Ha Won Mi reveals daily life in 5,500-pyeong mansion with only one helper

Ha Won Mi, the wife of former baseball player Choo Shin Soo, has revealed her daily life balancing housework and childcare in a massive mansion in the United States. Despite owning a vast residence featuring a house spanning thousands of pyeong, 14 bathrooms, and sports facilities for the family, Ha drew attention by revealing that she manages the home herself without hiring additional domestic staff. The video provides a look at life behind the scenes of a "star's mansion" known for its glamorous exterior.

On the 23rd, Ha released a video titled "[USA Edition] Ha Won Mi's Survival as a Housewife in America" on her YouTube channel. The video captures her ordinary daily life living with her family in the United States, including caring for her school-aged children and performing household chores.

During the video, Ha introduced her daily housework routine, saying, "After sending my second child to school, I do the dishes, laundry, and cleaning." When the production team noted that many people are curious about her life in the United States, she replied, "It is all the same." This suggests that, contrary to her image as the wife of a famous sports star and the owner of a massive mansion, her actual life is not much different from any other housewife.

What drew particular interest was how the mansion is managed. Ha stated, "People ask me how many employees I hire for such a big house, but it is just me." She explained that while managing a house spanning thousands of pyeong, she does not keep multiple domestic staff members on constant standby. Of course, since the total area of the house and the actual living space used are not identical, this did not mean she cleans the entire house every single day.

In the video, Ha was shown cleaning up kitchen trash, doing laundry, and even organizing the refrigerator. Unlike the spatial scale of a mansion, the housework she performed fell into the category of everyday domestic labor, such as washing dishes, laundry, organizing, and cleaning. It was a scene that demonstrated that a large scale does not change the basic routines of life.

When the production team asked, "You don't clean this entire vast space meticulously, do you?" Ha explained, "It's not like that," adding, "I mainly clean the living room and kitchen that we use frequently." This shows a realistic approach to managing the home by focusing on spaces with high usage frequency, distinguishing between different areas to manage the large-scale residence efficiently.

Ha's home has previously garnered attention as it was revealed several times through her YouTube content. The house, introduced as being approximately 5,500 pyeong in size, is said to have a total of 14 bathrooms and includes spaces commemorating Choo Shin Soo's career as an active player and various sports facilities. It gained interest as a space that symbolically represents the life foundation established by Choo Shin Soo's family, who played in Major League Baseball for a long time.

Choo Shin Soo is one of Korea's representative overseas baseball players, having achieved significant success as a player through long-term activity on the U.S. professional baseball stage. Ha is also known for closely supporting her husband's playing career and taking responsibility for raising their three children and managing family life. The sight of the family settling in the United States even after Choo's playing career ended has drawn public interest regarding the post-retirement life of a sports star's family.

In particular, the way large mansions or expensive residential spaces are consumed by the public has been changing recently. While in the past, introductions of celebrities' homes focused on external elements like scale, price, and interior design, interest has recently shifted to how the actual residents use and manage the space. Ha's recent content differs in that it focuses on the repetitive domestic labor and family-centered life occurring within the space, rather than the "5,500-pyeong mansion" itself.

Ultimately, what Ha showed was the life of the person living in the space rather than the massive house itself. Behind the glamorous descriptions of a house spanning thousands of pyeong and being a sports star's family, the daily routine continues: waiting for children to return from school, doing dishes and laundry, and cleaning frequently used spaces like the refrigerator and living room.

Ha married Choo in 2004 and has two sons and a daughter. The family currently resides in Texas, United States. While interest in a star family's mansion usually focuses on the scale of the house and its property value, this video is drawing attention by highlighting the scenery of an ordinary daily life within that space.
