MBC's 'Save Me! Holmes' Celebrates 7th Anniversary with 'Genius House Hunt' Challenge

On Thursday, the 30th, MBC's 'Save Me! Holmes' (hereafter referred to as 'Holmes') will celebrate its 7th anniversary with a special 'Genius House Hunt' challenge, where participants must guess house prices based solely on clues without any prior information.

The episode will feature self-proclaimed 'deduction genius' Jang Dong-min, 'Dongducheon genius' Yang Se-hyung, and 'Ace Intern' Yoon from STAYC. The trio will embark on a blind house hunt, relying only on visible clues and their instincts to deduce house prices. With a celebratory dinner budget on the line for the show's anniversary, the competition promises to be more intense than ever. Jang Dong-min and Yang Se-hyung will leverage their accumulated experience to protect the dinner budget, drawing attention to whether their instincts will prevail.

Yoon from STAYC, who showcased her presence as 'MZ Intern Shim Ja-yoon' in the web variety show 'Office Workers,' will demonstrate her comedic prowess. Despite Jang Dong-min's mischievous questions, she remains unfazed, providing laughter while revealing her current thoughts on living independently, adding a realistic touch to the show. The coordinators also engage with Yoon about her dream house conditions, adding to the intrigue.

The trio gathers at the 'Meeting Square' and travels in a vehicle with obscured windows, unaware of their destination. The Meeting Square serves as a strategic point that can lead to various high-demand real estate areas, depending on the direction taken. With limited clues such as travel time, road texture, and ambient sounds, they must deduce the location, sparking curiosity about their methods.

Upon arrival, they discover clues suggesting the house's owner attended a science high school and Seoul National University, hinting at a prestigious educational background. Yang Se-hyung confidently claims familiarity with the area, stating, "I know this neighborhood," and continues his confident deductions, saying, "Once I know the square footage, I can estimate the size." Despite having no real estate experience, Yoon surprises everyone with her sharp observations, making an unexpected impact. The question remains whether the trio can accurately guess the house price.

The 'Genius House Hunt' episode of 'Holmes' will air on Thursday, the 30th, at 10 PM.
