[Sportschosun reporter Kim Soo-hyun] Actress Ki Eun-se showed off the finished renovation of her detached house in Pyeongchang-dong, which had drawn complaints from neighbors over what they called a disruptive construction project.
On the 25th, a room tour video of her new home in Pyeongchang-dong was released on the YouTube channel "Ki Eun-se's Home."
After moving from Samseong-dong to Pyeongchang-dong, Ki said, "Everything visible from the master bedroom and the living room has been tidied up."
Ki, who said the kitchen was the first area she finished organizing, introduced the house in detail that day.
She explained, "When I filmed in the kitchen last time, the living room was still under construction. I had no choice but to shoot in a hurry. Given the circumstances, I did my best."
The kitchen features a home bar and a luxurious custom-made design from various brands. Ki also revealed the fully equipped home bar, complete with lighting, saying, "You may think custom home bars can't be made, but they can."
The dining table was made with veneer. Ki introduced it by saying, "The table I had made was expensive, but if it had been a branded piece, it would have cost tens of millions of won. I had mine made for 6 million won."
Beyond the kitchen, lush landscaping came into view. Ki boasted, "This is my proudest view. You can't buy it even with money. Before the house renovation, there was already a floor-to-ceiling window. The previous owner praised it so much, and said all their friends would come over for coffee."
Ki said, "I wanted the house to feel balanced. We are not abroad, after all. I thought it might look excessive to some people. And I don't really like that either. So instead of choosing simple furniture for the kitchen, I tried to add more points of interest through the ceiling, chandelier lighting, wall decor, and similar details."
Earlier, Ki had also been caught up in controversy over inconvenience caused to residents during the renovation of the detached house in Pyeongchang-dong. Some residents claimed that construction vehicles made it difficult to pass through the alley, and that they were troubled by construction waste and dust.
As the controversy grew, her agency said, "After becoming aware of complaints about parking inconvenience and cleaning issues, we apologized directly to the residents and completed neighborhood cleaning. We also quickly addressed the vehicle access problem. We will continue to communicate with residents until the construction is finished."
Later, Ki also shared her feelings on Social Networking Service (SNS), saying, "This is the first house I bought with money I earned myself, so there were many things I wanted to do, which made the construction period longer."
Meanwhile, Ki married a Korean American businessman in 2012, but the couple divorced in 2023.
