[Sportschosun reporter Lee Ji-hyun] Actress Kim Min's remarkably free-spirited lifestyle even surprised Kian84.
The December 2 episode of MBC's "I Live Alone" featured the daily life of scene-stealing actress Kim Min, who exudes an overwhelming aura.
That day, Kim Min's home captivated the cast with a level of surprise they had never seen before on "I Live Alone."
Kim Min awoke in a bedroom decorated with flamboyant fabrics and unusual props. She opened a small door marked "EXIT" and stepped through it. The area beyond the emergency exit was the living room. Kim Shin-young expressed her surprise at the home's unexpected layout, asking, "Was that a cave(?)"
Kim Min then put on her shoes, went outside, pushed through the bushes and headed somewhere. When she pulled a mysterious cord, a machine started with a rumbling sound, and the light bulbs throughout the house gradually came on. She had turned on a generator to supply electricity. The unusual sight, rarely seen in modern society, made viewers question their own eyes.
Introducing the house, Kim Min said, "This is a house in Dongducheon that belonged to an older friend my family was close to." She added, "It was built in 1938. It's almost 80 or 90 years old. I've been living here while fixing it little by little." Regarding the distinctive bedroom, she explained, "When I lived abroad, there were times when I lived in a car. I used to hang fabric over the windows of a van. I felt so good living on the move that I recreated it here."
Kim Min said, "I lived in the United Kingdom for about a year and a half, New Zealand for five years, and Australia for about a year and a half. I spent a total of eight years living abroad." She also dispelled any misconception that she was a foreigner, saying, "I was born in Dongducheon. My family has lived in Dongducheon continuously since my grandfather's time. My mother is still in Dongducheon."
When Kim Min showered in the bathroom, all the lights in the house flickered. She explained, "We draw up groundwater and use it, and when the generator runs the water pump, the lights flicker." She also shared her philosophy, saying, "Life should be a little lacking to be happy. There's joy in filling in what's missing."
A cast member saw Kian84's genuine reaction to Kim Min's lifestyle as he exclaimed, "That's so damn cool," and teased him, saying, "Kian84 is practically trembling." Kian84 joked, "It makes me a little more careful about the questions I ask," drawing laughs.
