SBS knowledge and health entertainment show "Three Perspectives" interestingly unravels, from historical, scientific and medical viewpoints, how "wrinkles" can be more than simple skin aging and can serve as warning lights reflecting the body's overall balance and health.
The SBS program "Three Perspectives," airing at 8:35 a.m. on the 19th (Sunday), focuses on the point that wrinkles, long regarded as "traces of life and symbols of dignity," are called "signs of life" in modern medicine. MC Kim Seok-hoon and So Seul-ji, along with science writer Kwak Jae-sik, historian Rhee Chang-yong, family medicine specialist Lee Hyun-hee, and comedian Park Se-mi, appear together to interpret the secrets hidden in "wrinkles" from multiple layers.
Docent Rhee Chang-yong reveals an "anti-wrinkle straw device" that was actually sold in the early 20th century, saying "the fear of wrinkles is as old as human history." He explains, "At the time, women used to suck on this straw to pull their faces inward and smooth wrinkles," and "this device was a symbol of humanity's anxiety to regain youth." He also introduces Francisco Goya's painting that depicted a queen with wrinkled, heavy features, showing how wrinkles, once a symbol of beauty, changed into a "signal of survival" over history.
MC Kim Seok-hoon candidly admits, "As I get older, I feel my skin sag every time I have makeup applied," and "these days just hearing the word 'wrinkle' makes me perk up." In response, science writer Kwak Jae-sik playfully interprets the "biological role of wrinkles" in human evolution. He analyzes, "Wrinkles are not simply aging; they are traces of how living beings allocate energy." Family medicine specialist Lee Hyun-hee offers a medical perspective, saying, "Skin wrinkles are the wrinkles of blood vessels and may be warnings from the heart."
Specialist Lee Hyun-hee demonstrates a "skin elasticity self-test" herself and proves the surprising correlations between wrinkles and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, reduced bone density and muscle loss. When the "internal wrinkle age" of MC Kim Seok-hoon and other cast members was revealed, the studio was reportedly filled with a mix of surprise and shock.
Specialist Lee Hyun-hee goes on to say, "Wrinkles are not a skin problem but a 'whole-body warning light' that appears when the body's balance breaks down," explaining that forehead wrinkles can be signs of cardiovascular disease while wrinkles around the mouth and neck are linked to osteoporosis and systemic aging, respectively. Citing recent medical papers that show structural changes in collagen affect not only skin but also blood vessels, bones and hair, she delivers the message, "The power to slow wrinkles is the power to set health right."
Special guest Park Se-mi delights the audience with a cheerful "I'm a heel beauty" in a playful "foot-outing." Known as a "beauty enthusiast" who is serious about collagen care, Park shares the collagen secrets everyone who wants to prevent calluses in winter socks must know, eliciting both laughter and sympathy.
Participating directly in the elasticity test, Park Se-mi could not hide her surprise at the unexpected results, raising the energy of the live setting. Specialist Lee Hyun-hee emphasizes through Park Se-mi's case that collagen is not merely a cosmetic ingredient but a vital protein that supports the whole body, including joints, blood vessels and hair. She also notes, "Wrinkles beneath the skin are ultimately mirrors of internal health," underscoring collagen's central role in maintaining overall structure and balance.
This broadcast goes beyond simple beauty information to newly present that "wrinkles are indicators of health." It will be a time to scientifically demonstrate that collagen is not a protein that supports appearance but a pillar of life that straightens the entire body.
The 17th episode of SBS "Three Perspectives," which will reveal that the power to slow wrinkles is the power to set health right, airs at 8:35 a.m. on Sunday the 19th.<
