Singer Kim Jaejoong gave a first look at the large Tokyo residence that is the fruit of his success in Japan, and unexpected "suspicious traces" were found throughout the house, causing some embarrassment.
On the 27th, the KBS2 show Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant featured the Tokyo home where Kim Jaejoong lives while active in Japan.
Kim Jaejoong debuted as a solo singer in Japan in 2018 and has solidified a strong position there by topping various charts. It was revealed that he reportedly earned about 15 billion won over two days from Tokyo Dome concerts, which surprised viewers.
Kim Jaejoong, who has been living in the Japanese home for about three years, also explained how he found the house. The owner of the newly built home was leaving the country, and he did not miss the opportunity and signed the contract immediately. The two-story house even has an internal elevator, which drew admiration.
Contrary to the glamorous house, his lifestyle was surprisingly frugal. In the kitchen, which Kim Jaejoong said he liked the most, he revealed why he makes kimchi himself. He said kimchi in Japan costs about 5,000–6,000 won even in small amounts and that "it was shocking and hard to believe." Eventually, he was even seen pickling enoki mushrooms and onions himself, prompting Lee Yeon-bok to marvel, "For someone who lives in an expensive house, he's really thrifty." When Boom joked while mentioning his wealth, Kim Jaejoong replied, "Let's aim for 1,000 trillion in assets," which drew laughter.
But when the full house tour began, the atmosphere turned strange. When more than 100 rubber ducks were found in the bathtub, Boom suspected, "Is there a woman who likes cute things?" and Kim Jaejoong firmly explained, "It's my taste."
That was not the end. There were two pillows on the bed and two pairs of slippers in the bedroom. Even the production staff asked, "Are you really sleeping alone?" and the panelists pressed, "Shouldn't this be edited out?" and "The foot sizes are different, please explain." Kim Jaejoong protested his innocence, saying, "They're the same. They were slippers given to me by fans."
The clincher was a lip product and a pink toothbrush. When the lip product was found, Kim Jaejoong said he always carries lip balm and even took one out of his pocket on the spot. When a pink toothbrush was also spotted, he explained it was "for cleaning the sink," but suspicions did not easily subside.
In the end, Kim Jaejoong said, "We can't let this slide," and actively defended himself by showing several new toothbrushes of various colors. The unexpected Tokyo mansion reveal turned into an inadvertent "search for signs of romance," adding to the laughter.<
