Anchor Kim Joo-ha made a tearful face due to the sale of vacant shopping malls.
The MBN entertainment program "Kim Joo-ha's Day & Night," which aired on the afternoon of the 11th, featured writer Song Hee-koo, the original author of the JTBC drama "The Story of Director Kim, who works at a large company in Seoul."
On the same day, Kim Joo-ha asked writer Song, "How long did it take to get a house?"
Song said, "It took about 15 years. Until about three years ago, I only lived on monthly rent. I think it is efficient only when the amount of money I am laying out is small," he said.
"When I first started my honeymoon in Suwon, I started with a deposit of 50 million won and a monthly rent of 450,000 won. The rest of the money was used for investment in higher-level areas. "I thought it would be better to live at a low monthly rent instead of renting a large sum of money," he explained.

In response, Kim Joo-ha asked, "What real estate investments do people regret the most?" and writer Song said, "It's a vacant shopping mall sale. This is really fatal," he said immediately.
Kim Joo-ha bowed his head and said, "I did it too. It's been more than 10 years, and the price still doesn't go up," he said, confessing to the sale of vacant shops.
Writer Song lamented Kim Joo-ha and said, "The shopping mall has a strong maintenance cost," and Kim Joo-ha said, "That's right. We also have to pay for maintenance," he said.
When Kim Joo-ha expressed curiosity, "Isn't it a good shopping mall that doesn't have any vacancy, it could be an officetel?" writer Song said, "It could be." However, that should be weighed more carefully. We need to see how many households are behind the scenes and how much the shopping mall supplies are," he stressed.
"Usually, if the household behind it is 3,000 households, only about 30 shopping malls are good. Only 10% is going to work well," he explained.
In response, Kim Joo-ha was frustrated and said, "That's where I invested. There were a lot of households and shopping malls because it was near the university. The problem is that there are many such shopping malls, so even though it was on the first floor, there were too many vacancies, which caused regret.
