Broadcaster Ji Seok-jin sparked discussions by revealing a story about having a female tenant in her 20s at his past APT. in Cheongdam-dong. The studio became a sea of laughter as an unexpected identity was revealed.
On the 24th, on MBC's entertainment program "Save Me! Homes," Ji Seok-jin appeared as a special coordinator, conducting "local field investigations" in Suyu-dong, Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, alongside Kim Su-yong.
That day, Ji Seok-jin revealed, "I have moved 13 times since getting married. After finishing my daily routine, I check real estate prices on a road view," showcasing his distinct "real estate lover" personality.
In contrast, Kim Su-yong stated, "I have only moved three times in my life. I haven't experienced moving since my newlywed house," surprising everyone. Ji Seok-jin responded, "Not moving even once during our time is a symbol of wealth," referring to Kim Su-yong's background as a doctor and his days as a 'young nobleman' in Yeouido. Kim Su-yong explained, "I'm quite reserved, so I need to get accustomed to new houses," attributing it to his inherently introverted personality.
Ji Seok-jin continued, "Kim Su-yong's house in Yeouido is almost a museum," adding, "He still uses the bed he had in middle school," eliciting laughter. When Kim Su-yong mentioned that he attended private elementary school, Ji Seok-jin compared it by saying, "I had to go around while catching a place to sleep."
Amidst various talks that day, Ji Seok-jin recalled, "I bought an APT. in Cheongdam-dong. It was the house where Yoon Jeong-su was auctioned off at the time," reflecting on his past success in Gangnam. At that moment, Kim Su-yong exposed, "That house was rented to a madam, right?" catching Ji Seok-jin off guard. Ji Seok-jin shared his disbelief at the time, saying, "She was in her 20s, and I thought, 'Is she a successful person?' but the real estate agent said, 'She's a madam.'"
When Kim Su-yong remarked, "That madam smoked so much at home that the wallpaper turned yellow," Ji Seok-jin felt embarrassed and responded, "I apologize for saying that." He also disclosed that "the purchase price for that house was 590 million won," catching attention with the specific figure.
