Actor Lee Joo-seung reveals his overflowing wardrobe on the latest episode of MBC's 'I Live Alone'.
On the October 6th broadcast, Lee Joo-seung took on the challenge of becoming a fashion icon in Seongsu-dong. Reflecting on his cluttered closet, he admitted, "When things pile up, you start to give up. The wardrobe has become a mess, the most neglected space in my home."
As Lee began sorting through his clothes, the show's cast expressed their disapproval of his style. Jeon Hyun-moo commented, "I love clothes, but nothing here catches my eye," while Lim Woo-il added, "Usually, I feel bad about getting rid of clothes, but there are many here that seem unworn. If you can't wear them, you should really let them go," prompting laughter.
Lee shared his philosophy on decluttering, stating, "The key is to remove emotions. If you think about clothes as gifts from an ex-girlfriend or from your mom for graduation, you can't throw them away." He humorously added, "But you have to let go. Only then will your mom buy more, and you'll find a new girlfriend." This sparked laughter in the studio, with Jeon Hyun-moo jokingly asking, "Are you challenging me? Why throw away something your mom gave you?" and Code Kunst chiming in, "You and I might compete for the 'ungrateful son' title."
Ultimately, Lee embarked on a major decluttering mission, selecting clothes to donate. He carried a bag weighing approximately 30kg to a reuse store, donating 65 items in total, with the donation amounting to 220,000 won.
However, he was soon spotted visiting a vintage shop, drawing laughter. Kian84 quipped, "Aren't you going to end up back at the donation store soon?"
Lee introduced his fashion mentor, close friend and actor Son Woo-hyun, saying, "He's my closest actor friend, famous for his 'boyfriend material' photos on social media, and was once the second most famous thing in Daejeon after Seongsimdang."
Lee also mentioned being told he resembles idol group 'Cortis' member Joo-hoon, and decided to try out that style. "I often hear I look like Joo-hoon," he said, "People even ask if we're related."
The cast's reaction was less than enthusiastic. Code Kunst and Kian84 joked, "Is this your last broadcast?" and "You've lost your touch, Joo-seung," while Jeon Hyun-moo teased, "Did you write those three comments yourself?"
Meanwhile, Kian84 was taken aback when Lim Woo-il included him in the 'people like us' (those lacking fashion sense) category, responding, "I don't like hearing that from you," drawing attention.
