Actress Kim Nam-joo has unveiled her home in Samseong-dong, which reflects the 20-year history of her marriage. Beyond being a simple dwelling, it is a cherished space filled with time and memories, and it draws attention as proof of Kim Nam-joo's remarkable financial investment skills.
On the 22nd, Kim Nam-joo released a video titled 'Welcome to Kim Nam-joo's House (※First public disclosure of the house※)' on her YouTube channel 'Kim Nam-joo.' This is the first time in her 31-year career that Kim Nam-joo has shared her home. The content being unveiled via her YouTube channel is also set to be introduced through the SBS Life new entertainment show 'Kim Nam-joo, the Queen of Insight' airing on the same day.
Kim Nam-joo and her husband, Kim Seung-woo, purchased the dwelling in 2003 for 2 billion won, and it is reported that the current selling price of the house is approximately 16 billion to 17 billion won.
The house unveiled by Kim Nam-joo is a picturesque dwelling located in the city, having been a space shared during 20 years of marriage. Even though it was built 20 years ago, it boasts an elegant and beautiful exterior, and the spacious yard, which is said to be larger than the house itself, is one of its biggest attractions. Although the structure of the old dwelling could not be altered significantly, Kim Nam-joo's unique affection for the garden was evident.
The video released that day contained warm stories of 'human' Kim Nam-joo before she became a glamorous actress. Before disclosing her house, she candidly mentioned that 'there are too many things needed in life,' referring to a living room filled with children's items, and shared an honest confession about quickly shoving clutter into another room before filming, allowing viewers to glimpse Kim Nam-joo's straightforward and down-to-earth charm.
Every corner of the house was filled with Kim Nam-joo's delicate taste and affection for her family. From a humorous mention that she only keeps certain items 'when guests come over' due to her son's pollen allergy, to stories about choosing the dwelling for its fireplace, and tales of her husband, Kim Seung-woo, gifting her everlasting gold flowers for Valentine's Day, she shared her cheerful daily life.
Items filled with memories of family also caught the eye. Kim Nam-joo became emotional while explaining a vase stand made by her mother, lamenting her mother's aging condition as she can no longer knit due to trembling hands. She also showcased her son Kim Chan-hee's drawing of 'the duality of human nature,' created when he was in the third grade, as her most cherished piece of art, revealing her deep love for her son.
In particular, Kim Nam-joo noted that she enjoys being at home and that when her children are back from studying abroad, they often request kimchi stew, kimchi, and budae jjigae, expressing her affection for her family and home.
Through the approximately 15-minute video, Kim Nam-joo showed her honest self by unveiling her home for the first time in 31 years of her career, actively engaging in communication with her audience. Expectations are high for future content that will shine with Kim Nam-joo's insight, as encapsulated by the term 'Queen of Insight.'
