"Top Korean Actress Battles Illness Alone in France Amid Husband and Daughter's Indifference... 청원 Raised at Blue House"
[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] Allegations have been raised that a top-tier film actor who was active in the 1960s and 1970s has been left lonely and neglected in France amid indifference from their spouse and daughter.
On the 5th, a petition titled "Please save film actor Yoon** who is fading away day by day, isolated from the outside world" was posted on the Blue House's national petition board.
The author wrote, "Currently, Mr. Yoon is separated from his husband and is battling Alzheimer's and diabetes alone in an apartment on the outskirts of Paris without the care of his spouse," adding, "The husband, who has lived in their home for decades, stubbornly avoids his wife, so she cannot even enter the house."
They continued, "Although their daughter lives nearby, she is busy with her job and family life and cannot properly take care of her mother," and "Yoon is living a solitary battle with illness, neglected by his immediate family?his spouse and daughter. He cannot even go outside alone and lives like a prisoner."
The author expressed frustration, saying, "Yoon's siblings have repeatedly requested the daughter to allow free phone calls and visits, but the number and times were restricted as if visiting a prisoner in jail," and "His personal freedom is severely violated, and basic human rights cannot be found."
Regarding Yoon's spouse, it was stated, "He has not seen his wife for two years. Claiming he could no longer handle it, he left the care and treatment of his wife’s illness to the siblings, and suddenly appeared at the end of April 2019 with their daughter, forcibly waking Yoon from sleep and taking her away as if abducting her."
Furthermore, "Afterwards, Yoon's husband appeared in Seoul and voluntarily gave interviews to the media. He portrayed his spouse’s dementia, which should have been kept private, as if she were near death, unconscious, or senile," and "The cheerful Yoon was taken to France, hospitalized for a femoral fracture, and now looks 20 years older."
Finally, the author appealed, "Yoon has lived in Paris for a long time but loves Korea and Korean films and has not given up Korean nationality," adding, "Yoon always wished to spend her old age in Korea, and now, neglected by her immediate family and deprived of even basic human rights, we hope she can live the rest of her life comfortably in Korea."
As of 8 p.m. on the 21st, this petition has received 478 supporters.
