Gi-an84's 'Secondhand Sale' Remark Leaves Park Na-rae in Tears and Laughter, Sparks Viewer Debate

A casual remark by Gi-an84 on the MBC variety show 'I Live Alone' has ignited a debate among viewers. Park Na-rae's reaction, a mix of tears and laughter, ultimately diffused the situation.

In the episode aired on the 26th, Park Na-rae was seen sorting through the belongings of her late grandparents. While Gi-an84 and Jun Hyun-moo were present to offer support, their actions were far from consoling.

When Park Na-rae became emotional looking at kimchi left by her grandmother, both Gi-an84 and Jun Hyun-moo stood by idly, drawing criticism from other cast members for their lack of empathy. The situation escalated when Park Na-rae contemplated reusing a sofa that held many memories.

Gi-an84's suggestion, "How about taking a picture and putting it up on Carrot Market?" (a popular secondhand trading app), startled Park Na-rae. She cried out, "It's still in good shape, why would I sell it on Carrot Market?"

Back in the studio, a visibly embarrassed Gi-an84 apologized, stating, "I just thought it was going to be thrown away, I said it as a joke. I'm sorry." Jun Hyun-moo intervened humorously, asking, "Do you want to be hit with a carrot? Get out to the bathroom."

Park Na-rae, amidst her tears, eventually burst into laughter, exclaiming, "What kind of person is this?" This reaction created a bittersweet moment for the viewers.

Viewer responses were divided. Some found Gi-an84's bluntness characteristic and amusing, saying, "It's typical Gi-an84, funny and sad but ended up in laughter," and "You can just take it lightly since it's a variety show." However, others expressed discomfort, commenting, "Even on a variety show, you need to consider the time and place," and "Bringing up secondhand sales when discussing belongings of the deceased crossed a line."
