A man who soothed his grief and longing by living in nature is moving viewers with his healing journey.
On March 18, 2026, the YouTube channel 'MBN Enter' uploaded a video titled "A Day I Met You — Natural Person Lee Young-dae | MBN 260323 Broadcast."
After saying goodbye to his only son, Lee Young-dae began a new life deep in nature. He shared that once he moved into the mountains, the insomnia and depression that tormented him disappeared. He welcomed a young guest around his son’s age, spending time together as they ate roasted chestnuts from a brazier and stone-plate grilled meat he crafted himself. He also served aromatic grilled sandfish infused with pine-needle fragrance, building a heartfelt connection with his visitor. To keep the fading memories of his son alive, he takes soothing half-body baths in herbal water brewed from elm and kalopanax. His peaceful, day-by-day healing in the wild is resonating powerfully with viewers.
"That kind of life is true healing. The power of nature is incredible." "It’s amazing how he’s learning to heal himself."
