Twitch streamer Yoo "Jinnytty" got very emotional during a recent broadcast after she opened a package from a fan who had passed away from cancer. The fan, whose username was dustbuster, sent the content creator a couple of rare Carpenters records. Apparently, dustbuster was a great fan of the South Korean personality and loved that she had sung one of the musical duo's songs in a livestream.
Jinnytty was doing a PO Box livestream, opening various parcels sent by her fans, when she came across the box set containing two signed Carpenters records. The letter provided by dustbuster confirmed that one of the records was an unreleased one.
It touched the content creator's heart that the fan, who passed away after a battle with cancer, would go to such lengths to gift her such an impossibly thoughtful gift.
