Not only can he do 70 pull-ups in a row without resting, but he can also do it with one hand easily! Furthermore, he shows amazing skill by lifting his body even just with the index fingers of both hands.

The inverted triangle body made only through bodyweight exercise is remarkable, but more astonishing is that he is a cancer patient. Diagnosed with cancer from the young age of 7.

Through painstaking effort, he is now maintaining a healthy body without chemotherapy or medication! He claimed first place in a bodyweight competition with professional athletes participating. Let’s visit the pull-up master who shows that “humans have no limits” with his whole body.

<Hot Dog Master>

Take a bite of the crispy and savory fried coating, and the juicy sausage pops out! The hot dog loved as a winter snack. As convenient foods that can be easily made at home became widespread, it has become a national snack that can be easily accessed anytime. How are convenient hot dogs made? Visiting a national hot dog factory that produces ten million frozen hot dogs a year.

The factory is bustling as usual. Among them, one person stands out! The master of batter coating. A master who hand-coats with flour batter and puts it into the fryer. To make the most delicious hot dog, each needs 47g of batter coating. It’s not easy to shape beautifully with sticky, thick batter. The master can shape the hot dog precisely without a scale, with a margin of error as small as 2g!

There’s also a master who packages hot dogs well. A master who efficiently packs fast-frozen cold hot dogs in once swift move. Seems ordinary, but it’s a skill requiring mastery. Meet the masters who are responsible for the taste of each hot dog.

<Hair Salon Picasso Master>

A picture accidentally drawn while cleaning up leftover hair at the closing time went viral on SNS, quickly recording 1 million views! Thus, the name ‘Hair Salon Picasso’ was naturally given.

Like sketching with a broom, the lines are drawn and filled with hair, soon creating a masterpiece almost identical to a photograph! True artisans never blame their tools! Dive into the artistic world of the master creating art with hair.
