The Ultimate Seoul Dream
Hey everyone! If you’ve ever watched a K-drama, you know the deal. The rich CEO character always lives in a jaw-dropping apartment overlooking the Han River, which flows right through the heart of Seoul. It’s the absolute peak of luxury living here—a symbol that you’ve truly made it. Well, rapper and beloved TV personality DinDin (you might know him from the super popular show *2 Days & 1 Night*) is living that dream, but he recently went on air to say that, after actually living there, his fantasy apartment is basically ‘garbage.’ And honestly, his reasons are hilarious.
Reality Bites: Bugs, Noise, and Mold
So what could possibly be so bad about a million-dollar view? According to DinDin, the reality is far from the picture-perfect scenes in dramas. His number one complaint? Bugs. He said that in the summer, his windows get covered with so many shield bugs (which Koreans have nicknamed ‘Tinkerbells’… cute but no thanks) that he can’t even see the river. Yikes.
Next on his list is the noise. His apartment is right next to a major riverside expressway, which means he has to deal with the sound of cars rushing by 24/7. So much for a peaceful, serene home! He also complained about the insane humidity coming off the river, which leads to mold problems. He hilariously said the only real advantage is that food delivery drivers can find his place easily.
The ‘Useless’ Million-Dollar View
Perhaps the most relatable part of his rant was about the view itself. He admitted that the panoramic view is amazing… on the rare days when the weather is perfect. Between rainy days, smog, and Seoul’s infamous fine dust, he says the ‘perfect’ view is something he can only enjoy for a fraction of the year. He joked that living there made him realize the fantasy is way better than the reality, and his brutally honest take has everyone in Korea laughing and nodding in agreement.
It’s a funny reminder that even the most luxurious lifestyles have their downsides. So, if you’re ever feeling jealous of those stunning apartments in K-dramas, just remember DinDin’s story about the bugs and the noise!
