On the latest episode of MBC's 'Help Me Homes,' TV personality Lucky made a surprising appearance at the Indian Ambassador's official residence, stunning both his co-hosts and the audience.

During a special segment featuring a commute along the Han River, Lucky revealed his connection to the residence, stating, 'I've been there before. Last year, I visited with actor Shin Hyun-joon.' This revelation immediately piqued the curiosity of co-hosts Kim Sook, Baekga, and Leo, who eagerly requested a tour.

Demonstrating his extensive network, Lucky casually called the Ambassador's residence, shocking Leo who exclaimed, 'It connected immediately?' Baekga also expressed his astonishment, questioning if Lucky was on such close terms with the Ambassador. Kim Sook, ever the skeptic, playfully doubted the authenticity of Lucky's claims, suggesting the call might be ignored.

However, Lucky's connections proved genuine as the foursome was soon invited into the magnificent 600-pyeong (approximately 1983 sq m) estate. Lucky proudly remarked, 'This might be the first time the Ambassador's home has been revealed to the public.' Kim Sook added, 'Thanks to Lucky, we get to see this place. I realized Lucky's capabilities again at that moment.'

The sprawling residence boasts a grand entrance, a three-tiered garden, and a three-story main house. Lucky explained that while it might seem vast for a single family, it's essential for hosting numerous guests. Joo Woo-jae marveled at the hidden expanse behind the gates, while the interior, featuring an open living room and abundant Indian decor, captivated everyone.

The Ambassador's wife shared that the building was originally a school in the 1980s and was renovated eight years prior, preserving its original structure. She noted the residence has eight bedrooms and six bathrooms. When asked about her favorite Korean actors, she named Park Bo-gum, Lee Dong-wook, and Gong Yoo, expressing her admiration for K-dramas.

Lucky, whose real name is Kang Hee-gun, is a well-known television personality and entrepreneur in South Korea.

He is recognized for his fluent language skills and extensive network of acquaintances, often highlighted on various entertainment programs.

Lucky has also ventured into acting, with a notable role in the popular drama 'Descendants of the Sun.'
