On the 17th, Jeong collapsed while performing delivery duties in the complex, complaining of breathing difficulties and other pains. With the help of his wife, who was working alongside him, he went to the emergency room. Jeong had felt unwell even before starting work that day but could not postpone his duties due to the delivery of fresh food.

Jeong, who had been suffering from cardiovascular disease, reportedly collapsed due to a blood clot in his blood vessels at the time.

While Jeong was undergoing surgery, his wife sent a message to residents of the five apartment buildings saying, "Hello, this is the delivery courier. Today, my husband came to the emergency room because his heart condition worsened during delivery. He is currently undergoing surgery. Unfortunately, we cannot make deliveries today. We will resume deliveries as soon as he recovers. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Upon hearing this news, the resident representatives initiated a fundraising campaign on the 19th, two days after the accident, to help with hospital expenses. A total of 2.48 million won was raised by 107 residents by the 21st. Although the fundraising was initially scheduled to continue until the 27th, it ended early as the target amount was quickly reached.

On the 22nd, representatives of the resident committee met the couple and delivered the collected funds along with a letter. The letter contained a message of support: "To our residents, the courier is a member of our community whom we cannot overlook. Although it is not a large amount, we hope this contribution will help and express our wishes for the courier’s health."

Jeong is currently reported to have completed surgery, been discharged from the hospital, and is recovering his health.
