In a broadcast of “I Live Alone”, which aired in May last year, Kim Kwang-kyu said, “The real estate manager told me to buy a house because there was news that housing prices were about to fall. I trust him so I didn’t buy one and waited for a while. However, the housing price has doubled now. This makes me so angry”, adding, “I’m currently living in an apartment in Gangnam, Seoul on monthly rent”.
