Lee Jung-jae's neighbor reveals heartwarming stories of his kindness

Kang Ye-won also empathized with the 'manner man' anecdote: "He even asked for my company name; he was truly kind."

The unexpected daily life of actor Lee Jung-jae has been revealed. Known to reside in a high-end luxury villa worth billions of won, he has once again become the subject of a heartwarming story through small acts of consideration for his neighbors that transcend his glamorous lifestyle.

On the 30th, a video titled "The Secret to Success Spoken by 200 billion won CEO Belle Jay | Kang Ye-won's Blue Marble" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Kang Ye-won'.

Kim Hye-jeong, the CEO of a beauty and fashion brand appearing as a guest, revealed that she lives in the same building as Lee and shared a firsthand account of his kindness.

Kang Ye-won cautiously opened the conversation by asking, "Aren't you the person living in the unit below actor Lee Jung-jae?" and added, "I saw his house was revealed on YouTube. Don't Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung live there as well?"

To this, Kim replied, "That's right. I run into him in the elevator sometimes."

While they are not close, she mentioned running into him by chance about once every two or three months. When asked about her first impression of Lee, she showered him with praise without hesitation.

"He has really great manners. Once, when I had a lot of luggage, he held the door for me. It was impressive because he showed such natural consideration."

It wasn't just a matter of exchanging greetings.

Kim shared that he was much more approachable and friendly than expected, noting, "Not long ago, he even asked for my company name. So I told him about my brand."

Hearing this, Kang empathized, saying, "I've seen him before too, and he was a truly wonderful person. His manners were also excellent."

She then made the scene erupt in laughter by joking, "If that's the case, why didn't you give him some cosmetics? I'll deliver them for you instead."

This heartwarming story aligns with the image Lee has maintained for a long time.

In addition to stories of him meticulously taking care of staff on film and drama sets, he has frequently received praise for his considerate attitude during interviews and official appearances.

While he established himself as a global star following the worldwide hit Squid Game, his daily life—where he naturally greets neighbors and practices small acts of kindness—has emerged as yet another heartwarming tale.

La Terrasse, the luxury residential complex in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, where Lee is known to reside, is also drawing renewed attention.

Completed in 2013, this complex is famous as a private luxury villa with 3 basement floors and 16 ground floors, housing only 18 households in total. Lee is known to live in a duplex unit with an exclusive area of 182‒‒m², and the current market value is estimated to be over 8 billion to 9 billion won.

In particular, his close friend Jung Woo-sung is also known to reside in the same complex, making it a consistent topic of conversation as a 'premium residential area for stars.'
