Actor Yoon Si-yoon has newly joined the cast of the SBS variety show, My Little Old Boy. In a first for the actor, he revealed his home and private life in an hour-long segment dedicated solely to him, drawing a great deal of attention. The personas he showed on the broadcast include ‘Alarm King,’ ‘Planning King,’ ‘Cleaning King,’ ‘Organization King,’ ‘Car Wash King,’ ‘Self-Control King,’ and ‘Effort King.’ These are traits rarely seen, even individually, in the average person. Among them, his habit of planning a month’s worth of outfits in advance was particularly impressive.
Another space appeared within Yoon Si-yoon’s game room: his closet. Inside, clothes were perfectly categorized by type and color.
Yoon Si-yoon: “I want my closet to be in great condition, like a clothing store. To do that, you can’t have too many clothes. The clothes shouldn’t overlap (referring to the evenly spaced clothes). There’s a maximum number of hangers that can fit on the rack. If I run out of hangers? Then I get rid of clothes.”
Yoon Si-yoon then spreads out his accessory case and clothes in the living room.
Yoon Si-yoon: “Let’s set up the plan for June.”
His May calendar is already filled with photos of his outfits. He had attached pictures of his daily styles in advance, even for his days off.
Production Staff: “Are you interested in fashion?” Yoon Si-yoon: “No. I was even chosen for a ‘worst dressed’ list in the past. As I’m turning 40, I want to try changing my style, and I think I need to challenge myself with clothes that aren’t my usual style, even for daily wear. But since I have no interest in clothes, don’t dress well, and lack confidence, I’ve decided to consult with my stylist to plan a month’s worth of outfits in advance and just wear them according to the plan.”
His phone contains the outfits discussed with his stylist. Today is the day he tries on the pre-planned outfits for June. The June 1st outfit is an all-black look he will wear on a date with his mother. After trying it on, he takes a photo for confirmation. Si-yoon chooses the accessories himself. He selects two pearl necklaces. Then, a pearl bracelet to match. The result is a ‘too much’ look, covered in pearls. Next is a black jacket with white pants, and again, two pearl necklaces.
Production Staff: “What is your favorite accessory?” Yoon Si-yoon: “Pearls! I think pearls are great. They somehow make me feel healthier. I like a retro vibe, and pearls fit that perfectly. I love pearls so much.”
His accessory box is full of pearls. A pearl necklace with a black jumper. A pearl necklace with a white shirt. A pearl necklace with a leather jacket. A pearl necklace with a blue shirt.
He is a man who is truly serious about his pearls. After confirming the outfits, he begins writing something down.
Yoon Si-yoon: “I can wear the white outfit in Singapore, so I should make this my airport fashion.”
He is recording each outfit he just tried on in his calendar.
For script readings, I’ll mostly wear suits.
I should wear a white t-shirt to the baseball game. For the first rehearsal… When visiting grandma… When meeting mom…
Once he finishes coordinating his daily wear, the June outfit plan is complete.
Actor Choi Jin-hyuk’s mother: “I think he’s the first celebrity ever to plan a month’s worth of clothes.”
He takes something out of a drawer. He places a t-shirt on top of it and folds it perfectly. He manages his t-shirts with the same care as a clothing store, keeping each one neat. He places the beautifully folded shirt back exactly where it was in the closet, ensures the space between the shirts is uniform, and finishes with a fragrance spray.
Singer Daniel: “I’m curious. I’d like to try living with that exact routine.”
