Park Kyung-hye seeks new home with five specific requirements

Actress Park Kyung-hye has begun searching for a new residence after revealing her 6-pyeong Yeoksam-dong studio on "I Live Alone." Seeking to resolve inconveniences from her current home, she has set five conditions, including a partitioned layout and a pest-free environment, while inspecting properties in Jangan-dong, Bukchon, and Sadang-dong.

Actress Park Kyung-hye has begun the search for a new home after leaving the first studio apartment she revealed on the MBC entertainment program "I Live Alone." She has set five specific requirements, ranging from a partitioned layout and designated parking to scenery featuring nature. Among these, her most desperate wish is unexpectedly for a "home without cockroaches and rats." Expressing her realistic housing needs one by one, Park revealed her deep concerns as she struggled to find a property that fully meets her preferences.

On the 25th, a video titled "Um.. I can move, right?" was released on Park Kyung-hye's YouTube channel "Want to See Kyung-hye?". In the video, Park announced her plans to begin preparing for a move in earnest. She expressed a determination to find a space that does more than just change her residence, aiming to resolve the inconveniences she has experienced while living in her current home.

The first condition she cited was a partitioned structure. Park explained that while she enjoys cooking at home, she is concerned about cooking odors permeating her laundry and mattress. She joked, "It feels like it's even inside the refrigerator when I sleep," a sentiment easily relatable to anyone who has lived in a cramped space where the kitchen and bedroom are not separated.

Her second condition was to move away from Gangnam. Park noted that traveling from her current area takes a long time. Additionally, as she has recently developed an interest in walking and strolling, her desire for the surrounding environment has grown. Stating, "It's always the same building, the same view," she expressed a wish to live in a neighborhood where she can feel close to nature and encounter diverse scenery.

She also considered lifestyle convenience. Having recently injured her leg, Park stated she prefers a home with an elevator. She explained this is not an absolute requirement but something she would like to have in mind for her future daily life. Parking was also a significant consideration; she mentioned she would be willing to pay a bit more for a place that offers designated parking.

The final condition was an environment free of insects and rats. Park explained that while there are flies and mosquitoes in her home, she was told that managing windows and humidity could solve those issues to some extent. However, regarding cockroaches, she confessed, "I heard that no matter what you do, it doesn't work." While a realistic concern anyone might face when choosing a house, it is an unavoidable factor for Park in deciding on a new home.

Park has actually inspected properties in several areas, including Jangan-dong, Bukchon, and Sadang-dong, but has not yet signed a contract. While looking through both apartments and villas, she realized the reality that it is not easy to find a home that satisfies all her conditions. She expressed the frustration of the house-hunting process, saying, "Looking at apartments and villas, I find myself thinking, 'Why isn't there a house for me?'"

The interest in Park Kyung-hye's moving preparations stems from her first studio apartment revealed on "I Live Alone" this past April. At that time, she drew attention by introducing a roughly 6-pyeong (approx. 20 square meter) home located in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul, stating, "This is my first time living alone. I've even sought out a house for the first time." Having secured her first independent living space, she is now seeking a better environment based on her actual living experience.

From a separated kitchen and ample living space to a neighborhood good for walking, convenient parking, and a pest-free environment, Park's conditions focus on elements that will make her daily life comfortable rather than flashy interior design. As she continues to view various properties without finding a perfect match, attention is focused on whether she can find a new home that satisfies all five of her wishes.
