However, on Tuesday, July 30, Woo-chi and his friend came across something that left them horrified — and now, his name is gettingplastered across Korean news outletsdue to his discovery.
That day, the YouTuber and his buddy were exploring a supposedly abandoned villa in Gangwon Province when they found a white sedan parked beside a partition separating two properties.
“I think there’s a person in the vehicle, but it’s a little weird, so I turned on the real-time broadcast,” Woo-chi explained in hisvideo chronicling the situation,which was posted on August 15, 2025.
After knocking on the car’s window and getting no reaction, the two called authorities, who confirmed that the person inside was not responsive. A fire crew eventually pried the vehicle’s door open, revealing a corpse inside.
Woo-chi’s discovery can be viewed on his YouTube channel — a video titled, ‘[Actual situation] May the deceased rest in peace.’ It already boasts nearly half a million views just 24 hours after being published as comments pour in, shocked at what he experienced and thanking him for alerting authorities about the situation.
“You did something good unintentionally,” one viewer wrote. “Thank you for your effort.”
“My husband is a rescue firefighter,” another said. “He suffers from more trauma than expected in a situation like that. He says he is glad that you found it and was able to return it to their family. May the deceased rest in peace.”
