The singer 김재중 revealed his large Japanese residence following the three-story main house he prepared for his parents and his Cheongdam-dong home, showing a remarkable "taste of success".
On the 27th broadcast of KBS2 '신상출시 편스토랑', Kim Jaejoong's house in Japan was unveiled.
Previously, through the program, 김재중 had revealed his Cheongdam-dong residence and the three-story main house where his parents live. This time, he introduced for the first time a Japanese house that even his family had never visited, surprising everyone.
When the size and interior of the house located in central Tokyo were revealed, the cast continued to express admiration. Amid reactions such as "If it's Meguro it must be expensive," Boom even asked, "Did you buy it with bitcoin?" which drew laughter.
Contrasting with his glamorous present, this area also holds memories for 김재중 of difficult activities in Japan 20 years ago. Recalling when he first entered Japan at 19 in 2005, he said, "My recognition was zero. I started from the ground up."
Since it was before K-pop had established itself in Japan as it has now, the working conditions were not easy. 김재중 said he sometimes performed by laying wood on the bare floor in places that were not proper stages, and he said, "I tried to survive no matter what." He said that during his dormitory life it was difficult to go out freely and that just stepping outside for a moment felt like liberation.
The 19-year-old boy who endured life in a foreign country became, more than 20 years later, a Hallyu star with a solid fandom in Japan. Settling again in the neighborhood where he once lived, 김재중 felt the changed present and described it as "this is the taste of success."
Actually, on the street, Japanese fans recognizing 김재중 were even spotted. The place that once held difficult memories of life in Japan is now being called "Kim Jaejoong Road" among fans, making his 20 years feel tangible.<
