The Han River view apartment sold for 500 million won has become 2.3 billion won… Im Hyung-jun's confession
Actor Lim Hyung-jun expressed his regret on MBC 'Where Is My Home' by revealing that the current market price of the Kumho-dong apartment he sold in the past is 2.3 billion won.
Actor Im Hyung-jun expressed regret while mentioning the current market price of an apartment he sold in the past. Appearing on the MBC variety program 'Where Is My Home' broadcast on the 23rd, Im Hyung-jun shared his past real estate investment experience while inspecting an apartment located near a subway station in Namchang-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.
Im Hyung-jun revealed that back in 2007, while active in the 'Glory of the Family' series, he purchased a top-floor apartment with a Han River view in Geumho-dong for 280 million won. He later sold the house in 2014 for 550 million won, but he made the scene erupt in laughter by revealing that the current market price of the apartment has reached 2.3 billion won.
"I hope comedians catch 'actor's disease'" Im Hyung-jun's playful joke
Jung Yi-rang also appeared in the broadcast. A comedian from the 2008 MBC open recruitment, Jung Yi-rang confessed that she puts in a lot of effort, such as personally borrowing clothes or recording, to build her characters. While performing serious acting, she stood out by immediately switching to comic acting despite being flustered by Yang Se-hyung's teasing.
Im Hyung-jun also shared news about 'Temple of Acting,' a YouTube fake documentary content that he personally planned and scripted. Featuring actors such as Yoo Ji Tae, Ryu Seung Ryong, Lee Geung-young, and Park Jung Min, the content has currently reached 16 episodes. Im Hyung-jun announced the end date, saying, "Regrettably, we decided to go only up to 20 episodes." He added that he plans to expand the universe and challenge himself by producing a sitcom. In response, Joo Woo-jae mentioned seniors like Choi Min-yong and Kim Jin, saying that a sitcom needs tall and silly characters.
A bold statement asking comedians to leave space in variety shows
Im Hyung-jun also spoke about comedians entering the acting field. He mentioned that comedians are often recognized for their acting skills on set, and shared a joke mixed with sincerity, wishing that many colleagues would challenge themselves in acting and catch "actor's disease." He continued, "I hope comedians do many works and all catch actor's disease. I hope they abandon variety shows, transition to acting, and if a spot opens up in the variety show scene, I'd like to take it."
When Jung Yi-rang requested Im Hyung-jun to show both serious and comic acting with the line "Don't do it," Im Hyung-jun immediately countered by imitating Park Jin-young's voice, saying, "I haven't caught the disease." In this broadcast, an apartment in the 200 million won range in central Seoul was introduced, leading to a field brokerage battle among the cast, including Kim Sook.
