On the 11th episode of MBC's 'Save Me! HOMES' (directors Jung Da-hee, Nam Yoo-jung, Heo Ja-yoon, Kim Sung-nyeon, hereafter "Homes"), Kim Sook and chef Jung Ji-seon depart for Shanghai, China, for "Save Me! Global Homes."
This episode will air "Save Me! Global Homes," which examines the market prices of various foreign homes. So far, "Homes" has drawn attention by revealing the prices of listings around the world through "global price check," including Australia, the United States and Hong Kong, as well as Egypt and Georgia. This time, as the first installment of the Asia megacity series, the show leaves for a global scouting in Shanghai, China.
This global scouting trip is joined by chef Jung Ji-seon, the queen of Chinese cuisine who has reborn as a global chef, and team leader Kim Sook. Chef Jung Ji-seon, who boasts fluent Chinese, said, "I lived in Yangzhou, China, for about three years. Yangzhou is a small countryside town between Beijing and Shanghai, and it was the only place with a four-year culinary study program outside Yangzhou."
Team leader Kim Sook said, "This was the toughest scouting trip I have ever had." She revealed that their stay in Shanghai lasted only 30 hours! Kim Sook and Jung Ji-seon recalled the breathless filming, saying they barely ate or slept during the 30 hours and focused solely on the scouting. The reason time was short was because of the wedding of her ex-husband(?) Yoon Jung-soo. Kim Sook confessed, "I was scheduled to emcee Yoon Jung-soo's wedding, so I had to make time." When asked, "As the supposed ex-wife, what did you wear to the wedding?" she said, "I dressed as fabulously as possible so I wouldn't look shabby."
Arriving at Chenzhen Chenshu, Shanghai's new landmark and an SNS hot place, Kim Sook introduced it, saying, "The name means 'a thousand trees,' and this place is not a residence but a commercial complex. It is divided into a shopping mall, hotel and office facilities." She added, "It is the work of world-renowned architect Thomas Heatherwick."
She also introduced Shanghai as "China's largest economic city, which experienced a golden era of real estate transactions in the early 2000s. The then world's most expensive apartment is also in Shanghai, and various forms of housing exist," and said she invited a very special person for this global scouting, raising expectations.
