Yoon Shi Yoon faces scrutiny over language insecurities. The popular K-Drama star opened up on SBS‘s variety show, My Little Old Boy, revealing his struggles with English during a recent episode.
While dining with the cast, Yoon abruptly left the table—it was time for his online English class. Fans were surprised by his disciplined daily routine, which he credits for his ongoing self-improvement efforts.
Yoon moved to the Philippines last year for intensive English training. He said he felt "pathetic" after a TV appearance where someone remarked on his language skills.
“I was ashamed of my laziness and regretted it. I missed so many opportunities because of the language barrier,” he shared.
His living room is filled with English books, highlighting his commitment to mastering the language.
Yoon’s candidness left viewers impressed. Nearly two decades into his career, his drive to push boundaries remains strong.
