In the episode of June 20 of KBS2 “Best recipe of the stars on Fun-Starrant”, actress Lee Jung-Hyun He revealed his new residence.
The highlights included a large living room, a children’s room with slide and, in particular, a cutting -edge kitchen equipped with a six -seater dining room, bar counter and an 80 cm to tailor -to -measure Hinodi cutting board. Lee joked that he even slept with the cutting board his first night because he loved the perfume so much.
The largest discussion point was his “30 -year -old desire” a professional level iron plate in a factory. Lee explained, “I dreamed of having this plate for 30 years. We have installed four drain fans and redesigned the entire kitchen ceiling to host it.”
On the forums and on social media, spectators expressed fatigue and annoyance for what they see how another example of celebrities “flaunt the luxury”.
“Another celebrity that shows their home. So tired,” He wrote a user.
“These types of segments are only alienating for people who cannot even afford the rent”, He said another.
Some underlined Lee’s absurdity that has over 30 cutting boards, mocking, “A few million were won only in the cutting boards”, AND “This is more than a month of salary for an average worker.”
Lee Jung-Hyun is not alone. In recent months, celebrities like Kim Jong-Astutia, Park Soo-HongAND Jeong Dong-Won They all revealed the details of their high -end houses. Although these characteristics may have once evoked admiration, they are increasingly attracting anger between the prices of southern Korea’s conceded homes and economic instability.
Currently, the average price of the apartment in Seoul exceeds ₩ 1.1 billion KRWwhile even the largest underground area is on average ₩ 900 million krw. For many young adults and married, the ownership of the house is now seen as a distant dream. In the meantime, personal debt and loans for small businesses have increased, with ₩ 13.2 KRW trillions in late loans reported only in the first quarter of 2025.
While the wealth of celebrities can be earned through talents and hard work, it also derives from public support. In times of economic difficulties, sensitivity and empathy become even more vital.
