  "summary": "Catholic priest Father Carlo Yoon Haeng-do, 65, is returning to the classroom to pursue a master's degree in social welfare at Kyungnam University in South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea. Following nearly three decades away from formal education, Yoon hopes to continue his service to the elderly population after retiring from active ministry, which typically ends at age 70. He emphasizes that \"there is no retirement from serving one's neighbors\" and believes that both the elderly and those providing care should engage in this work. Yoon currently serves as the head of Wolyeong Catholic Church and begins each day with prayer and church maintenance before tending to the surrounding alleyways.",
