The protagonist of the '100 billion won property rumor,' Kim Jong-kook, has finally secured his first home after 30 years of debut. He has purchased a luxury villa worth 6.2 billion won entirely in cash, once again drawing attention. Viewers are curious whether his 'new house' will be revealed.
On the broadcast of KBS 2TV entertainment show 'Problematic Men Season 2' aired on the 29th, news of Kim Jong-kook's home purchase was mentioned.
On that day, the cast burst into laughter, saying, 'You saved even wet wipes and didn't throw away a single bag, and in the end, it's a house built from saving small amounts.' Kim Jong-kook has noted that he saves most of his income, making him a star known for his frugality. It was said that he even avoids mobile banking and personally visits the bank, earning the moniker 'the ultimate frugal asset manager.'
The new house that Kim Jong-kook has secured is a luxury villa located in Nonhyeondong, Seoul. In response to this news, the members said, 'The filming location has now been decided,' revealing their eagerness to film. Kim Sook suggested, 'Since we're at it, let's go to the new house,' nudging him subtly, while Kim Jong-kook, flustered, said, 'There are many other houses as well,' jokingly.
At that time, Kim Sook made a promise, saying, 'If the ratings exceed 4%, we will go to the housewarming. We'll bring gifts and head to the new house,' while Kim Jong-kook, evading the issue, replied, 'At this rate, the house will really get revealed.'
Surprisingly, the actual rating for the recent broadcast surpassed 4.1%, prompting the production team to caption, 'That thing really happened.' Now, all that's left is Kim Jong-kook's choice. Expectations are mounting whether the 6.2 billion won new house will be revealed to the viewers as promised in the ratings.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook is known as a representative 'health routine star' due to his consistent exercise and thorough self-management. Recently, he has also drawn attention in the financial technology field related to cash purchases of real estate, proving his limitless charm.
