The house featured in JTBC's 'Everyone is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness' makes an appearance.

On the upcoming October 30th episode of MBC's 'Save Me! Holmes' (hereafter referred to as 'Holmes'), the show celebrates its 7th anniversary with a special segment called 'Genius Fieldwork,' where participants guess house prices based solely on clues without any prior information.

The episode will feature the self-proclaimed 'Genius Detective' Jang Dong-min, 'Dongdu Genius' Yang Se-hyung, and 'Fieldwork Ace Intern' STAYC's Yoon. The trio will embark on a blind fieldwork challenge, relying only on visible clues and their instincts to deduce the house prices. With a celebratory dinner budget at stake for the 7th anniversary, the competition promises to be intense. Jang Dong-min and Yang Se-hyung will leverage their accumulated fieldwork experience to protect the dinner budget, drawing attention to whether their instincts, honed over time, will prevail.

As they move to the second house, the trio, blindfolded, shows signs of surprise at unexpected slopes but sharpens their senses as they reach their destination. The interior structure, differing from typical apartments, leads to speculation that it might be a villa. Yang Se-hyung checks the exterior through an open window and confidently declares it to be a "very old apartment," setting the tone for the investigation. The story unfolds that the homeowner purchased the place while searching for the 'cheapest apartment in Seoul,' prompting the participants to continue their careful deductions.

While opinions differ on the house's location, the production team provides a hint that they can access the rooftop. Upon reaching it, Yang Se-hyung confidently states, "After 7 years of 'Save Me! Holmes,' I know this much!" His confidence is further bolstered by the reveal of a hint food item, showcasing his 'Dongdu Genius' prowess.

However, unexpected laughter ensues when Yang Se-hyung struggles to multiply the area by the price per square meter. As additional clues are revealed, the scope of their deductions narrows. The anticipation builds as viewers wonder if they will accurately guess the house's identity and its transaction price at the time of sale. Meanwhile, it is revealed that this apartment was featured as the protagonist's home in the currently airing JTBC drama 'Everyone is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness,' adding to the excitement.
