These home tours often collect interest and public affection, with fans enchanted by the relationship or unexpected characteristics of their favorite stars. However, recent accidents have highlighted the serious risks associated with this exhibition, which take place from the invasion of privacy to actual crimes such as theft.
One of the most alarming recent cases involves the comedian and television personality Park Na-Rae. After purchasing a luxurious detached house worth over 5.5 billion Krw in Itaewon, Soul in 2021 showed it in the MBC reality show “I live alone”. From the garden to the living room, every corner of his house has been transmitted to the public.
However, what started as a celebratory moment to reach the property of the house has turned into a nightmare. Park Na-Ra later confessed to television that non-invited visitors made themselves frequently out of her home, some waited up to 10 hours with the explicit intent to meet her. He even told how his mother had mistakenly opened the door to a stranger, thinking they were a friend.
On April 8, Park Na-Ra canceled his planned appearance in a radio show after suffering from physical tiredness and emotional anguish. It was soon revealed that he had been the victim of a theft that implied valuable objects for a value of tens of millions of KRW. A representative said, “After many resolutions, we presented a report to the police about an hour ago. We hope that the investigations will shed light on the accident.”
The case of Park Na-Ra is far from isolated. Former presenter Kim Dae-Ho, who also revealed his home “I live alone”He later admitted to another program that he had to move due to unwanted visitors. “People only came to look at my home. Some even left the bags to my gate after drinking. While I appreciate the interest, I knew it was time to change”, “” he said.
Han Hye-Jin had similar problems in his 500 Pyeong villa in Hongcheon, a province of Gangwon. He confessed that unauthorized visitors have become so frequent that he had to install security walls and gates. “Please, please don’t come. It’s frightening” He pleaded online.
Perhaps the most famous example is the singer Lee Hyori and her husband Lee Sang-Soon. In 2017, the couple opened their Jeju home to the public through JTBC “Hyori’s Homestay”. While the show was loved, their home quickly became a tourist hotspot. The fans took photos of the house, played the bell, peeked on the walls and even asked to follow the guests inside.
Lee Hyori once admitted to an interview with a magazine, “The consequences of” Hyori’s Homestay “have already started. People come from morning to evening. But since we made the decision, we have to face the consequences.” Her husband has developed on social media, “The strangers know our address and gather in front of the gate, take photos and videos, watch our home with selfie sticks and ask to enter when guests come. Now we have to check our CCTV before going out.”
The message is clear: being on TV does not mean that the consent of the celebrities to make their privacy burst. In the case of Park Na-Ra, this problem intensified beyond the invasion of simple privacy: it has become a criminal question that involved a theft. The shows themselves that were intended to humanize celebrities and entertain the public created serious and even dangerous vulnerabilities.
As the risks of these programs become more evident, public sympathy is growing. “I have always felt worried about looking at the celebrities to reveal their homes”, He commented on a Netizen. Others have noticed, “Many of these cases go beyond the simple affection of the fans: this is a clear invasion of privacy” AND “The situation of Park Na-Ra is terrifying. I hope it recovers both physically and emotionally.”
The dilemma of domestic revelation shows is intensifying. As they offer content of well -being to the spectators, the potential cost for the stars involved can be unthinkably high.
