Singer DUN followed I Live Alone with Where is My Home, revealing his interior philosophy and even showing his craftsmanship, along with a special love for intangible cultural heritage that drew attention.
On the 6th broadcast, MBC's Where is My Home featured a site visit focusing on "exercise-friendly zones," touring neighborhoods good for exercise and specialized dwellings.
The cast mentioned DUN's home, which had become a topic of conversation earlier on I Live Alone. Yang Se-chan said the house was decorated like a museum, and DUN explained, "I wanted to decorate it with an oriental aesthetic, so I did the interior that way. As I placed artworks one by one, at some point it started to feel like a museum."
DUN's home featured a unique atmosphere with a harmonious arrangement of items ranging from a solid wood table purchased through secondhand transactions to intangible cultural heritage works and artworks.
He also revealed his craftsmanship in making props directly. DUN introduced his DIY hobby, saying, "I like making things with my hands. I make lights myself, and I paint desks and large furniture myself. I pick up discarded furniture, sand it, and apply varnish." He added, "Lamps can be quite expensive if you call someone, but I do most things myself. Even if a toilet breaks, I repair it myself with putty or silicone," which surprised everyone.
Earlier, DUN received praise on I Live Alone for a way of life that preserves the value of old things beyond simply having a pretty home. In particular, his careful preservation and personal promotion of a mask kite work by a master of the national intangible heritage left a deep impression on viewers. He conveyed sincerity on the broadcast, saying, "I became interested because the work was cool, and I found out it was an intangible heritage of Korea. I heard it might die out, so I wanted to help."
DUN's lifestyle of saving old items rather than flashy consumption, making things by hand, and promoting the value of tradition has been evaluated as showing a new charm of observational variety shows. Fans continued their support with responses such as "He showed a philosophy of life, not house bragging," "I see DUN in a new light," and "I hope he appears on 'I Live Alone' again."
