• Kim Jaejoong’s Mansion Gets the Spotlight, Tour His Luxurious Home Built for Family Comfort

    Kim Jaejoong is giving fans a peek inside his lavish family home.

    On September 6, KBS 2TV’s ‘New Release Pyeon Restaurant’ will feature Kim Jaejoong as he spends a day off at his family home.

    Despite his busy schedule, Jaejoong always makes sure to prioritize his parents. The show is set to highlight the heartwarming bond he shares with his family, particularly as the youngest of nine siblings.

    In the episode’s VCR segment, Jaejoong arrives at his family home, arms loaded with gifts. His parents greet him with loving smiles, and he immediately embraces his mother, playfully asking, “Why does my mom look so beautiful today?” This touching moment is sure to warm hearts.

    The highlight of the episode is Jaejoong’s impressive four-story mansion, which is being featured on TV for the first time.

    The estate includes a basement garage, a grand first-floor ceiling, a resort-like terrace on the second floor, and a third floor with four bedrooms and five bathrooms to accommodate his large family. The ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ crew compared the home to the luxurious house seen in the movie ‘Parasite.’

    What stands out most about the home is Jaejoong’s thoughtfulness. He personally designed the mansion to ensure it was perfect for his elderly parents.

    The house features a private elevator, a spacious bathhouse, and a kitchen designed with his mother’s petite size in mind. This "house of filial piety" reflects his deep care and dedication.

    Jaejoong shared, “Growing up, our home was filled with happiness, but we weren’t financially well-off. I wanted to give my parents a beautiful and comfortable home when I could.” His year-long effort in building this home has left everyone amazed.

  • Lim Ji Yeon Addresses Backlash Over Cheering for Jung Woo Sung Amid His Scandal, "I Didn’t Expect the Public’s Reaction"

    Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

    In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

    At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

    Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

    For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

    The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

    However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

    She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

    It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

    Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
