Actress Kim Nam-joo has revealed the garden of her house in Samseong-dong.
On the 26th, Kim Nam-joo's YouTube channel posted a video titled ‘Kim Nam-joo's Secret Garden in Samseong-dong’.
In the video, Kim Nam-joo introduced her garden, which features double cherry blossoms, lilacs, azaleas, hydrangeas, magnolias, plum trees, persimmon trees, and pine trees.
Kim Nam-joo shared, “After getting married and having kids, my affection for this house has deepened. I have no plans to renovate or move. The kids sometimes ask, ‘Should we move to a villa?’ but I don’t think there’s a place as comfortable and familiar as this one.”
She introduced a fountain she purchased in France, saying, “This fountain is over 100 years old, and I bought it because it came from France, but it has a crack. I repaired it, but it cracked again. It’s okay, so I just use it. Isn’t it beautiful? From spring, the sound of water makes a difference when guests come. I used to love Moroccan style when I was passionate. Now Moroccan tiles are not expensive, but back then they weren’t available. I bought something similar at a high price, and then later, they came out cheap. It became a trend.”
Kim Nam-joo also talked about living in a house, saying, “Honestly, it’s not easy. I can do it because I like it. Our house lives with mice and cockroaches. That’s just how it is with houses,” revealing her realistic struggles.
She continued, “One day, my husband dropped a piece of hamburger while eating, and a baby mouse came to eat that piece. Since then, I never spill food.”
Kim Nam-joo stated, “This house means a lot to me. There are uncomfortable parts because it’s old, but I’m satisfied because I can enjoy the garden. On days when I don’t have work, I don’t go outside and spend time in the garden.” She added, “My pride is in the old things. The house is like that, and most of the staff I work with have been with me for over 20 years. My manager is approaching 30 years. I’m happy to be able to work together for a long time.”
Kim Nam-joo married Kim Seung-woo in 2005 and has one son and one daughter. On the 22nd, she made headlines by revealing her home where she has lived with her family for 20 years for the first time on SBS Life’s ‘Queen of Taste, Kim Nam-joo’. At the same time, she opened a YouTube channel to communicate with her fans.
