South Korean celebrity Lee Ji-hye recently moved into a new apartment, embracing a minimalist lifestyle. However, her fresh start in a new home, described as a renovated 40-pyeong (approximately 132 square meters) unit in an older building, has been marred by a significant issue.
In a YouTube video shared on her channel '๋ฐ์ง์์ ๊ด์ข ์ธ๋' (roughly translated as 'Unlikable Attention Seeker'), Lee Ji-hye offered her followers a virtual tour of her new residence. While showcasing the spacious and seemingly luxurious interior, she candidly pointed out what she considers the sole drawback of her new dwelling.
Despite her aspirations for a clean and uncluttered living space, Lee Ji-hye revealed that her new apartment, located in a building constructed 40 years ago, has a persistent problem with cockroaches. The celebrity expressed her dismay, noting that the pests were found in the ceiling, a detail that clearly detracted from the otherwise positive unveiling of her new home.
