On the 12th, Sung-hwan opened his mouth on MBC 'I Live Alone' controversy over the building owner' that arose after the broadcast of MBC 'I Live Alone'
Previously broadcast on the 8th, in 'I Live Alone', it was revealed that Sung Kyu-hwan confessed to the leak damage caused by torrential downpours and even repaired the rooftop waterproof work and the main room wallpaper himself. After the broadcast, some netizens expressed doubts about the appearance of Sung-hwan, who is living in monthly rent, repairing the house himself.
Regarding this, Sung Won-hwan said, "'Why are you leaving the roof epoxy work to the landlord? Why are you leaving the wallpapers to the landlord?'" Sung Won-hwan said. "Whenever the broadcast comes out, I have several buildings' I'll say it for the first time and last time today because of the constant controversy over my back. This building is the father's building."
He received a gift around the year of 2020. Of course, he paid all the gift taxes. I didn't know it would be this big because it was ambiguous to talk about my personal history on the show, but I didn't know it would be this big," he confessed. 'Pretend to be poor' is the most absurd part of some points. I've never pretended to be poor in any broadcast. Why are you pretending to be poor. While filming, I spent my time writing things, eating and enjoying my meal, and staying happy. I never pretended to be poor."

Sung-hwan, who manages the building himself due to his father's poor health, said, `It is said that there are several buildings, but with the money my father earned from working all his life, I turned the family house I was born into into a villa", he explained. In the meantime, "I received the gift in advance because my father was not feeling well, and I am paying the monthly rent regularly."The controversy grew because of what I said vaguely, and I'm sorry about that part. However, I didn't do it on purpose, but I just didn't talk about my personal history or money because I was embarrassed, so please don't misunderstand me."
Although Koo Sung-hwan explained himself, complaining of unfairness to the criticism that 'Poor Cosplay', some netizens expressed regret by referring to his past remarks. In an interview with a media outlet in June last year, he responded to the rumor that 'Building Owners'Thank you for creating the image of the building owner and the image of the rich, but I don't know where it came from. I'm in the position of paying rent exactly. I think he took it that way because it was connected to the 5th-floor rooftop, but I'm neither a building owner nor a rich man. I hope such rumors don't spread," he once said.
In response, some expressed regret by mentioning that Koo Sung-hwan dismissed the fact that 'Builders' as a rumor and emphasized the image of 'Monthly Living'. Netizens say that it would not have been a problem if it had been disclosed when the rumor of the building owner first spread, but it is also true that Sung-hwan lied. Isn't lying the beginning of the controversy?" showed a reaction of the back.
