Singer KCM shows his expertise as a 'vacant house expert.'
In today's (17th) broadcast of MBC's 'Save Me! Homes' (directed by Jeong Da-hee, Kim Moon-seop, Seo In-ji, Kim Wan-cheol, Heo Ja-yoon / hereafter 'Homes'), singer KCM, comedian Kim Won-hoon, and Park Na-rae venture into vacant houses in the metropolitan area.
This broadcast focuses on 'exploring vacant houses in the metropolitan area,' introducing vacant houses across the country, such as those in Jeju Island, Taean, and Yangpyeong, but this time they head to the Seoul-Gyeonggi area. Park Na-rae notes, "When you think of vacant houses, you often envision small cities in rural areas, but there are over 6,000 vacant houses left abandoned in Seoul alone, and there are over 20,000 in the metropolitan area."
Before the main exploration begins, KCM, as the representative of the 'Deok' team, is introduced by Kim Suk, who states, "He is a singer who loves fishing and also the captain who owns a boat. It's hard to meet him on land." In response, KCM expresses confidence about the exploration today, saying, "I am a vacant house expert who owns a few vacant houses in Jeju Island," and shares his feelings about participating.
When asked why he just has vacant houses in Jeju Island, KCM replies, "I don't have money for renovations..." As he keeps his words short, Kim Dae-ho grabs attention when he reveals he is living in a self-renovated vacant house and spent about 50 million won on fixing it.
Kim Won-hoon, representing the 'Bok' team, says, "I appeared on 'Homes' for the first time in three years. A lot has changed during that time," while watching footage from three years ago, confessing, "I was before my hair transplant back then." He adds, "I moved to Seoul. I live in an APT. with a view of the Han River." When Yang Se-chan asks Kim Won-hoon, who got married in 2022, "If you were reborn, would you marry your current wife again?" curiosity increases about what his definite answer might be.
The three of them head to Jori-eup in Paju for the exploration of vacant houses in the Seoul area. Park Na-rae scolds Kim Won-hoon, who arrives at the opening location dressed in new clothes and shoes, saying, "How can you wear new clothes when we're going to work today!" KCM also comments, "If you go to see a house dressed like this, you might buy a house worth 5 million won for 7 million won. You can tell if it's wholesale or retail just by looking. Won-hoon definitely looks like a retailer."
The first vacant house exploration site is said to be about a 10-minute drive from Paju's Unjeong New Town, where quaint dwellings are clustered together. Before the main exploration starts, as KCM pulls out items like work gloves and a flashlight for exploring vacant houses, Joo Woo-jae comments, "You absolutely need those two when going to a vacant house. And you also need courage."
The house, covered with overgrown grass and trees, is in its third year as a vacant house and includes a spacious yard and large barn. While checking the condition inside the house on a monitor, Kim Dae-ho draws attention by saying, "The rafters are clean. The thickness of the rafters is consistent. It's a well-built house."
The second installment of the Daecheong-dong work exploration and the vacant house exploration in the Seoul-Gyeonggi area will be unveiled tonight at 10 p.m. on MBC's 'Save Me! Homes.'
