Actor Cho Sung-hwan explained the recent issues of 'Poor Cosplay' and 'Suspicion of Building Owners'.

Sung Won-hwan said on his YouTube channel 'With Sung-hwan' on the 12th that many people gave me a DM after the broadcast, but why do I do it myself instead of the rooftop construction and wallpaper? I'll tell you everything. This is the first and last answerposted a video titled '

"Every time the broadcast went out, there was constant talk about who the building owner was and how many buildings he had. Today's video is the first and the last thing I'm telling you…" he said.




Then "This building is my father's building, and I received half of it from my father between 2020 and 2022. We have paid all the gift taxes as well."

He said "My father is a national merit, and after receiving brain gamma treatment, he suddenly developed symptoms of dementia. As my health deteriorated, I was in charge of managing the rooftop. "This house is a converted family house that I have lived in since I was a child into a villa. "

Also "I've never pretended to be poor on the show. The total floor space of the house is 18 pyeong and 20 pyeong including the outside. I'm having fun while filming," he stressed.




In the meantime, "The reason why I've moved on so vaguely was because it was embarrassing to talk about personal history or property. I didn't hide it on purpose. "Please don't talk about the owner of the building anymore. I pay my father monthly rent every day," he said.

Earlier, on MBC's entertainment show 「I Live Alone」, which aired on the 8th, Koo Sung-hwan revealed the leakage damage caused by heavy rain, and proceeded with rooftop waterproofing and plastering. At that time, some viewers raised questions about whether the building owner was a building owner along with the reason for repairing it himself instead of leaving it to the landlord.

Four days later, on the 12th, the monthly magazine Women's Sense reported that the owners of the top floor of the villa in Cheonho-dong, Seoul, where Sung-hwan resides, and the owners of the six households below are all Sung-hwan, and as tenants, they are landlords who receive monthly rent rather than paying monthly rent, which led to controversy over whether Sung-hwan hid the fact that he owned the building and pretended to be poor.
