After the story became known, a chicken company sent Mr. A a warm message along with a gift certificate worth 200,000 won. On September 19, Mr. A posted on SNS that after taking her father to the hospital and a Korean medicine clinic, she used the gifted certificate to order nine yangnyeom chickens and shared them with elderly neighbors in the village.

The total amount of the order was 207,000 won.

Mr. A added that the seniors in the village who received the chicken were delighted, saying, "I hugged the elderly ladies one by one. They thanked me for taking good care of my father and patted me on the back, calling me sweet. It brought tears to my eyes as I thought of my mother." She added, "Thanks to this, our entire neighborhood is having a yangnyeom chicken party."
