The story of a grandfather in his 90s, a Korean War veteran, visiting a nail shop has become a hot topic.
On the 11th, several online communities recently shared a video posted on their SNS by the president of a nail shop in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, under the title Grandpa who came to the nail shop to shave his nails.
The video showed A, the owner of a nail shop, carefully trimming his grandfather's nails.
A said in the caption of the video, "I heard you came by subway because your hands were shaking and couldn't sharpen them. I remembered my grandfather," he wrote.
Grandfather admired the neatly trimmed nails and asked the price, saying, "It's pretty," and A said, "I won't take money because it's less than 30 minutes."
Then the grandfather said, "You can't just go. I'll give you whatever I want to give you," he said, taking out a 5,000 won bill.
As Mr. A repeatedly dissuaded him, his grandfather said, "I'll come again next time," and handed over the money.
The video was viewed more than 940,000 times and received great attention from netizens.
Since then, A released a video of the elderly's second visit on the 21st of last month. In the video, the identity of the elderly customer was also revealed. He is 93 years old this year and is also a Korean War veteran. Whenever I passed by A's nail shop, I was worried about monthly rent when I saw a store without customers.

On the 5th, the third video was released. This time, the hat of the Korean War veterans worn by the elderly was also unveiled. This time, the old man bought egg bread and distributed it to A and the customers, and A also had a warm conversation while sharing rice cakes.
On this day, after organizing my nails, I even went into organizing my toenails. The grandfather customer was satisfied with the neat claws, saying, "I try to do this kind of favor."
Mr. A said, "My grandfather's house is about 20 minutes away, but he passes by our store every week when he takes a bath," and added, "If we make eye contact at that time, I tell him to come in and have a cup of hot tea and go. He said, "He came in shyly and solved the story of the Korean War for a long time."
The video garnered more than 1 million views and spread to various online communities.
Netizens said, "It's a warm story. The boss is such an angel. "I wish you prosper," "I was choked up these days when I only heard bad news," "I hope these days will be filled with stories," and "Old people have a hard time cutting nails and toenails." My grandfather was also a man of merit, and he was a man who really cared about his appearance in his life. I miss my grandfather."
