Actor Yoon Shi-yoon’s daily routine shown on Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 left a strong impression. He allows no gaps in his life in order to become a better version of himself. He plans everything in advance and checks every schedule with alarms. The reason he manages himself so thoroughly becomes clear through his conversations on the show. “I feel most comfortable when I live according to my plan” — A day that starts with alarms 07:00 Wake up 07:03 Protein & supplements 07:07 Vocal warm-ups Every action from the moment he wakes up is signaled by alarms. Yoon Shi-yoon: “I set alarms and plan the next day’s schedule. I usually establish a monthly plan and weekly plan, then decide the next day’s tasks the night before. I need to assign time slots—what to do at what time. Why? Because if I don’t, I might go out and waste time meaninglessly. I’m terrified of becoming lazy. I’m actually a very lazy person, so if I don’t plan things, it doesn’t work. Really.” Producer: “Do you get anxious when time isn’t kept?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “I feel uneasy. The plan gets disrupted. I think I’m most comfortable when I live according to plan. I get energy from that.” Heading toward 5% body fat 07:50 Gym – Running He begins running as soon as he arrives at the gym. Producer: “You look like you’ve lost a lot of weight.” Yoon Shi-yoon: “I’m preparing for Taxi Driver 3. I imagined the character looking gaunt—almost skeletal—so I’m controlling my weight.” Producer: “What’s your current body-fat percentage?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “Last week, it was around 6.5%.” Producer: “What’s your goal?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “5%. To really make the six-pack visible, they say you need to drop to around 5%.” MC Seo Jang-hoon mentions that singer Kim Jong-kook is at 9% and Cristiano Ronaldo stays around 7%. Despite already losing 10kg for the role, Yoon Shi-yoon works out daily to reach his 5% goal. “I hate seeing things exposed” — The ultimate level of tidiness – Stovetop covered with a custom-made lid – Power outlets hidden behind covers – Sink without a single dish – Kitchen entirely concealed or neatly stored – Identical containers in each fridge compartment – Labeled produce in the vegetable drawer – Labeled items in the freezer – Post-its tracking ingredient usage Yoon Shi-yoon: “If you just leave ingredients in the fridge, you can’t manage them.” Producer: “Is this influenced by the military?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “I felt joy when organizing things during my time as a Marine. Haha.” “I believed opportunities would come again, so I had to master languages” — English & Japanese 10:00 English lesson (phone call) He discusses preparing for a new drama. Yoon Shi-yoon: “One day my mom suddenly handed me two English textbooks. I asked her, ‘What is this?’ and she said, ‘You’re on TV, but your English is too bad.’ I felt so pathetic. So many staff members are filming me, and I need to interact comfortably with foreigners, but… what have I been doing with my life? Why was I so lazy? I regretted it deeply. I was ashamed. I missed so many great opportunities because of language. I believed opportunities would come again, so I had to master languages.” His living-room shelves are filled with English books. After one hour, the English lesson ends. 11:00 Japanese lesson (phone call) He studies steadily for opportunities that he believes will eventually come. “If I start gaming, I can’t stop” — 15-minute gaming rule 13:00 Gaming time He enters his game room with consoles, retro games, and comics. It’s his first break of the day. But suddenly, the monitor turns off. Yoon Shi-yoon: “If I start gaming, it never ends, so I have to set a time limit. After 15–20 minutes, the monitor automatically turns off.” His rest time is exactly 15 minutes — another form of self-discipline. “I want my wardrobe to look like a clothing store” After gaming, he moves to the wardrobe inside the game room. Clothes are sorted by type and color. Yoon Shi-yoon: “I want my closet to be in top condition, like a shop display. To do that, I can’t have too many clothes. They can’t overlap. There’s a maximum number of hangers allowed. If I run out of hangers, I sort and remove clothes.” Planning a full month of outfits in advance He takes out his clothes and accessories and begins planning June’s outfits. The May calendar shows photos of daily outfits, including days off. Producer: “Are you interested in fashion?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “No. I was even once selected as a worst-dressed celebrity. Now that I’m in my 40s, I want a style change, but I have no sense of fashion and no confidence. So I consult a stylist, prepare a month of outfits, and follow the plan.” “Washing my car makes me feel calm” He drives to a self-car-wash station. Yoon Shi-yoon: “Washing my car calms me. It feels like I’m bonding with it through the machines. I wash it at least once a week.” He puts on a jumpsuit, then an apron, then headphones to block noise and enjoy music. He unloads countless car-wash tools and organizes them neatly: – Cleaning brushes – Pressure sprayer – Pre-wash detergent – Car shampoo – Tire cleaner – Tar remover – Oil-film remover – Polish 1 & 2 – Interior coating – Leather conditioner – Tire shine – Multiple microfiber cloths MC Seo Jang-hoon says even professional car washes don’t go this far. Yoon Shi-yoon: “I think I just love cleaning. I get excited seeing dirt, because I know I can clean it. I use hot steam, melt it down, wipe it… and watching it become clean is so satisfying.” It takes two hours just to clean the exterior. He says interior cleaning would take an additional two hours. The white car looks new — but it’s 12 years old. “I’m terrified of becoming lazy” After showering, he plates three pieces of finger

Actor Yoon Si-yoon’s appearance on Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 left a strong impression on viewers. His daily life showed that he allows absolutely no gaps in his self-management. Every part of his day is pre-planned, and he checks each schedule with alarms. The reason behind this strict lifestyle becomes clear through the conversations shown in the program. Relentless Morning Routine 07:00 Wake up 07:03 Take protein and supplements 07:07 Vocal practice With alarms ringing for every action from the moment he wakes up, the production team begins an interview. Yoon Si-yoon: “I set alarms and plan the next day in advance. I always make monthly and weekly plans, then finalize the next day’s schedule the night before. I have to decide exactly what I’ll do at every hour. Why? Because if I don’t, I’m afraid I’ll end up wasting time outside. I’m terrified of becoming lazy. I’m actually a very lazy person, so unless I set plans, I can’t function. Really. Truly.” Staff: “Do you get anxious when you fall behind schedule?” Yoon Si-yoon: “I get nervous. Things fall apart. I feel most comfortable when I live according to plan—that’s where I get my energy.” 07:50 — Intense Workout & Body Fat Goal Upon arriving at the gym, he immediately starts running. Staff: “You seem to have lost a lot of weight.” Yoon Si-yoon: “I’m preparing for Taxi Driver 3. I want my character to look extremely gaunt, so I’m controlling my weight.” He shares that his body fat last week measured 6.5%, and his goal is 5% to achieve a clear six-pack. MC Seo Jang-hoon notes that singer Kim Jong-kook is 9% and footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is around 7%. Yoon has already lost 10 kg and continues training intensely every day. A Kitchen Hidden for Perfect Order His kitchen is arranged with extreme minimalism: A custom-made cover hiding the gas stove Hidden electrical outlets A sink with no visible dishes All kitchen items concealed or stored Identical containers arranged by rows and columns Labeled vegetables and frozen ingredients Post-its tracking ingredient usage Yoon Si-yoon: “If I just leave ingredients in the fridge, I lose control.” Staff: “Is this influence from the military?” Yoon Si-yoon: “In the Marine Corps, I actually felt joy when organizing.” 10:00 — English Class / 11:00 — Japanese Class He takes English conversation lessons by phone, discussing preparations for his new drama. Yoon Si-yoon: “One day my mom gave me two English textbooks. She said, ‘You’re on TV but your English is too poor.’ I felt ashamed. So many staff members work with me, and I couldn’t communicate well with foreigners. I regretted how lazy I’d been. I believed another opportunity would come someday, so I decided I had to master languages.” His bookshelf is packed with English books. After an hour of English, he immediately moves to a Japanese conversation class—preparing for any future opportunity. 13:00 — Game Time (Strictly 15 Minutes) He enters his game room filled with consoles, retro systems, and comics—finally a break. But the monitor suddenly turns off. Yoon Si-yoon: “Gaming can go on endlessly, so I set a time limit. After 15–20 minutes, the monitor turns off automatically.” Even leisure time is strictly controlled. Closet Organized Like a Boutique Inside the game room is a walk-in closet where clothes are sorted by type and color. Yoon Si-yoon: “I want my closet to look like a boutique. That means I can’t own many clothes. If the hangers aren’t enough, I declutter.” He prepares his June outfit plan, laying out clothes and accessories. His May calendar is filled with photos of daily outfits—every look planned in advance. Staff: “Are you into fashion?” Yoon Si-yoon: “Not really. I was even selected as a worst-dressed celebrity once. But now in my 40s, I want to try new styles. Because I’m not confident, I work with a stylist to prepare a month of outfits in advance.” Weekly Car Wash Ritual — 2 Hours of Precision He drives to a self-service car wash. Yoon Si-yoon: “Washing my car calms me. Using big machines feels like talking to the car. I go at least once a week.” He changes into a jumpsuit, then adds an apron and noise-canceling headphones. His car wash supplies are meticulously organized: – Multiple cleaners, shampoos, brushes, steamers – Leather conditioners, waxes, microfiber towels – Every tool lined up neatly in rows Seo Jang-hoon comments that even professional garages don’t wash cars this meticulously. Yoon’s car, now 12 years old, looks brand new thanks to his care. Dinner: Smoky Whiskey Pairing Without Drinking After showering, he prepares three pieces of finger food and whiskey. Using wood chips and a dome, he infuses smoke into the drink. Yet he only smells the whiskey or touches a drop to his tongue with a pipette. Yoon Si-yoon: “Robert Downey Jr. only smells whiskey while filming, so I tried it. It works. When managing weight, alcohol is more harmful than food. I’ve avoided alcohol for six months, and that’s when my body fat finally dropped below 10%.” Digital Detox — The “Self-Control Box” He takes out a “self-discipline lock box” where he locks his phone before bed. Yoon Si-yoon: “If I look at my phone at night, dopamine keeps me awake. Suddenly it’s 2 a.m. So I lock the phone away.” At 10:00 PM, with his sleep mask on, he ends his extremely structured 15-hour day—a level of discipline nearly impossible for most people. Yoon Si-yoon: “I’m scared of becoming lazy. I’ve received so much love and opportunities at a young age. If I live recklessly, I feel guilty. So I push myself while comforting myself, always trying to improve.”

Actor Yoon Shi-yoon’s daily life, as featured on the reality show Same Bed, Different Dreams 2: You Are My Destiny (Dong Sang Imong 2), is truly impressive. He leaves no room for idleness in his pursuit of self-improvement, meticulously planning every minute of his schedule and relying on alarms to check off each task. The reason for his strict self-management is revealed in his own words from the program. The Fear of Laziness: Alarm-Driven Mornings 07:00 AM: Wake up 07:03 AM: Take protein/supplements 07:07 AM: Vocal practice As alarms go off for every action, starting right after he wakes up, a production crew interview follows: Yoon Shi-yoon: “I set alarms and pre-schedule my next day. Monthly and weekly plans are standard, and then I plan out the day’s tasks the night before and set alarms. I have to set specific time slots for everything: what to do at what time. There’s only one reason for this: I’m afraid I’ll go out and waste time meaninglessly if I don’t set a schedule. I’m terrified of becoming lazy. Because I am an incredibly lazy person, I have to set boundaries. Truly. Honestly.” Production Crew: “Do you get anxious if the schedule isn’t followed?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “I feel anxious because the plan gets messed up. I think I’m most comfortable when living according to a plan. I get energy from it.” Extreme Physical Training: Targeting 5% Body Fat 07:50 AM: Running at the gym. He starts running the moment he arrives. Production Crew: “You seem to have lost a lot of weight.” Yoon Shi-yoon: “I’m challenging myself for Taxi Driver 3. I want the character to look gaunt, almost emaciated, so I’m currently adjusting my weight.” Production Crew: “What is your current body fat percentage?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “Last week when I measured it, it was about 6.5%.” Production Crew: “What is your goal body fat percentage?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “5%. They say if you want proper six-pack definition, you need to drop it to about 5%.” MC Seo Jang-hoon noted that singer Kim Jong-kook is at 9% and soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo is at 7%. Having already lost 10kg for the role, Yoon Shi-yoon continues his daily training toward his 5% goal. The Marine Corps Influence: Meticulous Organization Custom-made stovetop cover to maintain a flat, horizontal surface. Covered outlets he hates seeing exposed. A sink with no visible dishware. A kitchen where everything is concealed or neatly stored. Uniform containers in every refrigerator compartment for visual order. Detailed labeling on vegetable bins and freezer items. Post-it notes for tracking ingredient usage. Yoon Shi-yoon: “If I just leave ingredients in the fridge, I can’t manage them.” Production Crew: “Were you influenced by the military?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “I felt joy when organizing things in the Marine Corps. (Laughs)” Language Prep for Opportunity: English and Japanese Classes 10:00 AM: English class (phone conversation). 11:00 AM: Japanese class (phone conversation). The English conversation was about preparing for a new drama. Yoon Shi-yoon: “One day, my mother suddenly gave me two ridiculous English textbooks. I asked, ‘Mom, what is this?’ and she said, ‘You were on TV, and your English was too poor.’ I was so ashamed of myself. All those staff members were filming me, and I needed to interact with foreigners and create something fun. What have I been doing with my life? Why was I so lazy? I regretted it so much then. I was so embarrassed. I had so many good opportunities but missed them because of language. I believed another chance would come, and I thought, ‘I must learn the language no matter what.’” His living room is packed with English books, and language study has become a regular part of his life. After the 1-hour English class, the 1-hour Japanese class follows immediately, preparing him step-by-step for opportunities he believes will certainly come. Rest is Scheduled: The 15-Minute Game Slot 01:00 PM: Game time. He moves to his game room, which has console games, retro games, and comic books. This is his first break of the day. Suddenly, while playing enthusiastically, the monitor turns off. Yoon Shi-yoon: “If I start a game, it never ends, so I have to set a time limit. The monitor turns off after 15 to 20 minutes.” Even his relaxation is planned. Yoon Shi-yoon’s break lasts exactly 15 minutes—a life of self-control and discipline to avoid idleness. The ‘Sales Floor’ Closet & Planned Outfits He heads to a closet inside his game room, where clothes are sorted by type and color. Yoon Shi-yoon: “I want my closet to look as nice as a clothing store. To achieve that, I can’t have too many clothes. Clothes can’t overlap (clothes are spaced evenly apart). The maximum number of hangers on a rack is set. If I run out of hangers? Then I declutter my clothes.” He pulls out outfits and accessories to plan his June schedule. His May calendar already shows daily outfit photos—he plans his style for every day, even rest days. Yoon Shi-yoon: “No, I don’t really care about clothes. I was even voted ‘Worst Dressed’ before. But as I enter my 40s, I want to try a style change. I believe I have to challenge myself with clothes outside my comfort zone, even in daily life. But since I’m not interested in fashion, I’m bad at dressing myself, and I lack confidence, I consult with my stylist, pre-plan a month’s worth of outfits, and wear them according to the schedule.” The 2-Hour Car Wash Ritual He drives to a self-service car wash. Yoon Shi-yoon: “Washing my car stabilizes my mood and makes me feel good. It’s like having a conversation with the car while I’m handling the large machine. I make sure to go to the car wash once a week.” He puts on a specialized jumpsuit and an apron, then wears headphones to block out noise, explaining he is eliminating distractions for a more focused wash (while listening to music).

Actor Yoon Si-yoon has joined the cast of the SBS variety show, “My Little Old Boy,” captivating audiences by revealing his home and private life in-depth for the first time. His meticulous daily routines have earned him nicknames like the “King of Alarms,” “King of Planning,” “King of Cleaning,” “King of Organizing,” “King of Car Washes,” “King of Self-Control,” and “King of Effort.” Among his many impressive habits, his method of planning an entire month’s wardrobe has garnered significant attention. Inside Yoon Si-yoon’s game room lies another meticulously organized space: his closet. There, clothes are perfectly sorted by type and color. Yoon Si-yoon: “I want my closet to feel like a boutique. To maintain that, you can’t have too many clothes. Each item needs its own space so they don’t touch (gesturing to the evenly spaced clothes). There’s a set maximum number of hangers. If I run out of hangers? That means it’s time to downsize my wardrobe.” Yoon then spread out his accessory case and clothes in the living room. Yoon Si-yoon: “Let’s plan for June.” His calendar for May was already filled with photos of his outfits, with every single day, including days off, planned in advance. Producer: “Are you very interested in fashion?” Yoon Si-yoon: “No. I’ve even been on a ‘worst-dressed’ list before. As I approach my 40s, I want to evolve my style, and I feel I need to challenge myself with clothes that are outside of my comfort zone, even for daily wear. But since I’m not interested in fashion, don’t dress well, and lack confidence, I decided it’s better to consult with my stylist to plan a month of outfits in advance. Then I just wear them according to the plan.” His phone contains the looks coordinated with his stylist. Today is the day he tries on the outfits for June. The June 1st outfit is an all-black look for a date with his mother. After trying it on, he takes a photo to document it. Yoon chooses his own accessories. For this look, he picks two pearl necklaces. He even adds a pearl bracelet, creating a “too-much” look adorned with pearls. The next outfit is a black jacket with white pants, again styled with two pearl necklaces. Producer: “What is your favorite accessory?” Yoon Si-yoon: “Pearls! I really like pearls. They have a wholesome feel. I like a retro vibe, and pearls perfectly capture that. I love them.” His accessory box is filled to the brim with 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 passionate about pearls. After confirming the outfits, he begins to write something down. Yoon Si-yoon: “I can also wear this white outfit in Singapore, so I’ll wear this as my airport fashion.” He records each outfit on the calendar. For script readings, I’ll mostly wear suits. I’ll wear a white t-shirt to the baseball game. For the first rehearsal… When I visit my grandmother… When I meet my mom… With all his daily outfits coordinated, his June wardrobe plan is complete. Actor Choi Jin-hyuk’s Mother: “I think he’s the first celebrity I’ve ever seen who plans their clothes for an entire month.” He then takes something out of a drawer. He places a t-shirt on it and folds it perfectly. He manages his t-shirts with the care of a retail store, keeping each one pristine. The neatly folded shirt is returned to its exact original spot in the closet. He adjusts the spacing between the shirts to be perfectly uniform and finishes by lightly spraying a fabric freshener. Singer Kang Daniel: “I’m curious what it would be like. I’d actually like to try living by his routine.”

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.”

Yoon Shi-yoon: The Ultimate Car Wash Master of “My Little Old Boy”
infolife77영어No comments

Actor Yoon Si-yoon has newly joined the cast of the SBS entertainment program “My Little Old Boy.” While he was a familiar face during his time on the KBS entertainment program “2 Days & 1 Night,” he has since been seen only occasionally on variety shows, making him a rare guest. This is the first time he has not only appeared by himself for a full hour but also revealed his private life, including his home. For this reason, he is garnering a great deal of attention. The episode showcased his personality with nicknames like “Alarm King,” “Planning King,” “Cleaning King,” “Organizing King,” “Car Wash King,” “Self-Control King,” and “Effort King”—traits rarely seen in ordinary people. Among these, the car washing scene was particularly impressive. Yoon Si-yoon: “Washing my car helps me feel stable and good. It’s like I’m having a conversation with my car while handling this big machine. I go to wash my car once a week, without fail.” Yoon Si-yoon drives his car to a self-service car wash. As soon as he arrives, he puts on a jumpsuit specifically for car washing. His shopping bag is filled with car cleaning supplies, the sheer number of which hints at his expertise. Over the jumpsuit, he wears another apron for car washing. He even puts on headphones to block out any noise that might interfere with the task. He is truly serious about washing his car. Seeing this, MC Seo Jang-hoon remarks, “He’s completely sincere in everything he does.” He starts taking out his car washing supplies, and they seem endless. As soon as they are out, he arranges them in perfect order. The items include cleaning brushes, a compression sprayer, pre-wash detergent, car shampoo, tire cleaner, tar remover, an oil film remover, car polish, a second car polish, an interior coating agent, a leather moisturizer, tire shine, a microfiber towel, and a second microfiber towel. He meticulously organizes this vast array of supplies by purpose. Now, it’s time to wash the car. He starts by spraying high-pressure water, maintaining a 45-degree angle and keeping the nozzle from touching the car. He exudes the aura of a professional. The dirt starts to come off under the high-pressure water. He washes the tires with a circular, rolling motion. At this point, the celebrity mothers on the show’s panel start to comment. When singer Kim Hee-chul’s mother says, “He looks like a car wash employee,” actor Lee Dong-gun’s mother adds, “I’d believe it if you told me he was.” Next, he sprays a tire cleaner to remove contaminants and scrubs the tires with a dedicated brush. He has two tire brushes: a thin one for detailed work, capable of cleaning inside small holes, and a wider one for cleaning the entire surface. He is truly dedicated to his tires. Watching this, MC Seo Jang-hoon comments, “Even if you took it to a professional car wash, they wouldn’t do it that thoroughly.” Yoon Si-yoon says, “Pre-wash. Let’s let the dirt soak,” as he begins the process of removing contaminants and soaking the ingrained dirt. He then sprays snow foam to further loosen the dirt with a fine-foamed detergent. With a skillful hand, he evenly covers the car in a thick layer of foam. To prepare the car shampoo, he adds high-pressure water to the detergent, and the bucket quickly fills with suds. He then shampoos the car by hand, rather than using a machine, to wash off the dirt that has been loosened by the snow foam. He meticulously cleans every nook and cranny, even inside the fuel filler door. MC Seo Jang-hoon exclaims, “I’ve never seen anyone clean the inside of the fuel filler door before.” Yoon Si-yoon: “I think I just like cleaning. When I see something dirty, I get really excited if I know I can clean it. I love it. The process of steaming it with hot water, melting the grime, and scrubbing it until it’s clean—I really enjoy that.” For him, washing his car is the ultimate healing time. Now it’s time to rinse. The deep-seated dirt is washed away, providing a sense of relief. He has a happy expression on his face, even as he sweats profusely. Next is drying. Using a special microfiber towel for cars, he pulls it across the surface in one smooth motion without rubbing, and the water disappears in an instant. The surface is left spotless after this single pass. A professional tool, an oil film remover, even makes an appearance to get rid of the greasy film on the windows. MC Seo Jang-hoon says, “He’s going to be so sore when he gets home. He’s working too hard,” to which the celebrity mothers unanimously agree, “He’s going to catch a cold from exhaustion.” Finally, the last step of the car wash: polishing. He sprays the polish and wipes it with a microfiber cloth. After he’s done, he places a paper cup on the car’s bumper to see if it slides off. He is satisfied when the cup glides smoothly. The two-hour car wash is complete. Considering it took two hours just for the exterior, the interior would likely take another two hours. Although the car is 12 years old, it looks brand new thanks to his meticulous care. By the time he finishes, evening has fallen. It’s 8 PM. As soon as he gets home, he takes the car washing supplies into the bathroom and, without a moment’s rest, immediately starts cleaning them. He even washes the detergent containers. The celebrity mothers watch with concern, wondering when he ever rests. The cleaning of the car washing supplies is finished. But then, he takes out bleach and other cleaning supplies again. Now, he starts cleaning the bathroom, which got dirty from cleaning the car wash equipment. From the mirror to the toilet, he doesn’t stop, sweating profusely. There’s no rest until the cleaning is done. This prompts MC Shin Dong-yup to remark, “Now I see why Yoon Si-yoon’s mother can’t

The Master of Self-Management: Actor Yoon Si-yoon
infolife77영어No comments

Actor Yoon Si-yoon, born in 1986, has joined the SBS show “My Little Old Boy” (미운 우리 새끼). At 40 (Korean age), he’s past the typical marriageable age, fitting the program’s theme of bachelors who live with their mothers. While he’s made occasional TV appearances since his time on the show “2 Days & 1 Night,” this is the first time he has been the sole focus for an hour, revealing his private life and home. Yoon Si-yoon first gained fame through the 2009 sitcom “High Kick Through the Roof.” However, he truly rose to stardom after his role as the protagonist ‘Kim Tak-gu’ in the 2010 drama “King of Baking, Kim Tak-gu,” which achieved an astounding 50% viewership rating—a number now considered impossible in a fragmented media landscape. Since then, he’s been recognized as a top star. On “My Little Old Boy,” his thorough self-management has drawn significant attention. His entire day is a series of alarms. He wakes up to an alarm and goes to sleep to one, meticulously planning his day down to the minute. This level of self-discipline is powered by a strong will to fight laziness, which is a major theme throughout the broadcast. The “King of Organization” Unveils His Home The show begins by showcasing Yoon Si-yoon’s living room, which is not a typical living room with a sofa and TV. Instead, a large 8-person desk and chairs sit in the center, flanked by bookshelves filled with books. At 6:59 AM, a robot vacuum cleaner starts its work. At 7:00 AM, the lights in his room automatically turn on, and an alarm sounds, to which he immediately wakes up. His spacious home offers a panoramic view of the Han River. The kitchen is impeccably clean with nothing left out, and all items are arranged in perfect rows and columns, with precise angles. Inside the fridge, sauces are sorted by height, jams are lined up neatly, and tofu is arranged by size. His clothes are sorted by color, and his shoes are perfectly aligned. Even the apps on his phone are grouped by type, each folder named. The toilet paper in his bathroom is folded into a perfect triangle, like in a hotel. In an interview, Yoon Si-yoon explains, “I like arrangements and rules. When I open a cabinet, I like to see everything in perfect rows. I hate it if even one thing is crooked.” He adds, “No matter how busy or tired I am, when I open the door, I want my home to perfectly welcome me. That’s where I get healing and strength. So I never let my home get messy.” He also reveals he doesn’t have a sofa because he considers it the number one place for laziness. The only place he can lie down is his bed, and even his chairs are uncomfortable, like those found in a fast-food restaurant. A Day in the Life of a “King of Alarms” Yoon Si-yoon immediately starts his day by making a protein shake. As he does, he immediately cleans up the items he uses. An alarm sounds at 7:03 AM: “Drink protein/supplements.” He finishes and continues to clean up. Another alarm rings at 7:07 AM: “Vocal practice.” He washes the cup he just used and starts his practice while looking at the Han River view. He practices while lying on his back, with his legs and back raised. He explains that he sets alarms for the next day, and plans everything from a monthly and weekly schedule down to the day before. “I’m so afraid of being lazy that if I don’t set a plan, I’ll just go out and waste time,” he says. He admits he feels anxious when his plans are not followed. “I feel most comfortable when I’m living according to my plan,” he states. Another alarm rings, and he goes for a run, arriving at the gym at 7:50 AM. He’s on a body fat management plan for his upcoming role in “Taxi Driver 3.” He has lost 10 kg, with a current body fat percentage of 6.5%. For comparison, the singer Kim Jong-kook is at 9% and soccer player Ronaldo is at 7%. His goal is to reach 5%. After a 30-minute run, he has a personal training session at 8:20 AM, revealing his clear six-pack. He arrives home at 9:00 AM, showers, and gets ready for breakfast. The Meticulous “King of Cleanliness” Yoon Si-yoon’s home is so tidy that he has a special custom-made cover for his gas stove to maintain a flat, uniform surface. He also has a framed cover over an electrical outlet he finds an eyesore. His kitchen is spotless, with everything stored or covered. He even labels all the ingredients in his fridge, managing them like inventory with Post-it notes. He says he started enjoying organizing after his time in the Marine Corps. Breakfast is at 9:40 AM. He prepares broiled tilapia and low-sodium mentaiko ochazuke, aiming to finish both cooking and eating in 20 minutes. He immediately soaks the used pan and even wipes down the stove while his food cooks, unable to tolerate even a second of grease splatter. He finishes eating in just 8 minutes. After eating, an alarm signals the start of his English class at 10:00 AM, which is followed by a Japanese class at 11:00 AM. At 12:00 PM, an alarm for “Character analysis & acting” goes off. He has a private home theater where he analyzes drama characters, taking pictures and notes. At 1:00 PM, his “rest time” alarm goes off. He plays video games, but after 15-20 minutes, the monitor automatically turns off. He explains that he has to set a time limit because he has no self-control when it comes to games. Planning Every Detail, Even His Outfits Yoon Si-yoon has a detailed monthly plan for his outfits. He lays out clothes on his desk and consults his phone, which has photos of pre-planned outfits with his stylist. He even plans his

Actor Yoon Shi-yoon first gained recognition in 2009 through the MBC sitcom “High Kick Through the Roof.” While he became known through this work, he wasn’t quite what one would call a “star” yet. He earned the title of “star” after appearing in the KBS 2TV Wednesday-Thursday drama “King of Baking, Kim Tak-gu.” He played the lead role of “Kim Tak-gu” in this drama, which achieved an astounding 50% viewership rating, propelling him to top-star status overnight. A 50% viewership rating is now virtually impossible, as changes in the media environment mean even 10% is considered a huge hit. Since “King of Baking, Kim Tak-gu,” Yoon Shi-yoon has been recognized as a star. Now, Yoon Shi-yoon has joined the cast of SBS’s “My Little Old Boy.” Born in 1986, he is now 40 years old in Korean age, or 456 months old. Given that the show features single men who have passed the typical marriageable age, he certainly qualifies to appear. While he was frequently seen during his time on KBS’s “2 Days & 1 Night,” he has only occasionally made appearances on variety shows since. However, this is his first time appearing solo for about an hour, and more importantly, it’s the first time he has shown his home and private life, which has garnered significant attention. On “My Little Old Boy,” Yoon Shi-yoon showcased his daily routine. His way of life was quite unique. His star power, combined with his peculiar lifestyle, captivated viewers’ interest and curiosity. His day, as shown on “My Little Old Boy,” began and ended with alarms. He had alarms set for every hour, meticulously dividing his day. Let’s list his activities from waking up to falling asleep, in chronological order: The Alarm King – Dividing Time by Minutes 7:00 AM: Wake Up. At 7:00 AM, the lights in Yoon Shi-yoon’s bedroom automatically turn on, and an alarm rings. He immediately gets up and prepares a protein shake for breakfast. As he prepares his meal, he promptly tidies up any items he uses. Another alarm rings while he’s making the protein shake. 7:03 AM: Protein/Supplements. He precisely drinks his protein shake and takes his nutritional supplements on time. Then, the alarm rings again. 7:07 AM: Vocal Practice. As an alarm rings for every action, an interview with the production crew follows. Yoon Shi-yoon: “I usually set alarms to plan my next day’s schedule. I have a monthly plan and a weekly plan as a basic framework, and then the day before, I plan what I need to do and set alarms. I have to set it up like, ‘At this time, do this; at that time, do that.’ There’s only one reason for that: if I don’t set it up, I’m afraid I’ll go out and play aimlessly. I’m so scared of becoming lazy. I’m an incredibly lazy person, so I can’t do without a plan. Really. Truly.” Production Crew: “Do you get anxious if the timing isn’t kept?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “I get uneasy. Because the plan goes awry. I think I’m most comfortable when I live according to a plan. I get energy from that.” He sets alarms daily to avoid becoming lazy and lives as a meticulously planned individual. Even while doing vocal exercises, he immediately washes the cup he used. He lies by the living room window, enjoying the Han River view, and practices vocal exercises while lifting his back and stretching his feet. Another alarm rings. He runs towards the gym. The Body King – Aiming for 5% Body Fat 7:50 AM: Gym Running. Upon arriving at the gym, he immediately starts running. An interview with the production crew follows. Production Crew: “You seem to have lost a lot of weight?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “I’m preparing for ‘Taxi Driver 3.’ I’ve conceived the character to be very gaunt, almost emaciated, so I’m controlling my weight.” Production Crew: “What’s your current body fat percentage then?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “Last week when I measured it, it was about 6.5%.” Production Crew: “What’s your target body fat percentage?” Yoon Shi-yoon: “5%. They say if you want to get a six-pack, you need to get it down to around 5%.” Upon hearing this, MC Seo Jang-hoon points out that singer Kim Jong-kook has 9% body fat and soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo has 7%, making Yoon Shi-yoon’s goal seem incredibly impressive. Despite having already lost 10kg for his role, he continues to exercise daily to reach his 5% body fat target. He ran continuously for 30 minutes with high-intensity running. 8:20 AM: Personal Training. Throughout his PT session, he lets out shouts of effort, and his lean muscles are visible. When he exposes his abdomen during exercise, a clear six-pack is evident. Breakfast in 20 Minutes 9:00 AM: Return Home. After showering, he applies lotion to his upper body. His six-pack and all his body muscles are visible. He seems satisfied as he constantly looks at himself in the mirror while applying lotion. Another alarm rings. 9:40 AM: Breakfast. Due to a 10:00 AM appointment, he has to finish cooking and eating within 20 minutes. His breakfast ingredients are black rice and tilapia (a high-protein fish). He quickly fries the tilapia in a pan, preparing it with practiced speed and precision. After grilling the fish, he sprinkles parsley and garlic flakes to create his first dish, “Grilled Tilapia.” He then starts on his second dish, adding water to black rice and stirring in green tea powder. He greases the pan again and grills low-sodium pollock roe. He then places the grilled roe on the black rice. His second dish is “Low-Sodium Pollack Roe Ochazuke.” He completes his breakfast at lightning speed. After cooking, he immediately soaks the used pan in water and wipes down the gas stove. Now, he begins to eat. 9:50 AM: Breakfast. With limited time, he mixes the fish with rice and eats it hastily with a spoon. Later, he eats the protein (fish) first. He constantly checks the time while eating. Eventually,

In a recent episode of the SBS variety show “My Little Old Boy” (미운 우리 새끼), actor Yoon Shi-yoon (윤시윤), now 40 in Korean age, made his first solo appearance, revealing an astonishingly disciplined and meticulously organized daily life. Known for his role in the hit drama “King of Baking, Kim Tak-gu” (제빵왕 김탁구), which recorded over 50% viewership, Yoon’s life offers a glimpse into a top star’s pursuit of self-improvement and routine. A Day Ruled by Alarms and Schedules ⏰ Yoon Shi-yoon’s day is completely scheduled, with alarms set down to the minute. He wakes up to an alarm at 7:00 AM, which also triggers his bedroom light to turn on. His routine is a non-stop series of planned activities: A Spotless, Monochromatic Home 🏠 Yoon’s apartment, with its stunning view of the Han River, is an exhibition of order and minimalism. The living room is not a typical space with a sofa and TV; instead, it’s a library with a large 8-person desk and chairs. He deliberately avoids a sofa to prevent himself from “being lazy.” His obsession with “o-wa-yeol” (오와 열), a Korean term for perfect lines and rows, is evident everywhere. Extreme Hobbies and Self-Control 🧘‍♂️ Yoon’s need for control extends to his hobbies. He is a car washing enthusiast, dedicating over two hours to meticulously cleaning his 12-year-old car, which looks brand new. He uses a wide array of specialized tools and even wears a dedicated jumpsuit for the task. He also practices an unusual self-control ritual with alcohol. Inspired by actor Robert Downey Jr., he enjoys the “smoky pairing” ritual of smelling whiskey infused with wood smoke but deliberately avoids drinking it. This is part of his strict body fat management plan, as he believes alcohol is a major obstacle to his fitness goals. At the end of his day, Yoon locks his phone in a “box of abstinence” (금욕상자) to avoid the temptation of late-night scrolling, which he believes disrupts his sleep and encourages laziness. Yoon Shi-yoon’s appearance on “My Little Old Boy” showcased a life of extraordinary discipline, a constant battle against his own perceived laziness, and a relentless pursuit of perfection in every detail.

While the show brought him recognition, it wasn’t enough to label him a “star.” His real breakthrough came with KBS2’s Wednesday-Thursday drama Bread, Love and Dreams, where he played the lead role, Kim Tak-goo. The drama hit an astonishing viewership rating of 50%, catapulting him into top star status. These days, with the changing media landscape, even a 10% rating is considered a huge success—so 50% is nearly unimaginable now. Ever since Bread, Love and Dreams, Yoon Si-yoon has been regarded as a true star. Now, Yoon Si-yoon has newly joined the cast of SBS’s My Little Old Boy. Born in 1986, he’s now 40 years old in Korean age—or 456 months. As an unmarried man past the typical marriage age, his appearance on the show feels fitting. While he was a familiar face on KBS’s 2 Days & 1 Night, his appearances on variety shows have since become rare.

On My Little Old Boy, the show revealed Yoon Si-yoon’s daily life, which was quite unusual. Beyond his star quality, the unique way he lives drew attention.

A monthly and weekly plan is a must. If I don’t plan my day, I might waste it doing meaningless things outside. I’m terrified of becoming lazy. I’m actually very lazy by nature, so if I don’t plan things, I won’t get anything done. Really, truly.” Production Team:“Do you get anxious if your schedule isn’t followed?” Yoon Si-yoon:“I feel uneasy. Things fall out of place. I feel most comfortable when I live according to plan—it energizes me.” To avoid becoming lazy, he meticulously follows his alarms. Even during vocal warm-ups, he cleans the used cup immediately.

Yoon Si-yoon:“One day, my mom handed me two random English books. I asked, ‘What is this?’ and she said, ‘You’re on TV but your English is terrible.’ I felt ashamed. I had so many great opportunities but missed them because of language. I regretted it so much. I told myself I’ll get another chance, and I have to be ready.” His study room is packed with English books.
