Kim Min Moves from a Van to a 90-Year-Old House, Revealing a 'Unique Outlook on Life'

Kim Min moves from a van to a 90-year-old house, revealing a 'unique outlook on life' The extraordinary living situation of actor Kim Min has been revealed. From a bedroom that looks as if it were transplanted from his experience living in the back seat of a van, to using a power generator, groundwater, and even performing repair work by applying cement himself, it was a scene rarely seen in an ordinary home. In the 667th episode of the MBC variety show 'I Live Alone' broadcast on the 2nd, the daily life of Kim Min, who has been living alone for 28 years, was revealed. On this day, Kim Min began his day in a house with an unusual structure. Upon stepping outside, he surprised the Rainbow members by fixing the doorknob with wire and operating a power generator. The place where Kim Min currently lives is an old house in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province. He explained, "It's the house of a brother who was close to my family, and since it hasn't been used for a long time, I've been living here while traveling back and forth to foreign countries," adding, "It's a house that is almost 80 to 90 years old." The interior of the house revealed afterward also clearly showed the traces of time. In particular, the bedroom had an atmosphere entirely different from a typical residential space. Recalling the past, Kim Min said, "I bought this when I was living abroad," and "I laid a mat on the back seat of a van and hung a cloth." He explained the reason for decorating his current bedroom, saying, "When I was wandering abroad, the feeling of living like that was so good, so this feels exactly like that." Kim Min revealed that he lived abroad for about 8 years, spending one and a half years in the United Kingdom, five years in New Zealand, and one and a half years in Australia. However, his roots are in Dongducheon. Born into a family that settled in Dongducheon since his grandfather's time, he has essentially returned to an old house close to his hometown after wandering abroad. The problem was that because the house is old, there are inconveniences in daily life. In a house that supplies power with a generator and draws groundwater, even the sight of light bulbs flickering was captured. Kim Min stated that the house was built in 1938 and was living by making small repairs where needed, such as applying cement himself. Seeing this, Kian84 marveled, saying, "It's my first time seeing someone do repair work themselves." Nevertheless, Kim Min did not consider these inconveniences to be misfortunes. He said, "I think life is happier when it is slightly lacking. Because it's fun." As his unique lifestyle of enjoying inconveniences and repairing things himself rather than chasing convenience and abundance was revealed, attention was also focused on actor Kim Min's extraordinary outlook on life.
