[Financial News] A story about a 93-year-old father who hesitated for a long time before asking his youngest daughter for seasoned fried chicken has drawn widespread attention. A heartwarming follow-up has added to the story's appeal.

On the 10th, a woman identified only as A shared an anecdote about what happened with her 93-year-old father on a Social Networking Service (SNS). The post received 800,000 views within a day, attracting intense interest.
A said her father called at around 4:30 p.m. and told her, "Is that you, my youngest daughter? You know that seasoned fried chicken you bought me last time? I've been thinking about it because I want to eat it, so I called. I tried to resist, but I keep thinking about it."
She immediately replied, "I'll order it for you right away. Please wait just 30 minutes." When her father responded, "I'm sorry," she reportedly burst into tears while ordering the chicken.
A explained why she cried, saying, "It's only chicken—why did my 93-year-old father have to hesitate so much before calling?"
She also shared the news with her siblings. Her older brothers and sisters reportedly became emotional and felt heartbroken thinking about their father.

After hearing about the story, a chicken company gave A a gift certificate worth 200,000 won, along with a warm message.
Then, on the 19th, another part of the story emerged. A said on SNS that after taking her father to a hospital and a Korean medicine clinic, she used the gift certificate to order nine chickens and share them with elderly residents in the neighborhood.
The total order came to 207,000 won. The restaurant owner contacted the head office to confirm how the gift certificate could be used and learned about A's story in the process. The owner reportedly said, "The 7,000 won is on us," and did not charge her the difference.
A said the neighborhood seniors were delighted to receive the chicken. "I made sure to hug each of the women, and they patted me on the back, saying, 'Thank you for taking good care of your father. You're lovely.' I was moved to tears because they reminded me of my mother," she said.
Her father was also very happy and laughed heartily when he heard that she was sharing the chicken with the neighborhood seniors.
Netizens who read the story commented, "What a heartwarming act of kindness toward a devoted daughter. I guess the world is still worth living in after all," "This is so heartwarming," and "I hope her father had a wonderful time and enjoys a happy remainder of his life."
