KBS1 ‘The Secrets of Life and Death’ Episode 992

At 10 p.m. on the 6th, KBS1’s ‘The Secrets of Life and Death’ Episode 992 will air ‘One Day, My Hair Suddenly Started Falling Out,’ which addresses the issue of hair loss.

Every time you wash your hair and every time you comb it, hairs quietly fall out. If that number keeps increasing, hair loss may already have begun.

From female-pattern hair loss to alopecia areata, once hair is lost it is difficult to regain. For modern people exposed to stress and irregular lifestyles, hair loss is no longer an issue of age or gender. We therefore examine whether, even if you cannot completely stop shedding, it is possible to make hair grow again, and why hair can suddenly start falling out.

“It felt like being given a terminal diagnosis,” explained 38-year-old Choi Su-ho as he described what hair loss felt like. In his early twenties, a friend’s remark first made him aware of it. From then on, he tried everything touted as helpful for hair loss, but nothing worked. While he spent time and money on the wrong methods, the pores gradually closed. Once a pore closes, it is hard to reverse. Male-pattern hair loss, androgenetic alopecia. We explore its golden time.

Seventy-nine-year-old Lee Sang-yeon still holds on to the dream of regaining his flowing hair and dancing in style. The moment you think it is too late may be the earliest of all. We examine why hair-loss treatment should begin right now.

Alopecia areata is fundamentally different from ordinary hair loss. Unlike androgenetic alopecia, in which hair follicles shrink due to the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone), alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease in which T lymphocytes, immune cells, recognize one’s own hair follicles as enemies and attack them. The treatments are completely different as well.

Conventional steroids, when used long-term, have not been free of side effects such as weight gain and growth impairment. However, the recently introduced ‘JAK inhibitors’ provide anti-inflammatory effects comparable to steroids while greatly reducing side effects.

Forty-eight-year-old Kim Seung-won once pulled off even ‘Jang Guk-yeong hair’ and ‘knife hair’ with ease. Now, however, he cannot keep changing his part on the spot, nor can he wear his bangs down. People say it would be better to save money and get a hair transplant. We take a close look at whether hair transplantation can truly be the answer to hair loss.

The precise term for a hair transplant is ‘follicular transplantation.’ It involves harvesting healthy follicles from the back of the head and implanting them into areas of hair loss. However, hair transplantation is not an option for everyone with hair loss. There is a limit to the number of follicles that can be moved, and steady medication after transplantation is essential.

If you are worried about your hair, or if someone in your family is struggling with hair loss, at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, KBS1’s ‘The Secrets of Life and Death’ will deliver a message of hope to everyone troubled by hair loss.
