Former national soccer player Song Jong-kook confessed that he has been living in a camper for four years.

On the broadcast of MBN's 'Altoran' on the 20th, Song Jong-kook appeared as a guest and stated, "I've been living in a camper instead of a house for four years now."

When asked if living in a camper is uncomfortable, Song Jong-kook shook his head and replied, "It's more comfortable living in a camper than in an apartment."

He added, "It's hard to park when living in an apartment. When you take the elevator, you bump into people, and there's noise between floors," expressing his satisfaction by saying, "(The camper) can be thought of as a small house of 6 pyeong."

Although the house is 6 pyeong, when introduced as having a yard of 300 pyeong, Song Jong-kook joked, "It's a bit bigger than 300 pyeong."

On that day's broadcast, it was revealed that Song Jong-kook lives in a 6 pyeong-sized camping trailer in a rural area near a reservoir in Gyeonggi Province.

In particular, his daily routine of mowing a lawn that spans 500 pyeong was shown, explaining, "If I take my time, it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and if I run while mowing, it takes about 1 hour."

Song Jong-kook, who was a key player in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup semi-final myth, married actress Park Yeon-soo in 2006 and has one son and one daughter, but they divorced in 2015.

Park Yeon-soo indirectly mentioned the child support conflict with Song Jong-kook in 2023, drawing attention. At that time, she left a post on her SNS saying, "I just asked you to keep the promise made before the law for the children..." and later revised it to 'child support,' shocking the public.
