Actor Yun Si-yun Reveals Why He Suddenly Left South Korea

Actor Yun Si-yun has opened up about the reason behind his sudden departure from South Korea.

On the October 1st episode of SBS's variety show 'My Little Old Boy,' Yun Si-yun's daily life was showcased.

During the episode, Yun Si-yun captivated viewers with his 'J' personality. He set alarms for every minute, finished his meal in just eight minutes, and immediately started an online English class, leaving everyone amazed.

Last year, Yun Si-yun went to the Philippines for a language study program. He shared, "At one point, my mom gave me an English textbook that made no sense. She said, 'I saw you on TV, and you weren't good at English.' I felt so pathetic after seeing that."

He continued, "All those staff members were filming me, and I had to create fun moments with foreigners, but I thought, 'What have I been doing with my life? Why have I been so lazy?' I was so ashamed of myself. I missed so many great opportunities because of the language barrier." He added, "I believed that opportunities would come my way again, and I thought I must be prepared with the language skills."

Recently cast in 'Taxi Driver 3,' Yun Si-yun caught attention with his noticeably thinner appearance. He revealed, "I wanted to give off a gaunt look, so I'm controlling my weight. I've lost 10kg for the role, and my body fat percentage is around 6.5%. My goal is to reach 5%."
