Jiyoung Kang & Jaejun Kang Explore 59㎡ 'National Standard' Apartments on 'Help Me Homes' - Rekindling Romance Rumors?

Broadcaster Jiyoung Kang, formerly an announcer, and comedian Jaejun Kang are set to embark on an exploration of 59㎡ 'National Standard' apartments on MBC's 'Help Me Homes'.

Tonight's (4th) episode will shine a spotlight on the evolving definition of the 'National Standard' apartment size, reflecting the growing trend of single-person and two-person households. While 84㎡ units were traditionally considered the standard for a family of four, 59㎡ is emerging as the new benchmark.

Jiyoung Kang, Jaejun Kang, and Yang Se-hyung will tour apartment listings in the Seoul metropolitan area. Their first stop is an 84㎡ apartment in Guro-dong, Gwangjin-gu, where they marvel at the efficient use of space designed for a single occupant. Highlights include a private garden view, a sun-drenched living room, a stylish kitchen, and a Finnish sauna installed in the master bedroom's walk-in closet, eliciting envy from the cast.

Adding a touch of intrigue, Yang Se-hyung's comment to Park Na-rae, "You should have something like this in your house...", hints at a possible romantic connection, which Jaejun Kang playfully responds to, "Because I need to use it...", causing a stir in the studio. All eyes are on whether this will reignite romance rumors between them.

Furthermore, the episode will reveal a unique space designed for a contrabass player. Jaejun Kang described it as a "fresh shock" and expressed his deep admiration.

The team then heads to Byeolnae New Town in Namyangju City to showcase an 84㎡ apartment for a family of five, complete with three elementary school-aged children. This high-floor unit offers a panoramic city view and the benefit of a 'first-floor-like' elevation above the escape floor, making it appealing for families.

Don't miss the full apartment tour on MBC's 'Help Me Homes' tonight at 10 PM.

Netizens expressed excitement, with comments like "I'm a huge fan of announcer Kang Jiyoung, so I'm looking forward to her appearance on Homez," "The combination of Kang Jae-jun and Yang Se-hyung seems hilarious," and "I can't wait to see the info on the 59㎡ National Standard apartments."
