Rapper Trudy and baseball player Lee Dae-eun shocked viewers by revealing a home that had become messy despite its spacious 53-pyeong area, with belongings mixed up in disorder.
On the first episode aired on the 20th of Channel A 'Can't we change the house?!', Kim Sook and Lee Eunji, chef Park Eun-young, and CEO Lee Jeongwon visited the home of the Trudy–Lee Dae-eun couple.
That day Kim Sook introduced the program, saying, "From today we must pull ourselves together. It's a rehabilitation program that dispatches to delinquent houses where order has collapsed, finds problems and turns them into organizing role models." She reflected, "There are so many people who are so messy these days," but added, "I also look back and wonder if I have the right to say this," and Lee Eunji admired, "You have the qualification. I saw it on YouTube where you organized camping gear."
On the contrary, Lee Eunji said, "My house was severely the worst. For example, I put dishes inside the washing machine," revealing a shocking organizing method that surprised everyone. Kim Sook asked, "Did you confuse it with a dishwasher?" and Lee Eunji explained, "I didn't confuse them. I thought trying to organize once would create storage space, so I put things in the washing machine and lived like that, but now we've moved and finished setting up. It's neat. So I went from an organizing violator to a role model."
When Kim Sook said, "These kinds of people mostly slip back into violators," Lee Eunji admitted, "Right. I fall back about 80% of the time. I fall back often," which drew laughter. Then chef Park Eun-young asserted, "Am I not a chef? I always keep the kitchen very clean. I'm someone specialized in kitchen organization."
Lee Eunji worried, "Can we do it just among ourselves?" and Kim Sook said, "That's why an expert is needed. We invited the organizing master to lead the organizing enforcement team, the Midas touch of the organizing industry, CEO Lee Jeongwon," introducing CEO Lee Jeongwon, who appeared as an organizing expert on 'The Ordinary Millionaire'. Led by CEO Lee Jeongwon as the 'organizing captain,' the four visited the home of their first clients, the Trudy–Lee Dae-eun couple, married for five years.
Kim Sook said, "We received a tip. It's a mess here. They even said it's the two-faced side of organizing," and Trudy defended, "But I organize well. I call myself the organizing king." Kim Sook asked, "Before enforcement, what is the hardest part to organize?" and Trudy explained, "Actually our house is large. Stuff is spread around chaotically. So especially clothes don't gather in one place and are scattered."
First they headed to Lee Dae-eun's room, which was in a chaotic state despite being a large space. Lee Eunji asked in confusion, "I have a question. This is a PC room and this is a kids' cafe. Then suddenly this becomes Bupyeong underground shopping center," and Kim Sook also asked, "What is the purpose of this room?" Lee Dae-eun said, "It's where I spend leisure time watching the child in the early morning," and Trudy complained, "I want to abandon this room. This is the largest room in our house." Kim Sook lamented, "It's such a waste to use such a large room like this." Moreover, due to the mat on the floor and the computer desk, the wardrobe could not be used.
Trudy said, "The mat ruins the wardrobe. We can't use it," and CEO Lee Jeongwon pointed out the cause of clothes being scattered around the room, saying, "That's why the clothes keep coming out." Lee Eunji asked, "What kind of space would Mr. Dae-eun and Ms. Trudy want this to be?" and Lee Dae-eun expressed his wish, "I watch the child in the early morning. I let my wife sleep alone in the master bedroom because the baby wakes up when crying. I thought it might be good if I play games here and the baby stays over there."
The problem did not end there. Moving to the master bedroom, Park Eun-young exclaimed, "At this level you should be paid double the appearance fee." The master bedroom was also a total mess to the point that its purpose could not be recognized. Lee Eunji clicked her tongue, "The house size is so good and perfect, so what's so difficult?" and Kim Sook was confused, "They dry laundry here, get massages over there, and sleep here without rolling the blankets properly. Someone sleeps underneath. There is also a baby." CEO Lee Jeongwon said, "The purpose of the space here also doesn't seem to be clear."
Clothes in the dresser were not properly folded, and the powder room had turned into a kitchen with a baby bottle sterilizer, a washer, and a formula kettle. CEO Lee Jeongwon shook her head, saying, "I'm actually a mother raising a child too, so I empathize because I know how hard that period is, but this isn't right... it's not appropriate."
Next to the kitchen there was an inexplicable fenced-off space. Trudy said, "There used to be a dining table here. It gets sunlight and is nice, but the dogs kept marking so we closed it off and it became dead space. I want to revive this area." Kim Sook wondered, "Why are there so many dead spaces here? There's no living space," and Trudy admitted, "It's a dead house. It's all dead."
CEO Lee Jeongwon suggested using the empty space as a play area, saying, "The child is young. Soon the child will start crawling and standing. A play area is necessary. Then the mother can care for the baby while cooking in the kitchen." Lee Eunji admired, "Then the mom zone can come here," and Trudy said happily, "I love this program so much."
After surveying the house, CEO Lee Jeongwon explained, "Looking around the house overall, Trudy and Lee Dae-eun's home is a dispersed house. Items are too widely scattered here and there. The solution keyword for today is 'everything in its place.' Baby items started by occupying the vanity and are scattered everywhere. Today we will move the scattered items to their designated spaces."
After the major cleanup, CEO Lee Jeongwon said, "First, it transformed from a dispersed house into a house with everything in its place. Previously, furniture and items were the owners of the spaces, but now the people have become the owners of the house." In fact, Lee Dae-eun's room was transformed with a clear separation between the PC space and the child's space. They used the dresser to organize the items that had been piled up messily, and they converted the previously blocked built-in closet into a pantry. CEO Lee Jeongwon said, "The biggest key in this room was separating the study space from the child's space. The purposes were clearly divided into two. The father has to watch the child at night. We repositioned things so care can be done conveniently here."
The small room that had been full of miscellaneous items and dead became a walk-in closet, and Trudy was moved, saying, "I dreamed of having a room like this since I was born." CEO Lee Jeongwon advised, "There is a tip to maintain a neat closet. One in, one out. If you keep buying, it will become saturated. If you just follow that rule well, it's fine."
In the master bedroom, only the massage chair and the diaper-changing station remained, restoring the room's role solely as a bedroom. The vanity also returned to its original state, and the pantry next to the vanity was used as a baby clothing closet. The kitchen was neatly organized, and the adjacent dead space was used as a play area by placing baby items there. CEO Lee Jeongwon explained, "For the kitchen, flow lines and frequency of use are important. The mom zone had a higher usage frequency so it became the main spot, and appliances with lower usage frequency were moved to the auxiliary kitchen."
Finally, seeing the organized pantry and refrigerator, Kim Sook said, "The house we saw this morning and the house we see now are different houses," and asked, "How do you feel about your house being able to change like this?" Trudy said, "Why did I live like this? I'm so happy to know even now, and I have a strong desire to maintain this."
Lee Dae-eun also expressed gratitude, saying, "Honestly, I didn't expect it to this extent. When I thought of organizing, I just thought of putting something here and there, but the details seem different." Kim Sook encouraged them, "Maintain it well and I hope you live happily in this house for a long time until Raon grows up well."
