Mr. A is Jeong-hee Yoon based on the content written in the article. Yoon Jeong-hee married pianist Paik Kun-woo in 1976 and has a daughter. He is well known for having been fighting the disease in France since May 2019.
While grasping the authenticity is more important than anything else, attention is also being focused on Yoon Jeong-hee’s husband, Paik Kun-woo, in that the content of the petition is quite detailed.
Yoon Jung-hee’s fight against Alzheimer’s disease was announced in 2019 when her husband, pianist Paik Kun-woo and his daughter conducted an interview with the media. It was about 10 years after the onset of Alzheimer’s symptoms. And from May of that year, Jung-hee Yoon went to Paris, France, and began a nursing life.
In particular, this petition is even more shocking because it is a very different argument from that of Paik Kun-woo’s deep affection for Yoon Jung-hee. Paik Geon-woo also shed tears when he was awarded the trophy of Jung-hee Yoon, who received the Merit Artist Award at the ’10th Beautiful Artist Award’ held on November 6 last year.
At the time, he said, “As a filmmaker, Jung-hee Yoon is spending peaceful days in France with the care of his family and good friends.” He said, “Jung-hee Yoon habitually says that he will always shoot movies until the age of 90, and that he wants to do so. The last thing that remains with my memory as my memory goes away is to live with my heart. It seems like there are always screenplays and films in my head.”
At the same time, he said, “Fortunately, I am getting better with a regular life. I feel that my daughter, who always cares for her mother carefully even though it will be difficult, is bold.”
Meanwhile, Paik’s position has not yet come out.
