About this listen

 Humans have long been intrigued by the idea of achieving eternal life, and wondered whether it could ever become possible thanks to medical and technological advances. But in the case of some individuals it seems that it may even be randomly bestowed upon them. Let’s take South Korean man Shin Hyo Myung for example. Ever since he appeared on eNews24 in 2013, he’s been used to being the centre of attention. In 2015 he then appeared in a documentary, and was widely described as a 26-year old with the appearance of a 12-year old boy. These days he’s a social media influencer, but even pictures from 2023 show him still looking like a teenager. How do doctors explain his condition? What are the causes? So can the Highlander syndrome truly make someone immortal? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
