In the recent KBS 2TV show “Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant,” Kim Jae Joong returned to visit his parents after a busy half year of work.
On this occasion, he also introduced the villa he built for his parents. He took care of it himself from start to finish.
The male singer confided that although the process was very difficult, his dream was to provide his parents with a big and beautiful house after he achieved financial stability.
The house is estimated to be worth around 6 billion won (over 110 billion VND). It is so spacious and magnificent that it reminds people of the tycoon's villa in the movie " Parasite ".
This is a 4-storey villa, including a basement with a spacious garage. The first floor has a spacious 1.7m high ceiling. There is also a main kitchen and a secondary kitchen, as well as a backyard perfect for barbecues.
Because Jae Joong's parents are old, he pays great attention to designing the details and interior of the house to be as convenient as possible.
The house has an elevator for his parents to move around easily, and each floor has an alarm. In addition, the house has a large bathtub and a sauna for his parents to enjoy right at home. The kitchen is also designed to suit his mother's height.
Also on the show, the affection between Kim Jae Joong and his parents was once again shown. The male singer shared an emotional moment about his fears regarding his father's health.
At that time, his father was diagnosed with lung cancer and needed urgent surgery. Kim Jae Joong quickly searched for a hospital where his father could undergo surgery as soon as possible. Thanks to Jae Joong's efforts, his father was able to undergo surgery in time.
Kim Jae Joong said, “Every time I see my parents, they say, ‘If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be here now.’ It took a lot of time and money to treat my dad, including major surgeries. I always tell them not to say things like that, but honestly, hearing that I helped them get healthy makes me extremely proud.”
The singer added that he decided to move his parents to a new, greener town, believing that it would improve their health and quality of life. Kim Jae Joong also shared emotionally that he only recently started holding his father's hand, when he was in his 30s.
Kim Jae Joong lives in a family with 8 sisters (he is the 9th son). He was adopted by his parents at the age of 3. But it was not until he was 20 that Jae Joong learned that he was adopted.
Currently, his extended family has 32 members, including his brothers-in-law and children. But everyone still loves each other very much.
Thanks to the love of his parents and sisters, Kim Jae Joong overcame difficulties to become a famous Kpop idol .
He debuted in 2003 as a member of SM Entertainment's legendary boy group DBSK.
In 2009, Jae Joong, along with two members Park Yoo Chun and Kim Jun Su, filed a lawsuit against SM due to harsh contracts. They then separated from DBSK and formed a new group called JYJ.
According to Korean media, Kim Jae Joong is the richest Kpop idol in the Korean singer world, possibly second only to Park Jin Young - President of JYP Entertainment. Kim Jae Joong's net worth is estimated at around 100 million USD.
