'Yangrak 1st street' broadcaster Sayuri explained that she regretted the part where she missed the chance to secure a home in Seoul.
On the 22nd, a video titled "Raising kids in Korea is hard" featuring Sam Hammington and Sayuri was released on Choi Yangrak's YouTube channel. That day Choi Yangrak met Sayuri and Sam Hammington. He had played with Sayuri's son Zen long ago on The Return of SUPERMAN. Choi Yangrak said, "I heard Zen is about to enter elementary school. Time really flies," and prepared a small gift.
Sayuri said, "I go exercise in Seongsu-dong and Gangnam," and updated on her recent life. Choi Yangrak said, "I'm planning to try a 5km marathon soon," earning applause. A tired-looking Sam Hammington shook his head and complained, "Just breathing is exercise. Raising kids born in consecutive years is hard enough. They fight every day; it's no joke."
Sayuri looked at Sam Hammington with pity and said, "It's like your wife has three sons." Sam snapped back, "That's something I hear often at home, so if you also say that..."
Sam Hammington, who is raising two sons, said, "My second son likes playing games. He has athletic ability. He is bigger than his peers, so I want to have him play basketball, but he wants to be a game programmer. But my wife and I say he must be like Faker or else it's no good," and shared particular concerns about his second son. He added, "And looking at Faker, I saw he didn't just play games as a child but also read a lot of books," recommending his son read like Faker, but said his son does not listen.
Sam Hammington's four-story house also became a topic of conversation. Sam Hammington complained, "When you live in an apartment people say to the kids, 'Don't run,' but after moving to a house they don't even go out to the yard or run,". Sayuri said, "I went to Sam's house and liked it so much I wanted to live there."
Choi Yangrak asked bluntly, "Tell me bluntly, is it hard to live in Korea?" In response, Sayuri complained, "These days apartment prices are rising too much," and "They're rising so frighteningly. Prices are the same in Japan as 20 years ago, but when I came to Korea prices surged,". Nevertheless, Sayuri's face lit up with a bright smile as she said she likes Korea and will stay here.
Choi Yangrak asked directly, "Is Sayuri's house owned near Gangnam District Office?" Sayuri said, "But something I regret is this. When I lived in Samseong-dong as a jeonse tenant the landlord told me to buy it for 1 billion won. About 13–14 years ago, he said buy it for 1 billion won, but now it's 3.5 billion won," saying she could have made a profit of more than 2 billion won, which saddened everyone. Sayuri said, "I should have looked into banks or something back then. At the time I said where would I get 1 billion won and declined,".
Currently Sayuri is living in Banpo on a jeonse contract. Sayuri showed regret again, saying, "Every two years the jeonse deposit has gone up so my current home has become 10 pyeong smaller."
