'Save me! Homes' meets realistic 'Mr. Kim who owns a home in Seoul and works at a major corporation'.
On the 22nd, MBC variety show 'Save me! Homes' (abbreviated 'Homes'), which will air on the 22nd, will send actors Park Ho-san and Ha Do-kwon and Kim Dae-ho, who are appearing in the musical 'Cabin', to survey the homes of 'Director Generals' who own homes in Seoul.
In the broadcast that day, Park Ho-san, Ha Do-kwon and Kim Dae-ho each appear as Park, executive director; Ha, Director General; and Kim, Vice Administrator, of similar ages and ranks, evoking the recently popular drama 'The Dream Life of Mr. Kim' (hereinafter 'Mr. Kim story'). The three will spotlight the homes of real Director Generals who secured homes in Seoul and the Korea real estate cycle that is reflected in them.
Also, Song Hee-gu, the original author of 'Mr. Kim story' and a real estate YouTuber, appears in the studio to share behind-the-scenes stories related to the work as well as realistic real estate stories. Song Hee-gu said the work "started from a true story based on 14 years of work experience," and explained the background of why it resonated with actual office workers. In particular, when he revealed that the character 'Director Song,' who is knowledgeable about real estate in the drama, was modeled on himself, the MCs laughed and said, "No wonder Director Song is a hexagonal character."
The three visit an apartment in Gangdong District suspected to be the home of the protagonist 'Director Kim Nak-su' from 'Mr. Kim story' as their first house. The apartment, a corridor-style older building located in Gangdong District, has been strongly discussed among internet users as the likely home of 'Director Kim Nak-su' based on several clues. The MCs directly asked the original author Song Hee-gu, "Is this really Director Kim Nak-su's home?" and viewers' curiosity is focused on the 'author-confirmed' answer revealed for the first time through the broadcast.
Meanwhile, Park Ho-san, who said he lived in Gangdong District from second grade of elementary school through college, took the lead in the site visit. Stopping at the shopping area at the entrance of the apartment, he reminisced about delivering for a snack shop there about 30 years ago, and vividly recalled many parts of the complex even now, saying, "There was also a tennis court," and "(When the cherry blossoms bloom) the road is pretty."
The house they visited belongs to a real Director General who works at a major corporation and owns a home in Seoul, and several books by Song Hee-gu, including 'Mr. Kim story,' are lined up on the living room bookshelf, drawing attention. The homeowner said they have been a long-time fan of Song Hee-gu and had attended a past real estate seminar, and revealed the astonishing true story that, prompted by Song's advice that morning, they sold their existing home in the morning and purchased a new home at 9 p.m. the same day, surprising the cast. In response, Song Hee-gu offered real estate advice, saying, "When buying and selling a house, it's important to finish all decisions within two weeks," which is expected to serve as practical guidance for viewers dreaming of owning a home in Seoul.
'Save me! Homes' episode visiting the homes of Director Generals who own homes in Seoul will air on Thursday the 22nd at 10 p.m. on MBC.<
