According to media reports, Jo Sang-hyeon (30) presented a bouquet to the owner on the final business day of a regular repair shop that has been operating since 1997. He stated that he wanted to express his feelings as the shop is closing due to building demolition and reconstruction.

Jo has maintained a relationship with the owner for 10 years, bringing in items such as pants for repair. It is said that the owner treated Jo like a biological grandmother, even looking after him with food. Upon receiving the bouquet, the owner was initially surprised and hesitated to accept it, but eventually took a photo holding the flowers.

The owner attempted to give Jo 30,000 won in cash as a return gesture, but Jo declined with a joke. The two shared a conversation inside the shop, and the owner wiped away tears. Jo gave the owner a hug and offered words of gratitude for her hard work. It was reported that the owner promised to rest and then return.
