I almost cried when he came out looking like he was going out for a formal dinner. He’s so cute and still grateful for the kind of life he has. He does not wallow in self-pity.Everything about this is special. Even the caregiver was so touched.

My dad is a Korean War combat veteran and will be 91 next month. He is definitely fortunate not to be living in these conditions. These heroes deserve all the best.

This man deserves all the credit. He has sacrificed so much for the sake of the nation and its people. I hope, in some way, his ultimate wish will be granted. Thank you, Asian Boss, for interviewing him. Continue to inspire people.

I’m a 53 year old adult, and this made me cry like a baby. It’s great to see you folks helping to get him some recognition, and especially get him settled in where he’d like to be buried.

Thanks for bringing stories like this. You do amazing work.

Being a caregiver is absolutely not easy , the mental toll it takes is just excruciating at one point. Props to her for doing it for over 10 years. An angel on earth

Elders in all countries need to be given a platform to record & share their stories and wisdom with the younger generations before it is lost. After I lost my mum and dad I realised just how much of their lives was a mystery to me. I had questions that would never be answered about family, their experiences and general knowledge they could have taught me. I love listening to elders tell me about their lives as things were so very different in their day. It makes you appreciative of what you have and of how much previous generations did for us.

i can't stop crying, we should always respect our elders. thank you for doing this to him!

holy crap I'm a big boy but I unexpectedly actually started shedding some tears when they greeted him. imagine being him and just seeing all these younger people appreciating your sacrifices. damn, you did good asian boss.

My grandpa was a Korean War Vet too. It’s wonderful to see him cared for and his words were very powerful thank you for giving us this.

Please keep projects like this, just by sharing news you guys already do a great job but we can help more people working together

It was quite touching what you did for grandpa. Thank you for getting his story on video. You went above and beyond when you rewarded his caretaker. She deserved that recognition. That showed a level of thought that others would not have. Most excellent job. Keep up the wonderful content.

97 y.o grandpa having malnutrition, breaks my hearth, he's a war veteran, shame on the government!!! Thank you so much Asian Boss and Give Asia. God bless him with love and health.

I'm not crying 🥺 You are 😭 I hope more war veterans are never forgotten. They sacrifice their lives for their country. Salute to Grandpa Lee.

He is such a beautiful human being. I could feel the kindness and warmth in his soul. He has no bittness in his heart. I hope this video starts a movement in South Korea for people to demand that war veterans are taken care of properly.

The line where he said "Who's thinking of us now? No one." just broke me. Kudos Asian Boss.

The story definitely resonated with me very deeply. I was adopted to the United States in the 60s due to the poverty in Korea. After 50 + years, I recently found some of my biological family in South Korea, which I hope to someday meet soon. Great story Asian boss!!

This is why I'm so glad this channel could carry on after their fundraising campaign. Thank for everything you do guys, it's such a nice change to see some positivity and heartwarming stories with all the bleak news

I hope not only young Koreans but even me an American hearing him pass the baton to the younger generation is so heartwarming and inspiring

The fact he downplays his own trauma and shows so much humility you know just how humble and kind he is.

What a graceful grandpa. He exudes so much positive energy! I hope he gets healthier with more food. And god bless the caretaker. What am Angel. Thank you Asian Boss!

All I can say is that I'm proud he got all of his last wishes fulfilled. God bless him and his caretaker as well, wishing them well.

I'm crying when he reacted at the money for him. His face of happiness was the trigger for me to be very happy for him and I suddenly feel like crying and my tears just continued pouring 🤧😭😭😭

It's a shame he served his country honorably and just ended up living in poverty. At least he seems to have met a good caretaker. I can't say the same about the caretakers I've met where I live.

So very touching. Both the grandpa and his caregiver is so deserving. Thank you Asian Boss

This should be trending! If the younger generation of S. Korea has any respect for what has been done to purchase their abundant prosperity!

Thank you so much. What you did was a beautiful thing you can do for someone else.

This inspires me to also visit a Korean war veteran back home. Although there were many, it has been 70 years and there is limited time left to hear their stories, and personally thank them for fighting for my freedoms.

This uncle is so healthy and speaks so well. I am so happy that Asian Boss is doing this for the war veteran and bringing so much love and joy. Wishing uncle good health :)

Stephen Park, you’re a blessing. I know only bits and pieces of what I’ve seen on your channel. You seem to have sacrificed so much for your enterprise and to bring such uplifting and important stories during these difficult times. A huge thank you from me, a random stranger. I appreciate all you and your team do, and inspire me to do my part as well.

Im so glad Mr Lee was treated with dignity and respect. I teared up when he was presented with gifts that meant so much to him. Also a huge shout out to his caregiver

This channel is truly unique in the range of subjects it covers. From street interviews for opinions and viewpoints on socio, cultural and political matters to mini documentaries. A wholesome channel which never crosses over to sensationalism. The manner of the interviews and documentaries makes it become relevant to me even though I live in India and have absolutely no connection to Korea or other Asian countries. As a passive viewer of news, AB videos invariably exercise my brain as I begin thinking over the video subject I have just watched. God Bless Asian Boss team with good health and spirit always.

Thanks! This was a wonderful presentation, Asian Boss! Keep doing what you are doing!

I am so glad Grandpa had this moment to receive such love. No one should ever suffer from a lack. Sadly Veterans all over the world are left behind with a lack of services, not just Korea. This Grandpa, like so many, sacrificed so much for their countries and should be treated with respect and care. Grandpa deserves to be at the National Cemetry. I hope when the time comes he gets his wish.

I like him, he didn't blame the government even though the government probably have a piece in his situation but he just brush it off and said "well they're poor back in the days" like he expect nothing from them since they can't even organize themselves back then. He's basically saying like "Well what can i say, there's a lot of people to feed. Not just me"

I’m korean and the granpa’s speaking korean is so clear. he never mumbles

There is so much injustice in the world, seeing a video like this helping to rebalance things in the right direction brings me so much joy. Thank you for all your hard work.

I am so proud to be Korean. I will have to come back and visit. Donate my time to KLC. What an amazing program.

I agree that war veterans should be treated better, no matter where they are from, whether they are from the winning side or losing side. They have sacrifice so much for their countries and now in their old age they should be taken care off

The respect showed to this war veteran was incredible. You guys really reached out to someone in need and gave him so much happines

It does not matter that he is North Korean at the end of day he fought in a war which is truly hard for all sides, he deserves respect ❤️ Thankyou for helping him !

What a wonderful man and his caretaker is amazing too. Thank you for letting us meet them and for all you did for them! God bless you guys ♥

我在韩国大邱生活过一年，深刻感受过社区生活的温暖。不少热心人为身边需要帮助的人献上自己的绵薄之力。 Asian Boss 的作为让人钦佩! 我相信在韩国还有很多像这个节目里的热心主持人和年轻人。真心祝福你们! 传递温暖，上帝祝福你们。

Knowing what our elders went through with Japan and the war all Korean War veterans in Korea should get free housing,food,utility and etc.

My grandpa was in the Korean war...im so glad this man was helped out. 🥺

"When I die, I'm going to meet her husband." I'm crying so hard.

It's honestly so heart-wrenching to know so many elders in general are just alone in poverty, forgotten and ignored by the government. I'm thankful we got to know Grandpa Lee's story.

Perhaps AB could also consider interviewing Korean War veterans from China mainland? Just saying.

Thank you for also acknowledging the care taker too. She's a shining example for us all.

How wonderful for these 2 people to know that people still care about them. This was wonderful - my heart felt for them. It's also wonderful to hear about this organization that is helping the elderly. Thank you.

Oh god! I’m around 2 mins in and already crying 😭 how can the government neglect senior citizens at their ripe old age! 😡 it’s just not ok! This man is an educated citizen that gave his life to the country! They better wake up and take care of him and grant him all his wishes 😢 and to the beautiful woman that cares for him, I don’t even have words to describe what a blessing you are to the world!

Thanks to the old lady that is taking care of our hero for 10 years ...thats incredible..

This why Asian Boss is my favorite channel on KZfaq just great stories. This Grandpa deserves so much love. His caretaker is also a grat lady to take of a Grandpa that isn't her Grandpa. I lived in Seoul when I was kid I'll never forget the Grandpa that let me sit on his lap on a bus properly my fondest memory of living in Korea I'll never forget him even though it was a short bus ride.

i’m honored to have been a viewer for the past few years. Thank you for all you do!

He was not taken care of. Why. It made me very sad. Government, Please take care of him better.

So difficult to watch the elderly suffer. We have the department of veterans affair in Australia. War heroes are recognized for their work and are supported heavily by the government until they pass. You did an amazing thing for this man. Your whole team should be so proud! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

at 91 he's still smart, happy, grateful, and witty too. He deserves all the good things ♥

this video is so perfect, i hope grandpa can eat his favorite foods whenever he wants now! something that touched me is also you took care of his caretaker. My grandma had a caretaker like her, who treated her like her own mother. she became part of our family and was always beside my grandma whenever she needed any kind of help. She was also there when my grandma took her last breath. She was there to support my grandma and also the rest of us during those difficult times. I truly can not give enough thanks to my grandma's caretaker, and even though she has great skill in elder care, she decided to stay with our family to be part of our hospitality business as well even after my grandma's passing. I guess she also sees us as family too.

This gave me chills!!!!! 😢😢😢 what an amazing soul! Thank you Asian Boss!!!

kudos to him for fighting for the side of south korea.. what a jovial guy to talk with..a legend.. come on, south korean.. take care of your elders.. he was among the braves who defended south korea for it to exist and flourished. where are those untouchable chaebol with their much money? Help them poor people!! he don't deserve to live like that.

I don’t know of anyone else mentioned this in the comments I’m gonna say it now holy crap he looks amazing I would’ve thought he was in his 70s not 91 he looks freaking awesome keep doing what he’s doing I swear

im a 32 y o Filipina and my grandad was a war veteran. He crossed the other side at the tender age of 93. I dont know if he was alone when he died or what but this video made me tear up. Its tears of joy 😘 Im just so happy a fellow war veteran from another country is getting all these love You know Asian Boss and company? You deserve all the compensation you get and deserve You are a blessing to this chaotic world of the interwebs. Please always be safe and healthy 😘 And thank you for this gentle reminder of my grandad 🥳

I can't stomach the fact that they let him down by allowing him to live his life in the slums. Kpop, k dramas, k beauty products.. they'll have none of those things if it weren't for the men who fought in the war.

The grandpa is just so adorable. I want to thank the caretaker. She loves and takes care of him so well. Thank you Asian Boss as well for doing all of this for the Grandpa and her. I pray that he will get his final wish.

할아버지 ~ 고생많으셨습니다!!! 그리고 너무 감사합니다 💕 할아버지 건강하고 행복하세요 ❤

I have huge respect for this company. You guys make such a great, GREAT job! well done!

What a heartwarming surprise for him, what a special person both he and his caregiver is. I teared up when I heard what food would be served because nothing can make you feel like childhood food can. He has had a difficult life and I think it was meaningful to not feel forgotten.

its sad that he just accepted being forgotten. No war veteran should feel that way and live this way.

He’s such a handsome and cute grandpa. Wishing him great health and happiness. We need to look after the elderly. This made me tear up ❤

this makes me so incredibly happy he was able to really enjoy life again eating with the volunteers, they were so sweet to him. also, thank you for gifting to his wonderful caregiver, i’m sure she felt immensely happy. thank you asian boss!

It was a mistake to watch this as I get ready to go to work. Now I'm heading in with red, puffy eyes. Great video though--well worth the watch! My respect to this brave man!!! 🙏

For 91 he looks good, speaks loud and clear, and pretty much is in good health for that age.

As a fellow Korean, loving history and that was born in Korea and moved to Germany when I was 7 years old this had me bursting into tears. Thanks for caring and acknowledging the sacrifices these brave hero soldiers have made to bring SK to the prosperity it has now.

Thank you for spreading light in to this issue. Very emotional but glad I watched it.

I am tearing up watching this. As an American, it breaks my heart to know that this man and many other who fought to save their country had been forgotten or ignored by their country and their government while they have prospered due to their sacrifice. As with America, I feel the freedom and prosperity that the younger generations enjoys is taken for granted. My father was 20-yrs retired Air Force. Half the time we did not know where in the world he was while deployed. We just waiting and prayed. I hope the future generations will never have to know the horror these soldiers faced. With all the tension boiling right now, it may be a real possibility. Thank you for your service.

Wonderful words said by the grandpa . Love the video ❤ looking after our elders should be one priority .. to the lady caretaker you are and angel❤️

wow. this warms my heart. much love for this heroic grandpa who has a heart of gold! and thank you for Asian boss for sharing the ❤️!

This is very touching. Kinda reminds me of my late father, who would have been about the same age as Grandpa Lee. Please do more social projects like this, Stephen, Kei, and Asian Boss team. Thank you ❤️

Thank you so much for this video. It is great to see a non-political video, especially one with so much love and gratitude for the elderly.

So cute when he said 'oiishi' 🌸

Respect to him for fighting for Korea to be a better place.

That was so heartwarming and lovely gesture, I teared up too... Great job AB! He made me giggle tho when he said "too much money"... Hope grandpa is healthy and happy for more years to come

im not crying im just sweating from my eyes

He is nice person.may God bless him. I m fr Malaysia

What an incredible man. In spite of all he’s been through, he appears to think he simply did his duty rather than shaking his fist in anger at how he’s been unappreciated and neglected. Remarkably, he doesn’t resent the younger generations’ for their vastly better quality of life, which was built on his generation’s sacrifice. I have so much respect for him. Thank you, Asian Boss, for giving this exemplary man some part of what he’s deserved for decades.

I'm bawling my eyes out :') Thank you Asian Boss

It is the first thing that the government should do: taking care of the veterans. I can't believe this is still ongoing.

The PTSD must be awful. Its so hard think of anyone going through that.

That was a really heart warming story. This kind of videos make us recover the faith in humanity, and also smooths the heavy world situation. Thank you so much for this video!!!

Beautiful. Seems as though the right people remembered him just in time.

Not many people talk about the caretaker lady, and I think she is a hero in her own way too. She really looks sincere taking care of him. Thank you, Mrs. Choi!!!

The fact he's grateful for just a bad back shows true honour, his ability to count his blessings even if there are so few of them is admirable to say the least Also, him speaking English is the most wholesome thing on the planet, Jesus I love this guy

Korea exists because of brave men like him. Thank you for your service. We are ever so grateful 🥹 please stay healthy grandpa. ❤️🇰🇷

This war hero deserves all of the gifts! His caretaker is a guardian angel 😇. I hope all their wishes come true 💗

I am 48. Former US Marine. Live in Los Angeles. This made me shed a tear. I am happy for grandpa and his helper.

🤩🤗🥺🙏🌟 Because of these simple, grounded, selfless human beings, I keep believing and having faith in humankind! Thank you!

I can't get over how sharp he is for any age, and he's 91!

This was so incredibly touching. Thank you Asian Boss for all your programing and for the hard work that you do. ❤

For a nation to come from nothing and become a world leader, never forget where you were not too long a go. Take care of the people who got you there...
