Hong Won-ki is the only child diagnosed with progeria syndrome in South Korea. Progeria syndrome, also known as the “Benjamin Button” disease, is an extremely rare, progressive genetic disorder that rapidly ages children.
This means, Won-ki suffers from an advanced aging syndrome and his body age is over 60 years old. Rather than despair, he opened up a YouTube channel with his family to spread hope to others.
Korea Now interviewed Won-ki and talked about the reason why he started YouTube. I hope you guys enjoy this interview!
