[Sportschosun Kim Jun-seok] Model Shiho Yano was left in awe after visiting a penthouse worth 30 billion won in one of Tokyo's most exclusive residential districts.
On the 12th, a video titled "Shiho Yano Reveals Her Younger Sister(?) Living in a 3 Billion Yen Mansion (feat. The Story of Her First Meeting with Choo)" was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Shiho Yano."
That day, Shiho Yano visited the Tokyo home of Ayano Sasaki, her close friend of more than 25 years and a Japanese model and businesswoman.
The production team asked, "Isn't Shiho Yano's house expensive too?" and Yano replied, "Compared with our house, this is on another level," as she introduced her friend's home.
As she stepped inside, Yano could not hide her amazement at the view of Tokyo Tower through the living room window. "Wow, Tokyo Tower is right in front of me. This feels like a dream life," she said, repeatedly expressing her surprise.
Ayano introduced the home, saying, "Many people say this house is incredibly expensive," and Yano looked up at the high ceiling and said, "I thought the ceiling was 9 meters high." Ayano then clarified, "It's 7 meters," drawing even more attention.
The ultra-luxurious interior also drew attention. While introducing a sofa from the Italian luxury brand Edra, Ayano said, "This sofa costs about 10 million yen," and Yano could not hide her shock, asking, "Really?"
At current exchange rates, that comes to roughly 100 million won.
A large natural stone table in the living room and custom-made furniture were also revealed.
Ayano explained, "I used to like flashy styles, but for this house I wanted something more mature and sophisticated," adding, "I chose the furniture myself with my mother."
As Yano looked around the house, she continued to marvel at the Barbie-themed dressing room, luxury collections, and Halloween costumes prepared to match the family's theme.
She especially burst into laughter at the dressing room filled with pink outfits and various fashion items, saying, "It really looks like Barbie."
The two also revisited old memories while unveiling the lavish home.
Yano shared a story about introducing Choo Sung-hoon to her mother and friends before they started dating. Later, during a phone call, her mother said, "My first impression was that he was a little scary, but once I opened my heart, he was truly warm," expressing her affection for Choo.
