Singer Brian Reveals His 300-pyeong Mansion is a 'Management Hell,' Jokes About 'No-Kids Zone' and Moving Back to Seoul
Singer Brian has candidly shared the realities of his life in a sprawling 300-pyeong (approx. 10,890 sq ft) detached house, admitting it's more 'management hell' than the idyllic rural dream he envisioned.
Appearing on the JTBC variety show 'Knowing Bros' on the 1st, Brian revealed his long-held desire to live in a country house. Despite warnings from others about the demanding upkeep, he believed his childhood experience of mowing lawns and maintaining swimming pools would make it manageable.
However, reality proved different. Brian recalled a recent visit from close friends Bada and Eugene with their children. "The kids were wandering around the house with candy," he shared, admitting he was exhausted from cleaning up afterward. He jokingly declared, "My house is now a no-kids zone."
His residence has become a local attraction, with weekend "tours" of his home reportedly occurring. "Elderly people from church finish their service and drive by, rolling down their windows to say, 'We're enjoying the view,'" Brian said, expressing gratitude that his space is respected.
His 'mansion life,' previously showcased on his YouTube channel 'The Brian,' was far from leisurely. While trying to enjoy his private swimming pool, Brian quickly found himself grabbing cleaning tools due to excessive dust. "I want to rest, but the world won't let me. Pool cleaning, house cleaning, bathing the dogs... I can't even get five minutes of rest," he sighed, confessing, "I want to move. I'm thinking of moving back to Seoul."
Ultimately, Brian lamented the paradox of rural living: "I finally came here, but I have no time to rest. Please let me rest," he pleaded, highlighting that his dream lifestyle turned into constant labor.
Netizens reacted to Brian's confession, commenting, "As expected, a country house is more 'labor' than 'romance,'" and "It's typical of the diligent Brian." Many also chimed in with, "Still, I'd love to live in a house like that for just one day," and "Even with the upkeep, it's enviable."
