The final travel video of Jin Sseurebul (real name Jo Jin-woo), a travel YouTuber who died in a traffic accident in Bolivia, is set to be released.

On Friday, Jin Sseurebul's older sibling announced through the YouTube channel that a pre-edited video of Jin-woo's last journey had been found while checking the account. The video was scheduled to go live at 6:15 p.m. Saturday, Korean Standard Time.

"The bereaved family is currently on their way to Bolivia," the sibling said, and went on to say, "While Jin-woo makes his way safely back to Korea, we hope you will share in the last gift he left behind and remember our Jin-woo for a long time to come."

Jin Sseurebul died Wednesday (local time) after being struck by a large freight truck while cycling in El Alto, Bolivia. He was 33.

According to local Bolivian media, the truck driver fled the scene but was apprehended by police several hours later. The driver remains in custody and told investigators during the probe that he had not seen the bicycle.

Jin Sseurebul launched his YouTube channel in 2020 and had built a wide following with videos documenting his bicycle travels around the world.
