Kim Kwang-kyu reveals first Seoul apartment purchase in 28 years

Actor Kim Kwang-kyu disclosed on MBC's "Hangout with Yoo" on the 31st of last month that he recently purchased an older apartment in Yeonhui-dong, Seoul, marking his first home purchase in the city in 28 years.

Actor Kim Kwang-kyu revealed that he has secured a home in Seoul after 28 years. During the broadcast of MBC's "Hangout with Yoo" on the 31st of last month, he disclosed that he recently purchased an older apartment in Yeonhui-dong, Seoul, remarking, "It took 28 years to buy a house in Seoul."

Kim Kwang-kyu identified opening a noodle shop as his new goal. Unable to forget the taste of a banquet noodle shop that disappeared due to redevelopment, he stated, "I thought about learning the recipe and perhaps running a small noodle shop later." During the broadcast, Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Heo Kyung-hwan, and Joo Woo-jae acted as one-day managers for Kim Kwang-kyu as they searched for the nostalgic noodle shop together.

During a jokgu match, Kim Kwang-kyu, Heo Kyung-hwan, and Joo Woo-jae formed the team "AZ2O" to parody a performance by the girl group A2O LITE. Performing under the name "Neon Kwang-kyu," Kim Kwang-kyu presented a stage with minimal movement.

According to Nielsen Korea, the broadcast ranked first among Saturday variety shows in both household ratings in the Seoul metropolitan area at 4.1% and ratings for the 20–54 age group at 2.7%. The highest rating per minute was 5.6%, occurring during the scene where Kim Kwang-kyu, having failed to find the noodle shop, asked, "Can't I come out every week until I find it?"

In the next broadcast, those who passed the preliminary rounds of the 1995 Seoul Song Festival will appear to perform. "Hangout with Yoo" first aired in 2019 and broadcasts every Saturday at 6:30 PM on MBC.
