Yoon Taek's 'Bomb Hair' Secret: "Actually Straight Hair—Perm Every Month"

The secret behind comedian Yoon Taek's trademark 'bomb hair' has been revealed. Laughter erupted at his unexpected confession that, contrary to his rough and free-spirited natural person image, his hair is actually straight. Yoon Taek, who maintains his unique style by getting a perm every month to a month and a half, confessed that he even faced opposition from his father-in-law because of this hair before his marriage.

In the 46th episode of MBN's 'Kim Joo-ha's Day and Night' broadcast on the 10th, Yoon Taek and Lee Seung-yoon, who have led the long-running MBN program 'Into the Wilderness' for 15 years, appeared. The two drew viewers' interest by sharing various behind-the-scenes stories, ranging from memories accumulated during long outdoor shoots and memorable natural persons to their first meetings with their wives and their marriages.

On this day, Yoon Taek recalled the moment he fell in love at first sight with his wife. He said that at their first meeting, they happened to take a photo while linking arms, and he lost his heart to her while checking the photo afterward. A single accidental photo became the beginning of their relationship. Yoon Taek's love story, having shown uninhibited wit and friendly charm in nature, revealed a different side from the pleasant image shown on broadcast.

However, not all processes leading up to marriage were smooth. Yoon Taek revealed a story of facing opposition from his father-in-law due to his unique permed hair. The bomb hair, which has long served as his representative look, became an unexpected obstacle during the marriage process. Yoon Taek added a twist to his charm by revealing, "It is originally straight hair. I get a perm every month to a month and a half." The fact that it was not naturally curly hair but a style completed through periodic procedures and management drew laughter.

Lee Seung-yoon also revealed a special connection with his wife. He stated that he first met his wife, who participated as an editor, while he was preparing a book related to exercise during his time active as 'Health Boy.' He revealed that he fell for his wife's spelling skills. Lee Seung-yoon explained that he felt an attraction to his wife's habit of correcting his incorrect spelling whenever they exchanged messages. Rather than appearance or flashy speech, the intellectual charm revealed in daily communication became the occasion for their love.

The influence of his wife also brought changes to Lee Seung-yoon's life. He stated that he began studying the Korean language, appeared on Korean language quiz programs four times to take 1st place in all of them, and was named an honorary master twice. It drew attention in that the charm he felt during the dating process led to hobbies and studies, and further served as an occasion to achieve results on broadcast. The story that a seemingly minor spelling correction became the link connecting the two people showed Lee Seung-yoon's unique, simple, and pleasant charm.

Lee Seung-yoon also shared a special anecdote experienced during the filming of 'Into the Wilderness' after his marriage. It is a story that after receiving wild ginseng from a natural person, he had a son. The connection with a natural person met in the mountains led to a memory intertwined with his family history. Regardless of the truth, as experiences occurring at long-term filming sites connected to the individual lives of the cast, it created a unique atmosphere unique to the program.

The two also revealed the TOP3 most memorable figures among the more than 700 natural persons they met while hosting 'Into the Wilderness' for 15 years. 3rd place was the so-called 'Hornet Mister' who left to catch a hornet before Yoon Taek's question could even finish. It was explained that the natural person's behavior of prioritizing solving the hornet in front of his eyes over the host's question left a strong impression. This is an example showing that unpredictable situations and the unique personalities of the participants led to the program's points of laughter.

2nd place was the 'Handsome Natural Person' who drew attention with a solid body and handsome appearance. Yoon Taek recalled that after the broadcast, contacts poured in from overseas asking to introduce that natural person. It was said that the program expanded its interest in unexpected ways as not only the stories and lifestyles of people living in nature but also their appearance and personality became topics of conversation.

The grand 1st place was taken by a natural person who appeared in the first episode of 'Into the Wilderness.' Lee Seung-yoon confessed that he was flustered by the unexpected appearance of the natural person at the time, saying, "I didn't know where to look, so I turned my eyes away." Lee Seung-yoon's embarrassed expression captured at that time remains a scene talked about even after a long time. The first participant who was with the start of the program has become an unforgettable memory for the two hosts.

Lee Seung-yoon expressed his gratitude to the participants who have been with them for a long time, saying, "I think we are who we are today thanks to the natural persons." For the two who have met more than 700 natural persons over 15 years, 'Into the Wilderness' is more than just a broadcast program; it is also a site that recorded the lives and stories of many people. From Yoon Taek's bomb hair to Lee Seung-yoon's unexpected love story and the extraordinary episodes experienced during filming, the stories of this day once again showed the reason why the two have received the love of viewers for a long time.
