Popular South Korean YouTuber Great Library (real name Na Dong-hyun) has passed away at the age of 46. The news was confirmed on September 6, when Seoul Gwangjin Police discovered him deceased at his home in Gwangjin-gu around 8:40 a.m.
According to authorities, Great Library’s acquaintances reported him missing after he failed to show up for a scheduled appointment and did not respond to calls. Police arrived at his residence and found him dead. No signs of foul play or a suicide note were reported at the scene.
Great Library, a gaming YouTuber with 1.44 million subscribers, rose to fame in the 2000s and consistently engaged audiences through online broadcasts, variety show appearances, and interactive skits. Known for his witty scenarios and dubbed commentary, he built a loyal fanbase called “Daechungja.”
On September 4, he participated in the 2026 S/S Seoul Fashion Week at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) and streamed a gaming session on the same day, showing he was active until recently.
He married fellow creator Yumdang (real name Lee Chae-won) in 2015, earning attention as a prominent creator couple, but they divorced in 2023. Following the news of Great Library’s passing, fans left condolences, while some maliciously targeted Yumdang’s social media accounts with hurtful comments.
A police official on the scene stated, “We have no further statements at this time. All possibilities, including pre-existing conditions, are being considered in the investigation.”
