'Dad of 5 children' Seong-ho Jeong: "Hide your child in real estate..."
MBC's 'Save Me!' aired on the 1st. In 'Holmes' (hereinafter referred to as 'Holmes'), actors Hwang Bo-ra and Yang Se-hyung, and comedians Jeong Seong-ho and Yang Se-chan each set out to find properties for sale.
On this day's broadcast, for the first time in 'Holmes', a family of 5 siblings and 7 people appeared as clients. The couple, who have five children ranging in age from 2 to 7, say they will soon have to move to the house they are currently living in as the lease expires. The husband, who is an office worker, and the wife, who works from home as a freelance instructor, said that 24 hours were not enough as they were raising children at the same time, and the reason for requesting 'Holmes' was revealed. The desired area was the entire Seoul area within 30 to 40 minutes by public transportation from Seoul Station, where my husband's workplace is located, and I hoped there would be a subway station and bus stop nearby. They wanted three or more rooms, and a daycare center and elementary school within a 15-minute walk for their children. The budget stated that jeonse could be up to 750 million won.
In the Bok team, actors Hwang Bo-ra and Yang Se-hyung went to Banghwa-dong, Gangseo-gu and introduced a single-family home. It is said that the building was built in 1995 and was remodeled a year ago. It is said to be a beautiful stone house with a spacious living room and rooms with beautiful views on the second and third floors. Above all, the outdoor veranda on the 1.5th floor and the spacious rooftop could be used for a variety of purposes, including a swimming pool and barbecue parties for the five siblings.
While looking around another house, Hwang Bo-ra refers to the product provided as a basic option as a 'sponsorship', and expresses a snowy mountain as 'snow mountain' and 'seonsan', revealing an unusual charm. In response, Yang Se-hyung enthusiastically explained 'masonry bathtub' to Hwang Bo-ra, but in the process, he said the meaning of 'masonry' incorrectly, causing the studio to turn upside down.
From Team Deok, comedians Jeong Seong-ho and Yang Se-chan went to Gwangjang-dong, Gwangjin-gu. It is a single-family home built in 1971 for sale in a subway area with Gwangnaru Station a 5-minute walk away, but the owner, an architect, is said to have completed the remodeling in 2022. When Yang Se-chan introduced that it was a 20-step walk from the property to the elementary school, Jeong Seong-ho confessed that the most difficult time for parents of multiple children is when their children go to school.
Jeong Seong-ho introduced himself as “This is Seong-ho Jeong, who became the father of five children this year,” and announced the news of his recent birth. Park Na-rae asked, "If you have a lot of children, aren't there any restrictions on finding a house?" To which Seong-ho Jeong replied, "There are too many restrictions. The real estate agent even told me to hide the children when looking for a house. He said that if I don't have two, they will never give me a house to rent." He recalled an embarrassing situation. He also revealed a funny experience, saying, "Even when we pack up and leave home to go on a trip, people say, 'I'm the one moving that house.' If we move at night, I suspect they're running away because they can't pay the rent."
Jeong Seong-ho, as an expert on having multiple children, released a lot of life-related information that is essential for daily life. Looking at every corner of the house from the perspective of a father of multiple children, he surprised everyone by confessing the dangers of children's accidents and the dizzying moments of accidents he actually experienced.
