Kim Jaejoong reveals his three-story detached house in Tokyo for the first time... homemade kimchi and frugal lifestyle

Singer Kim Jaejoong revealed his house located in Meguro, Tokyo, Japan through the KBS 2TV variety show ’Shinsangchulsi Pyeonstorang.’ Kim Jaejoong showcased this house, where he has been living for about three years, for the first time in his 23-year career since debut. The revealed Tokyo house caught attention with its spacious size and luxurious interior from the entrance. Inside the house, there was a high-quality wooden staircase and an elevator installed, and the main living room on the second floor had a ceiling height of 4 meters, creating an open and airy feeling. Kim Jaejoong said, ″What I liked most about this house was the high ceiling. The ceiling windows are also open, so it feels peaceful.″ He also explained that the floor was equipped with heating. The kitchen was unusually large for a Japanese home, featuring a marble island and a five-burner gas stove. Kim Jaejoong expressed satisfaction with the kitchen, saying, ″In regular homes, the heat is weak, so the taste doesn’t come out. Here, it’s enjoyable to cook.″ The refrigerator contained homemade kimchi, Korean seasonings, and prepared frozen ingredients, and Kim Jaejoong revealed, ″I always make kimchi myself even in Japan.″ Emphasizing a spirit of frugality, Kim Jaejoong was shown purchasing ingredients using supermarket sale flyers. On one side of the kitchen, leftover vegetables such as enoki mushrooms and onions were soaked in water to regrow, and he mentioned that he reuses vegetable scraps instead of throwing them away. Kim Jaejoong presented home-cooked dishes such as radish salad, special summer noodle dishes, and solo meals. The second-floor bathroom was equipped with a TV and ceiling heater, and the luxurious bedroom, a dressing room full of clothes, two guest rooms, and an outdoor rooftop with an ethanol fireplace were also revealed. Introducing the outdoor rooftop, Kim Jaejoong said, ″It’s lonely,″ which brought laughter. Since debuting with TVXQ in 2003, Kim Jaejoong has continued activities in Japan through JYJ and solo work. His life in Japan and house reveal can be seen on ’Shinsangchulsi Pyeonstorang,’ which aired at 8:30 PM on the 27th.
