Actor Lim Hyung-jun expresses regret over having sold his first home, which is now valued at more than 2 billion won.

On the 23rd episode of MBC's variety program "Help! Homes" (directed by Jung Da-hee, Nam Yu-jeong, Jang Hyo-jong, Kim Yu-jin, hereinafter "Homes"), with Seoul's average apartment transaction price surpassing 1.5 billion won, the cast sets out to find apartments in the 200th million won range in central Seoul.

For this location visit, "Seoul native" actor Lim Hyung-jun joins fellow actors Jung Yi-rang and comedian Kim Sook, who has lived in Seoul for a long time.

The three head to Hannam-dong, an area densely packed with high-end villas and apartments well-known by name alone. Before touring single-digit priced properties located at Hannam Intersection, they first visit a renowned dried pollock soup restaurant just a two-minute walk from the property.

Kim Sook and Lim Hyung-jun discuss how their first homes, purchased in the 200th–300 million won range, are now valued well over 2 billion won, expressing regret over having sold them. In particular, Lim Hyung-jun confesses that he visits his former Seoul apartment from his appearance on the past MBC variety program "Only Tonight" whenever he misses it.

Next, they search for an apartment in the "N hundred million won range" offering a lifestyle comparable to upscale residential areas like Han Nam-dong-ui (CEO). Recognized as one of Seoul's representative old-style apartments, its spacious and well-structured layout draws admiration from the cast.

Viewing photos of Dankook University when it was located in Hannam-dong and past sales advertisements, they examine the real estate atmosphere of Hannam-dong at that time. As Lim Hyung-jun and Jung Yi-rang read through a sales advertisement, they humorously act out a newlywed couple living in the apartment during the 1970s using Seoul dialect, bringing laughter to the set.

Finally, an apartment located just one minute from Dongmyo Station is introduced, an area that has recently seen a surge in young visitors due to trends like "Wakpoo" and "Slang." This location served as the inspiration for the animated series "Shinbi Apartment" and also appeared as the "Celebrity Apartment" on the past MBC variety program "Infinite Challenge," making it an iconic space designated as a Seoul Future Heritage.

Known as the filming location for BTS's music video "I NEED U," this apartment features Korea's first central courtyard-style structure, preserving its vintage charm entirely and sure to capture attention. The episode airs on the 23rd at 10 p.m.
