Actor Ha Seok-jin will appear on MBC‘s ‘Help Me! Holmes’ (directed by Jung Da-hee, Kim Moon-seop, Kim Jin-kyung, Kim Wan-chul) on the 23rd.
The broadcast that day will reveal the rankings of apartment sales transactions in Seoul in 2024, from 1st to 25th place. Among them, various apartments in Songpa-gu, which ranked 1st in Seoul apartment sales transactions, will be visited. The Songpa-gu visit will be visited by Ha Seok-jin, a native of Songpa-gu and a representative of the entertainment industry, along with Kim Sook and Kim Dae-ho.
The first place the three headed to was an apartment located in Jamsil Station. It is a 15-story apartment with 3,930 households that was completed in 1978. Apartments in complexes 1-4 of the same apartment complex have all been rebuilt. After passing through the lobby that feels old and the long hallway, an apartment with a surprising interior that was completely remodeled appears, drawing attention.
While looking around the house, the three discover the homeowner’s child‘s academy schedule. Surprised by the tight academy schedule, Ha Seok-jin says, “When I was young, I learned basic Korean, English, and math, as well as piano, taekwondo, and essay writing.” Kim Dae-ho, who causes a stir with the essay, says, “I didn’t go to KBS because I had to take the Korean Language Proficiency Test,” causing laughter. Kim Sook responds, “It‘s not that I didn’t go, it‘s that I couldn’t go,” showing off their tiki-taka chemistry.
After that, the three head to an apartment located in Bangi-dong, Songpa-gu. This apartment complex, built as a residence for foreign correspondents and athletes during the 1988 Seoul Olympics, is a large apartment complex with 5,540 households, drawing attention. Ha Seok-jin introduces this place as, “Unlike most apartments built in a straight line, the complex is fan-shaped, centered around a commercial building, like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.” He also reminisces about his childhood, saying, “My maternal uncle used to live in this apartment. Whenever I came here on the weekends, I was envious of the huge commercial building.”
The three people who entered the apartment are captivated by the diagonal staircase in the large living room. The structure of the upper and lower floors is separate, and it is said to be the home of a celebrity that was previously revealed on ‘I Live Alone’, stimulating curiosity about who it is.
Meanwhile, an unexpected situation occurs to Kim Dae-ho who was looking around the house. Kim Dae-ho, who was so flustered that his face turned red, repeatedly shouted, “I‘ll never buy an expensive house again” while trying to deal with the sudden situation, raising curiosity.
The Songpa-gu apartment with the highest number of apartment transactions in Seoul in 2024 will be revealed on MBC’s ‘Save Me! Homes’ at 10 p.m. on Thursday the 23rd.
