Speculation is mounting over the wellbeing of Yoon Jeong-hee, 77, who dominated the silver screen in the 1960s and 1970s as one of the three most-sought-after actresses, after an online petition claimed that the ailing star suffering from Alzheimer s disease and diabetes has been neglected by her immediate family ― her husband and daughter.
An anonymous person posted a petition on the website of Cheong Wa Dae, Friday, claiming, Yoon is in a lone fight against Alzheimer s and diabetes in an apartment in the suburbs of Paris without being properly cared for by her spouse, because they live apart. The real names that appeared in the original text were removed by the administrator for privacy reasons.

Major broadcasting networks are facing blistering criticism for pushing ahead with their year-end award ceremonies despite the raised social distancing level in the wake of the worsening COVID-19 situation in Korea.
The organizers announced earlier that the events would be held in accordance with the government-imposed preventive measures by having no live audience, installing glass shields and establishing social distancing among participants.
But with the successive confirmed cases among celebrities and other workers in the entertainment industry as well as the rise in the number of asymptomatic infections, the public is questioning whether the ceremonies with multiple attendees gathered in enclosed spaces are justified.
