Six scarves for 10,000 won, with banknotes fluttering like international flags... The "Namdaemun Lim Young-woong" scarf vendor will make a special appearance on SBS 'Masters of Living'.

SBS 'Masters of Living' will reveal tonight (the 9th) at 9 PM the extraordinary business skills of the "Namdaemun Scarf Man," a figure who has caused a sensation across South Korea.

"Only the things that didn't sell are left, so don't spend your money," the owner says. "They look prettiest when they are packaged. They aren't pretty when you wrap them around you." "When you get home, you'll find they aren't that great. Just use them as a floor for a puppy's house~"

It is a strange sight where the owner selling the scarves actually discourages customers from purchasing. However, the more he tries to stop them and the harsher his rebukes become, the more people flock to buy the scarves.

The master has become a sensation on social media with his colorful wit and is known as the "Namdaemun Scarf Man." His popularity is comparable to that of certain idols. The area around his stall was paralyzed to the point that people said it was the "largest crowd since the opening of Namdaemun Market." Ultimately, he had to declare an abrupt end to business and leave the spot due to safety concerns.

The scarves sold by the master are 6 for 10,000 won. Although 'Made in China' labels are clearly attached to the packaging, the struggle to get hold of the master's scarves is truly intense. The stall empties in an instant, and the master continuously pours out new scarves. Cries erupt from all sides to take their money, and raised 10,000 won banknotes flutter in lines like international flags.

The amazing scenes do not end there. When the master says, "Shh!", the customers all fall silent at once as if they had made a promise. When the crowd becomes too large to handle, he personally steps in to help with sales and payments. He is particularly popular with female customers, earning him the nickname "Namdaemun Lim Young-woong." How exactly did the "Namdaemun Scarf Man" become a star ruling the Namdaemun area?

The secret is not just his wit. The master has built up his expertise by doing business in Namdaemun for decades alongside his mother. He also possesses delicate sales strategies that capture the hearts of customers. There is also his way of dealing with safety issues and his efforts to be considerate of surrounding merchants. The true story of the Namdaemun scarf sales master, which could not be fully understood through social media videos alone, will be revealed tonight (the 9th) at 9 PM on SBS 'Masters of Living'.
