머리카락 길이만 5미터, 92세 베트남 노인 "머리카락은 신성한 것"
This 92-year-old Vietnamese man says he hasn't cut, combed or even washed his hair for almost 80 years now.
The man believes in a faith that prescribes leaving untouched what a person is born with.
He says it was his calling from the "divine power" to grow his hair.
"Why do I keep my hair uncut? Because I am a religion practitioner. I believe if I cut my hair, I will die. I see it that way so I dare not change anything, not even combing it."
One of his sons also believes in the connection between hair and mortality.
He helps his father manage his thick dreadlocks everyday, which is over five meters long.
And that does it for today's edition of 'The World Now'. I'll be back next time with more updates from around the world.
