Broadcaster Choi Yang-rak received a diagnosis of hair loss and was in shock.

On the 18th, at 8:50 PM, JTBC’s entertainment program ‘1st which can’t be’ episode 4 shows Choi Yang-rak and Paeng Hyun-sook visiting a hair loss specialist clinic.

Recently, Paeng Hyun-sook, concerned about Choi Yang-rak’s noticeably thinning hair, initiates a ‘hair loss prevention project.’ From folk remedies to comparisons with ‘hair loss senior’ Kim Hak-lae, Paeng Hyun-sook takes a straightforward approach, and Choi Yang-rak cannot hide his discomfort.

Eventually, the two visit hair loss specialist Dr. Han Sang-bo for a diagnosis. As Paeng Hyun-sook lifts Choi Yang-rak’s bangs and earnestly requests a consultation, the doctor states, “It’s difficult to say the hair is alive. It’s at an ICU level with tubes connected,” and drops a ‘limited time left’ bomb, estimating a lifespan of about three years.

However, Choi Yang-rak insists, “I am not bald” and “I am not at the stage where I need medical intervention,” showing a firm stance. His unyielding reaction despite the persuasion from medical staff and Paeng Hyun-sook draws laughter.

Meanwhile, the bickering ‘hair loss battle’ of Choi Yang-rak and Paeng Hyun-sook can be seen on the JTBC ‘1st which can’t be’ broadcast that day.
