A female truck driver who never removes her makeup is attracting attention.
On the 6th, MBN's close documentary "Exclusive World" aired its 677th episode, featuring the story of truck driver Koh Young-sun, who has been in the industry for 28 years.
Koh Young-sun caught eyes with her deep smoky makeup and unique updo hairstyle. About her style, Koh explained, "I feel lifeless. If I don't do this."
Koh's husband also worked as a dump truck driver, and the couple showcased a caring relationship. Koh's husband noted about his wife's appearance, "It gradually turned out like this. Her hair keeps rising. It's been a long time. It's hard to see her without makeup," and added with a smile, "Isn't it individuality? Just do as you please." He further remarked, "When I go to the field, people look at me fearfully and don't approach; it feels cold."
Koh lived a life of going to bed without removing her makeup. Why has she, for decades, gone to bed with makeup on and not shown her bare face to her husband?
Koh revealed her painful story, saying, "It's because of a scar. I got a scar on one side of my chin as a child due to my father's mistake, and my skin was severely damaged like a burn. People avoided me, saying I had a skin disease, which was very shocking. I wondered if I had to live like this. I didn't want to go outside, and everything felt unpleasant."
However, everything changed when she was able to conceal this scar with makeup. Koh said, "After putting on makeup, everything changed 180 degrees. I felt like I could do anything."
Additionally, Koh primarily pursued male styles like military and jumpsuits, explaining, "I want to look tough and like a warrior." Concerning her hairstyle, she said, "Now, I know that I don't have facial scars. My hair draws attention. It's unique, so it works."
This background was indeed influenced by her father. She recalled, "My father was very strict. He said women are women and men are men. He was a soldier and emphasized that women should dress up and look pretty," and noted her desire to break away from such a father. Ultimately, she added that she came to recognize her father's love later in life.
