SHINee’s Key recently gave fans a look inside his new home, but not everyone is impressed. His house tour on Home Alone sparked a debate among netizens.

Key’s new place is located in Hannam-dong’s UN Village, a high-end area where only eight households reside.

His 80-pyeong (approx. 2,800 sq. ft.) apartment comes with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Han River. The price? A staggering 6 billion KRW (~$4.5 million USD).

MC Park Na Rae was in awe of the breathtaking view, saying, “This is definitely in my top three for the best views I’ve seen.”

During the episode, Key set up a terrace for his dogs, bought camping gear and a gas grill, and shared his thoughts on what a home should be.

He said, “Since I lived with my parents, I’ve always believed that a house should be my sanctuary, fortress, playground, restaurant, and bar all in one. If a house gives you all of that, then you’re truly living well.”

The episode recorded a peak viewership rating of 8.2%, making it the #1 show on Friday.

While some fans admired Key’s home, others felt disconnected from yet another luxury house reveal.

Many long-time viewers prefer relatable homes like those previously shown by Yook Joong Wan, Defconn, and Kian84, instead of multi-million dollar apartments.

Some netizens commented:

• “Why hate on celebrities? Let them enjoy their success.”
• “They worked hard for their dream home—what’s the problem?”
• “I skip the show when they feature another luxury home.”
• “Are all celebrities this rich?”
• “Watching this just makes me feel broke.”
• “I miss Yook Joong Wan’s old house.”

With more and more luxurious celebrity homes being showcased, some are wondering—is Home Alone still relatable, or has it become a show for the rich?

Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
