Strange experiences continue. It is a strange green substance, silicone for the skin, covering from head to neck. The moment my face is completely covered feels like receiving an invitation. Plaster bandages are added on top of it. Except for nostrils to breathe, there are no gaps. In just a few hours, a completed face mask is revealed. It is definitely my face, yet it feels unfamiliar and amazing. When I did elderly makeup before, it didn't feel so real, but the moment my face was completely covered, I thought, Ah, this is the beginning, right? Did I do something daring that I can undo? I have such thoughts and think I should do well. It is said that after about 3 weeks, an elderly face will be completed. I am looking forward to it. How will the body change when becoming elderly? This equipment creates minor elderly features. As you age, joints stiffen, making it difficult to straighten or bend legs. This knee here also helps create joints like those of an elderly person.

Should I do it powerfully? Tighten your knees and come down. If you do it well, the elderly will not have good knees, etc. are suppressed. If you wear this, you cannot straighten your back. It is a scientifically designed equipment based on research on body aging. This is a sandbag. Sandbags reduce muscle strength and make you out of breath. Yes, yes, joints in the arms and legs are suppressed, joints become stiff, etc. Yes, yes, should we look at each one? Each arm and leg sandbag weighs 1kg, reducing muscle strength in the elderly, suppressing joints in the elderly, and special goggles make the field of vision narrow like an elderly person. The total weight is as much as 6kg. It's uncomfortable. I want to eat quickly. I can't even eat rice, how about walking with this? This is definitely decomposing. Your steps slow down, and your walking posture is also...

It feels dull. When I put on shoes from the shoe rack, it really makes a sound automatically. Now, it's time for me to experience daily life through the body of an elderly person on our sofa. Just sit there. I tried to sit down, and I barely managed to sit, but I really need someone's help. I can't get up by myself. I didn't know it would be this hard. I stood in front of the stairs. The special goggles narrow my vision like elderly people, I can't see well. I'm scared just looking around. It's really uncomfortable. When I became an elderly person, everything was difficult and uncomfortable. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but that feeling still remains. It's really uncomfortable. It's almost impossible to do something on my own. Since my arms and legs can't move properly, it's very uncomfortable. The way the elderly walk, it's just something that can't be helped.

It feels the same. I understand now. At 5 AM, the elderly makeup process officially began. It's time to transform from a 32-year-old young man to a 70-year-old elderly. In a matter of hours, the elderly makeup was completed. What will be the appearance? Something unfamiliar, he keeps touching his face. Wrinkles have appeared on the neck, face, and around the eyes. The hands are the same. Facing himself as an elderly person at the young age of 32. In just a few hours, 40 years have come upon him. A very unfamiliar person is sitting in front of the mirror. Ah, this is how I will age. Is this aging gracefully? Just by looking at the appearance, am I aging well or not? I don't know. Carrying the burden of an elderly person, he slowly walks down the street. He stood in front of a crosswalk. It's a place he always crossed when going to work.

It somehow feels longer. The signal changes. I start to cross the crosswalk. I haven't crossed even half yet, and I start to feel anxious. The traffic light is already blinking. I feel rushed. Other people are all passing ahead. I feel like I'm falling behind. It feels strange. Because I can't walk as fast as others, my pace slows down, making me think a lot. Not only my walking pace slows down, but it seems like the world is moving fast ahead, and I can't catch up. What's wrong with the music? As I become an elderly person, even taking one step down feels not easy. Standing in front of the mirror, I gaze at myself quietly. Seeing myself as a 70-year-old feels unfamiliar. Becoming a 70-year-old, I take the subway. What should I do? The subway fare is 10,000 won. There are no empty seats, so I stand for about 30 minutes. Guide.

I will tell you about myself. I used to be like that too, not even interested in the elderly. Hesitating, I sit in the elderly seat. Thank you. When I became the elderly, I realized how difficult it is. I understand. Crossing an 8-lane crosswalk with the steps of a 30-year-old takes 16 seconds. Let's walk with the steps of the elderly; in that time, not even half is crossed. More than twice as slow. The stairs are the same. It's a part of a 30-year-old's daily life. Will today go well? Haircuts and meals are really expensive. It must be a price considering the tight budget of the elderly. Let's go into one of the shops. It's full of memories from the past. What would be good? That coffee. Should I put on makeup for the elderly? It suits the atmosphere here quite well. There is an elderly person eating alone next to me. It seems like it would be nice to have a conversation. I think I should.

I don't think it's usual to wear a jacket for peace and stability, but you often hear those comments, right? When you say things like that, people's eyes widen, right? How are your twenties? Do you often come here, Yoochun? Do you come here once or twice a month? When you come here, do memories from the past come to mind? Yes, that's right. So, when you come here, over a meal box - in Korea, we call it dosirak - you can have a dosirak for 3,000 won, and conversations naturally flow. So, what do you usually do when you don't come here? Normally, when you don't come here, what do you do? Just sit at home with nothing to do, feeling frustrated, then come out to exercise a bit, right? If you stay at home, it's frustrating, isn't it? I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to approach you, but you listened to me well, so I felt really good. It's a good start. I feel happy to part ways on a good note. Is it because we're of similar age? How was it when you first came for the interview?

It's a very different reaction. When you hand over a ball in front of Jongmyo, they talk without any barriers. This neighborhood is like a heaven for the elderly who come to live here. Most of the residents are elderly people. As I mentioned earlier, I decided to have a cup of tea with an elderly person living alone. How do you usually have meals? Meals... You take care of them by yourself, right? That's when it's the hardest. So, what I do is, I turn on the TV and watch while eating. It's called eating alone in Korean. But sometimes, I don't feel like eating, so I just skip it. It gets lonely when you're alone. Especially during holidays, it's really lonely. No one comes to visit, and I don't go out to visit anyone either. So, being alone here feels like a silver theater.

When you go to your hometown during the holidays, it's all filled with nostalgia. When you see those people, most of them are retirees or people who have nowhere to go, so they receive their retirement pay and use it to get their children married. After that, they have nothing left. Next, they have only one house to live in. Now, with just this, how are they going to get through the next 10 or 20 years? Instead of just living like this, they wonder how they should extend their lives. When they think about this, they get depressed and feel old. They say having no friends is worse than not having friends because when they don't have this, tears come out. That's why they write and go out, not for themselves, but for their children. Tears come out because of their eyes. So, as they age, as they enter old age, they think back to when they were young, and it becomes more regrettable and lonely. They dare to understand the hearts of the elderly.

It's hard to go. It's a story of loneliness. You don't know what it's like to be lonely until you experience it. Well, I think everyone feels lonely little by little. But what the elderly person was talking about seems to be a bit different. I feel like there is a dimension of loneliness that I don't know about, so I'm trying to disguise it right away. I'm not sure how close I can get, but maybe this could be a stepping stone. It's not just lonely and lonely. It was impressive to see you playing the harmonica at the age of 72. Your body is aging, but your mind is not. This is what the elderly people often say. It's time to reveal the true identity now. Oh, my, you're 30 years old now. You're dressed up like this now. Oh, my goodness, it's like a miracle. Oh, I had no idea. I had no idea at all. Oh, even the clothes are so different. I was so surprised because I was so focused on playing. Oh, my, like that.

The sound of selling is so famous. Your makeup is very cool. I was worried about what you would say if I was deceived, but you praised me. Would you like to touch it? Oh, I really don't know. My skin is quite dry. Just go on that path in the future. What path? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I

Like having a harmonica, older people basically have the same white hair. When playing the harmonica, it's fun, making videos is enjoyable, and everything seems similar. Thank you for your hard work this week. I hope you are doing well. Yes, yes, thank you. Your appearance seems to have improved. What has improved? It's always like that. After reading the newspaper, I come down, have a meal, and then go visit the elderly again. I feel the vitality of life. You are doing well. I heard that there is a severe conflict between the older generation and the younger generation. Meeting each other and sharing stories, maybe that is the key to solving it. Being old doesn't mean you shouldn't make an effort or have patience. Effort and patience are necessary for people who [MUSIC] age. We are not getting old, but getting mature. So, being old means being mature.
