Korean singer and broadcaster DinDin made waves again with his straightforward comments about luxury living in Seoul. On December 26, 2025, the YouTube channel Workman posted a video titled “3 million won one room vs. 7 billion won Han River view apartment.” DinDin appeared alongside actor Lee Joon as they tried a day job as real estate assistants.
The two got training from a senior agent. Talk turned to housing experiences. DinDin shared his own story. He once wanted a place with a view of the Han River. So he rented an officetel there. But he soon regretted it.
“I thought I was going to freeze to death,” he said. In summer, humidity and splashes from the river made it uncomfortable. In winter, cold winds off the water felt brutal. He called Han River views “trash” in the end.
Lee Joon asked a fair question. Why do so many celebrities pick apartments with that view? Home tours on TV always seem to feature it.
DinDin laughed and replied, “It’s just to film ‘I Live Alone’.” The joke landed well and got plenty of laughs in the clip.
Han River view properties count as top luxury in Seoul. Prices often hit billions of won for the panorama. Many stars live in high-rises along the river for the status and scenery. But DinDin’s take points out the practical downsides.
This fits DinDin’s style. He speaks plainly on shows. Back in August 2025, on another Workman episode, he criticized celebrities for losing touch with money’s value.
He mentioned supercars and expensive items after a co-star guessed wrong on a cafe manager’s pay.
The latest video spread fast online. Fans found his honesty refreshing. Some agreed that views come with trade-offs like noise or weather issues. Others saw the humor in poking at showbiz habits.
‘I Live Alone’ on MBC shows celebrities at home. It often highlights nice views. The program faced tough times lately.
Comedian Park Na Rae and SHINee’s Key stepped away amid a controversy over unlicensed medical treatments from someone called the “injection aunt.” That scandal hurt the show’s image.
DinDin keeps busy with music, variety appearances, and candid moments like this. His comments spark talks about real life versus on-screen glamour in Korean entertainment.
