Kim Min-ji, a track and field athlete and broadcaster who gained recognition through Netflix's dating program 'Solitary House 5,' announced that she has decided to move after suffering from residence exposure.

On the 11th, Kim Min-ji uploaded a video titled "Why is this happening to me? I've decided to move" on her YouTube channel 'Kim Min-ji KIMMINGEE.'

In the video, Kim Min-ji revealed, "I'm facing a problem," and added, "I think I'll have to move again."

Kim Min-ji first mentioned a conflict with her landlord. She explained that three weeks after moving in, the shower drain became clogged, and she called a service company. Upon inspection, plastic fragments, coating paper, and lime deposits were found.

Kim Min-ji stated, "The drain service provider said, 'It doesn't seem to be the tenant's fault. Tell the landlord to handle the cost.' It was unlikely to be the tenant's fault, so they suggested requesting the landlord to cover the expense. However, the landlord refused, saying, 'I asked a lawyer, and it seems they have no obligation to pay. Didn't the tenant cause the clog?' Eventually, after Kim Min-ji's older sister protested, she received compensation for only half of the cost."

Kim Min-ji also learned during this process that her residence had been exposed on a real estate transaction platform.

Kim Min-ji said, "It wasn't even the real estate agent who handled my initial contract; another agency listed a different unit in the same office building as 'Same house as Solitary House's Kim Min-ji.' I requested they take it down, but the agent said they had no contact and would remove it the next day. It was truly chilling." She added that, with a lawyer's help, she was able to have the post deleted immediately.

Kim Min-ji also expressed her anxiety due to the residence exposure. She revealed that during a fire incident at her building's recycling area, she felt terrified when she saw a man recognize her, lift his phone, and appear to take a photo.

Kim Min-ji said, "The fire truck was there, so I couldn't enter the building. Residents came down, and a man recognized me and stared intently. He took a step forward and raised his phone suspiciously, so I thought he was taking a picture of me and ran. I hid behind a parked car, but he raised his phone again. My friends came and shielded me."

Kim Min-ji further stated, "The firefighter told me it was safe to enter, so I went in, but he followed me. We didn't take the elevator together. It seemed like he was checking which floor we were getting off on. I pressed any floor, got off early, and walked up the stairs to my home. No one lives on my floor except me. There's no CCTV in the hallway, so I feel quite scared and overwhelmed."

She continued, "If I hadn't had trouble with the landlord, I would have lived without knowing this. Worst case, someone with bad intentions could see this and harm me. Who would protect me? They enter the house when no one is home, get off the elevator before my floor, press any floor, and then leave."

Kim Min-ji also shared an anecdote about taking the elevator at 5 a.m. for the filming of SBS's variety show 'The Women Who Kick It,' where she encountered a delivery driver. She said, "The delivery driver recognized me, and I was so startled that I asked him not to tell anyone and to keep my residence a secret. I think I've developed some trauma. A home should be safe and comfortable, but I'm truly anxious right now."

Regarding her moving plans, Kim Min-ji said, "I'm considering moving to a completely different building. I haven't decided on a specific place yet; I'm looking at various options and plan to move into the one I like the most. When I go house hunting next time, I probably won't be able to show the neighborhood."
