Stylist Seo Soo-kyung has shared heartfelt farewell messages for the late YouTuber Daeddo Gwan (real name Na Dong-hyun), revealing photos from his wake and urn. Seo Soo-kyung took to her Instagram on the 10th, describing the four-day funeral as a "spectacular and lively party, just like you, Oppa."

She reminisced about shared moments, including a recent golf game where Daeddo Gwan achieved an eagle with a long put, and his generosity in treating friends at a sushi restaurant. "We were always together, making delicious home-cooked meals and enjoying good wine," she wrote, highlighting his bright and kind nature. "When we were together, the conversation never stopped… I can't believe we didn't chat in our usual KakaoTalk room for just two days because we were busy."

Seo Soo-kyung continued, expressing her sorrow over his unfinished plans: "You still had so much you wanted to do and experience. You're wearing a beautiful white outfit with gold embroidery, having fun in a wonderful place now. I've said all the things you wanted to say, all the things you wanted to boast about… I'll continue to speak for you. Rest peacefully, and we'll meet again."

Concluding her message, she added, "Today was supposed to be your eagle party golf day… It's like you planned it perfectly, just like a broadcaster would. Goodbye, Oppa."

Daeddo Gwan passed away at his home in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, on the 6th at the age of 46. The cause of death was later revealed by his ex-wife, YouTuber Yum Yum, to be a cerebral hemorrhage.

Daeddo Gwan, born Na Dong-hyun, was a pioneering YouTuber in South Korea, launching his channel in 2011. He was known for his diverse content, including gaming, talk shows, and mukbang (eating broadcasts), which garnered a large and loyal following. His wit and candid communication style were hallmarks of his online persona. His marriage to fellow YouTuber Yum Yum also garnered significant public attention.
