Yoon Jung-soo Reveals New Home is a 'Monthly Rental' Amidst Debt Recollections

Comedian Yoon Jung-soo has revealed his new home with his soon-to-be wife, also sharing his thoughts on his lingering belongings from his bankruptcy days.

On the TV CHOSUN show 'Lovers of Joseon,' broadcast on the 22nd, Yoon Jung-soo's 50-pyeong (approx. 165 sqm) marital home, where he will soon tie the knot, was unveiled. The house was filled with memorabilia, including paper cranes from fans dating back 25 years, alongside boxes of debt certificates and bankruptcy documents that brought back memories of his difficult past.

Presenting the bankruptcy documents, Yoon Jung-soo stated, 'I keep these to remind myself to stay grounded.' He further reflected on his hardships, saying, 'I tore up the papers for the debts I paid off. It was a relief,' with a smile.

Regarding the spacious 50-pyeong home, he explained, 'I have a lot of stuff, so I splurged a bit on a larger space.' He candidly admitted, 'It's a semi-jeonse, a monthly rental.' He humorously added, 'When people ask, I don't say it's a monthly rental, I say semi-jeonse.'

When asked about his possessions that haven't decreased even after 10 years, he recalled, 'During my bankruptcy, I had to quickly move all my belongings out.' He explained the situation, saying, 'My previous house was really big then.' Yoon Jung-soo, who incurred billions of won in debt due to business failures and joint guarantees in 2008, filed for bankruptcy in 2013 and sold his penthouse in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu.

Yoon Jung-soo rose to fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s through various popular comedy shows, establishing himself as a beloved comedian. He also ventured into business, founding 'Gag Jikye' in the early 2000s. Currently, in addition to his broadcasting activities, he actively engages with fans through his YouTube channel, 'Yoon Jung-soo TV,' which boasts a significant subscriber base.
