Jung Yi-rang, whose husband has an annual revenue of 5 billion won, instead of owning a home in Seoul

Actress Jung Yi-rang revealed her reasons for not owning a home in Seoul despite her husband's high income. Appearing as a coordinator on the 358th episode of the MBC entertainment show 'Where Is My Home' broadcast on the 23rd, Jung Yi-rang searched for an apartment in central Seoul priced in the 200 million won range alongside Kim Sook and Lim Hyung-jun.

With the average selling price of apartments in Seoul exceeding 1 billion won, Jung Yi-rang expressed her delight when host Kim Sook introduced a property in the 200 million won range. She personally confessed that she is still a non-homeowner without her own residence.

Wanting to avoid loan pressure... "When I'm ready and comfortable"

When Yang Se-chan asked why she doesn't own a home, Jung Yi-rang revealed her economic values. She stated candidly, "I don't want to go through the stress of buying a house and struggling to pay off the loans." This means that rather than feeling psychological pressure from excessive loans, she intends to secure a home stably when she is sufficiently prepared financially. When Kim Dae-ho mentioned benefits for first-time homebuyers, Jung Yi-rang responded wittily, "Those things are well-prepared. Preparedness of the mind."

Although she doesn't have a home in Seoul, she operates a separate space for her family. Jung Yi-rang revealed that instead of owning a home in Seoul, she prepared a second house near the coast of Anmyeondo. Considering her children's preference for sea foraging, she chose a location about two and a half hours away from Seoul. This second house was created for a total of about 200 million won, combining 100 million won for the land and 100 million won for a mobile house. Jung Yi-rang explained that she chose a site with good ground conditions and had a 100 million won mobile house manufactured and placed on it.

Daily life with a husband earning 5 billion won annually and one son and one daughter

Jung Yi-rang's choice drew attention as it contrasted with her husband's economic power. She married Kim Hyung-geun, who is in the food service industry, in 2011, and they have one son and one daughter. Her husband operates a total of six restaurants, with annual sales known to be around 4 to 5 billion won. Her decision to remain a non-homeowner despite appearing to possess significant assets left a fresh impression on viewers.

Jung Yi-rang debuted in 2008 as an MBC 17th recruitment comedian, made a name for herself through the 'SNL Korea' series, and is currently active as an actress, appearing in dramas such as 'Apartment.' Born in 1980, she is a native Seoulite whose family has resided in Seoul since her grandfather's time. She completed elementary through high school in Seoul and only spent her college years in Cheonan. She continued the conversation by mentioning that she is from a Gangnam school district.
