Designer Kim Chung-jae Returns to 'I Live Alone' After Three Years

Designer and TV personality Kim Chung-jae made a return to the popular MBC variety show 'I Live Alone' after a three-year hiatus.

In the episode aired on the 10th, a preview featuring Kim Chung-jae was revealed at the end of the show. During the teaser, fellow cast member Kian84 confessed, "I no longer find joy in painting. It has become a source of stress for me." While painting, Kian84 even spilled paint, showing his lack of focus.

Eventually, Kian84 decided to leave his studio and visit Kim Chung-jae's workspace, whom he hadn't seen in a while. Kian84 shared his struggles, saying, "I think I'm suffering because I have too many ambitions." Kim Chung-jae offered support, saying, "That's a good thing. It means you have many possibilities." Kian84 added, "His eyes are clear. Meeting him lifts my spirits."

Later, Kian84 also visited another close friend, Jjinjakman, at his office. He admitted, "I don't know what I'm doing with my life. It feels like I'm stuck." Jjinjakman humorously suggested, "You should try performance art," and "Paint your feet and run around," which brought laughter. Kian84 appreciated the light-hearted advice, saying, "It's nonsense, but I enjoy hearing such things."

Meanwhile, Kim Chung-jae has been publicly dating actress Jung Eun-chae since March of last year.
