Yoo Young-woo's 160,000-won whitening fix stuns the cast
On Omniscient Interfering View, Yoo Young-woo reveals his frugal self-care habits, from a home whitening device to DIY vintage fashion.
In the MBC variety program 'Omniscient Interfering View' aired on September 19, 2026, Yoo Young-woo's daily life was revealed. In the footage, Yoo Young-woo drew the attention of the cast by showing how he manages himself to save money.
Choosing a 160,000-won device instead of dental whitening
The real highlight was Yoo Young-woo's choice to save on dental whitening costs. Considering that a single dental whitening session costs about 500,000 won, Yoo Young-woo revealed that he purchased and uses a pressure-point whitening device worth approximately 160,000 won. He mentioned that because he finds the alternative cost too wasteful, he makes sure to use the device twice a day. He also showed himself managing his appearance, such as using color shampoo to turn his hair black again after self-beauty treatments.
Directly reforming military uniform purchased for 30,000 won
His extraordinary frugal spirit was also evident in how he manages clothing. Yoo Young-woo revealed that he actually purchased a U.S. military uniform, which typically sells for 500,000 to 600,000 won at vintage shops, for only 30,000 won. It was reported that he purchased it directly from the person who had worn the uniform at the time.
However, because the purchased clothing had many marks, he obtained fabric from Dongdaemun and performed the reform himself. Yoo Young-woo demonstrated his dexterity by using tools to avoid hand pain from excessive sewing.
Using tissue for hemostasis instead of a hospital despite injury
His intense frugal spirit also appeared in his health management. Yoo Young-woo shared that even when his toenail was crushed by an iron door recently, causing bleeding, he endured it by using tissue for hemostasis instead of visiting a hospital. Despite his toe being somewhat bent due to this, Yoo Young-woo reacted that he was fine while telling stories of the primitive era. In response to Yoo Young-woo's stubborn refusal to visit the hospital, the cast reacted by saying he must go to a hospital.
