On October 21, through her YouTube channel, Jeon Wonju said, "It's been over 20 years since I bought this house. The mountain is nearby and the scenery is great," adding, "There was a time when I had no work. I was so upset that I went hiking every day. Since the mountain is close, I realized I could just wake up and go hiking in this neighborhood."

Jeon Wonju explained that she bought the house for 200 million won at the time, saying, "The previous owner was in urgent need of money, so they sold it cheaply.

I even canceled my savings account to pay the taxes. The bank teller was surprised."
