Celebrity skips wedding and honeymoon to invest in apartment interior

A celebrity revealed on the MBC program "Where Is My Home" that they opted to forgo a wedding and honeymoon to fund a high-quality apartment interior. After an eight-year relationship, the couple sold their vehicles to invest in the home, which was purchased for 1.175 billion won in 2024.

The story of a newlywed couple who decided to focus all their resources on their living environment instead of following the customs of a wedding and honeymoon has been revealed. On the MBC entertainment program "Where Is My Home," the show featured an apartment with an interior reminiscent of a magazine pictorial, along with the story of the couple who made unconventional choices to secure the home.

Couple goes 'all-in' on apartment interior, giving up wedding and honeymoon

The home of the newlywed couple appearing on the broadcast drew attention for being a space that looked as if an interior design magazine had been brought to life. Detailed sensibilities were evident, such as custom-made doors used to conceal the refrigerator and Hanji lamps shaped like trees using wire. The well-lit living room and neat interior drew praise from the cast, who remarked, "It doesn't feel like a typical house."

Behind the couple's ability to decorate such a high-quality space was a bold decision. Instead of skipping the wedding and honeymoon, the couple decided to concentrate all those costs on preparing the house and its interior. They even sold their respective vehicles to pour all available resources into their living space. This drew attention for aligning with the changing marriage culture of the MZ generation, who seek practical value to reduce the burden of high housing costs and wedding expenses.

The apartment in question was purchased for 1.175 billion won in 2024, and the recent actual transaction price for the same size unit was recorded at 1.28 billion won. While there was an increase in value of approximately 100 million won over about two years, the frequency of transactions was low due to the nature of the complex having few households, resulting in a somewhat slow reflection of actual transaction prices.

"It was a real exclusive"... Celebrity's unique marriage and gifts from fans

In the following conversation, a celebrity revealed the marriage process they underwent after an eight-year relationship. Rather than prior consultation with their agency or releasing a long official statement to fans, the celebrity shared an anecdote of deciding on the marriage immediately after making a reservation with the agency. At the time, they left a sincere message on their fan cafe, stating, "I have met someone I want to be with for a lifetime."

Interestingly, the news of the marriage reported at that time was what is known as a "real exclusive." The celebrity revealed that while an exclusive report was published at the time, it was not reproduced by other media outlets, and because the media outlet that reported the article has since disappeared, only a single article remains online.

During that busy period of performance activities, the celebrity also received a game console collected by fans as a wedding gift. They concluded the conversation by sharing the current update that they do not have a partner at this time.
