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

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

Actor Yoon Shi-yoon’s Extreme Self-Management Revealed on SBS’s “My Little Old Boy”

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,
