I Live

Alone

ctor Yoo Ah In showed off his home for the first time ever on “Home Alone” (“I Live Alone”)!

On the June 19 broadcast of MBC’s “Home Alone,” Yoo Ah In took viewers on a tour of his home and shared a glimpse into his everyday life.

While the cast showed immediate surprise at his spacious bedroom, they shared even more surprise that he wore very thick glasses. He explained, “My eyes are really bad. These lenses have been compressed three times.”

In his interview, he very slowly introduced himself, saying, “Hello. I’m Yoo Ah In, who has probably been living by myself for 15 years.” He explained his hesitance, sharing, “I’m a really careful person.”

Yoo Ah In commented, “I moved from Daegu and lived with my manager. When I became an adult, I began living on my own, but I moved every year. I moved around 10 times but I moved to this house five years ago. The driving force of my life has been gradually tending to my home.”

In addition to his spacious bedroom, the rest of Yoo Ah In’s house kept the cast members in shock for its luxurious vibe and sleek interior.

His three-floor house features a spacious living and dining room, a modern kitchen, a glass wine room, and a small garden on the first floor alone.

The actor commented, “The concept is a bit of everything. It reflects my preferences from time to time.”

The unique decorations and art pieces had cast members commenting, “It looks like a gallery.”

On the second floor is his main work space where he also has a bathroom dedicated to his cats. The third floor includes his bedroom, bathroom, and closet.

Given that his house is so tall, Yoo Ah In made everyone laugh by stating, “My knees have gotten really bad by going up and down these stairs for five years.” Going up even more stairs, he also showed off his small rooftop space where he shared that he does a lot of thinking.

Yoo Ah In also introduced his pet cats Dobi and Jangbi. While watching himself play with

his pets, the actor commented, “It’s strange to watch myself like this. It’s strange that I’m being so caring.”

He explained, “Before I met my cats, I had never even touched one. I used to only think of myself and I didn’t want to feel irresponsible or guilty so I just didn’t make instances where I needed to take responsibility.”

Later, Yoo Ah In took even more stairs to get to his basement parking garage before heading out to exercise.

He shared, “This is an exercise I started recently. It became famous because Doctor Strange does it.” After watching the actor begin his exercise lying down, Lee Si Eon commented, “If this is the exercise, I could do it everyday.” Yoo Ah In explained, “It’s not as easy as it looks. We typically do a lot of

forceful exercise using our body. But out of all the workouts I’ve tried, staying still is the hardest,” revealing that the exercise entails him to stay still for nearly an hour.

The exercise is aimed to relieve his anxiety, of which he spoke about in reference to award shows. Yoo Ah In remarked, “I felt nervous and sensitive at award shows. I’ve been receiving a lot of help mentally too.”

He continued, “After going on stages that aren’t meant for people my age and receiving awards that aren’t meant for me, I became wary of my senior actors and viewers. I felt like I was going to get in trouble and didn’t feel like I was the main character.”

Following his exercise, Yoo Ah In went home to make dinner. As the actor repeatedly looked like he was staring into space, the cast

members remarked, “You look like you’re going to cry” and “Aren’t you lonely?”

Yoo Ah In expressed his pride in his ability to cook as he hilariously shared, “Should I say I try to create a certain flavor? It’s because I cook in the style of Dae Jang Geum,” referring to the popular 2003 drama “Jewel in the Palace” which is known for its depiction of traditional Korean cooking.

He confidently asked the cast, “Have you ever tried my braised beef short ribs?”

Son Dam Bi revealed that she had, confirming that they tasted very good.

However, while he was cooking, he stopped to give his cats a bath. He explained, “There’s a time of day where they’re comparably more calm. Sphinx get a lot of oil stuck in their skin so I bathe them often,” showing off his bathroom and tub dedicated to his pets. Yoo Ah In adorably expressed his care for his cats saying, “I feel guilty because it feels like I’m restraining them forcefully when they don’t like it.”

Once he got back to cooking, Yoo Ah In made noodles with whelks, zucchini pancakes, and nurungji (scorched rice soup) paired with beer to fit the rainy weather.

Watching him eat all alone, Park Na Rae asked, “I don’t think you’d be lonely, but are you lonely?” Yoo Ah In responded, “I’ve lived alone since I was in my teens, so I obviously used to get very lonely. Since I was living away from home, I would get very lonely in the past but now I try not to focus on those emotions.”

Yoo Ah In also picked his role as Sun Jae in the drama “Secret Love Affair” as his favorite role. He shared, “He was a character who really embodied purity.

Someone with the purest perspective and attitude on life. He was the most similar to me. There was no need for me to even act.”

After eating, Yoo Ah In began to get ready for a late-night stroll. The actor explained, “I go for a walk by my house around one to two times a week. I especially enjoy them on rainy days. Even though

it’s not super late at night, there aren’t people around. I walk around feeling like this mountain is my own.”

When he returned from his walk, he immediately began organizing his shoes, saying, “I have a ton of shoes but I really only wear one or two pairs. Since I’m preparing to move anyway, I want to organize them. I’m not throwing them all out, but I’m preparing to open a flea market.” Although he couldn’t this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, Yoo Ah In revealed that he opens a flea market

every year on May 5, even asking Park Na Rae to join him sometime as she has opened them in the past as well.

Halfway through organizing his shoes, Yoo Ah In surprisingly began to meditate, confusing the cast members. They commented that he starts many activities but doesn’t ever seem to finish anything, to which he replied, “Does there always have to be an end? You don’t always have to finish. Life moves forward.”

Hearing his response, Lee Si Eon jokingly commented, “What is he talking about?” Park Na Rae hilariously added, “This is a type of bluffing we’ve never seen before.”

Later in the night, Yoo Ah In wrote a diary entry on his phone. He wrote down thoughts such as, “Although I only have one body, why did I need so many clothes?” “No matter how high you aim to go, it’s not like you can fly, so what are you going to do?”

“In the past, having a full shoe rack make me feel rich. Now, I don’t feel that way at all.” He explained, “Stuff like that feels like shackles to me. I’ve been trying to determine

how to clear out and share, as well as decide what I need to pursue.”

Yoo Ah In also began watching the film “I Am Love” on 0.5x speed, saying, “This is a film I’ve seen so many times. I like to watch the cast’s good acting slowly. I’m not taking in the film but rather watching the scenes I want to see again as if they were drawings.”

Regarding the long time period he has lived by himself, Yoo Ah In remarked, “I felt like I had lost my will to live. You need a goal to generate that will. It felt like I didn’t really want to go anywhere. I think I’ve come to the point where I can tell myself, ‘It’s okay.’”

After watching himself on screen in his daily life rather than as an actor, he commented, “Although there were many disgusting moments, I received a lot of help watching this. You have to look in the mirror to see your mistakes. I learned that I breathe very heavily in my everyday life and although the title is ‘Home Alone,’ I’m glad that it felt like I was able to share the feeling of living together.”

Cute Cafes for your first date

Located along Mangnidan-gil in the Mangwon neighborhood, a pink vending machine hides the entrance to this cafĂŠ. The unique door has helped this spot rise to popularity, as evidenced by the many pictures on Instagram. However, not to be upstaged is the interior and sweet treats. Decorated in shades of pink with bright neon signs, the cafĂŠ creates a beautiful backdrop for photos of the fantastic desserts. The signature menus include the mermaid tin cake and unicorn crepe.

Zapangi Cafe

Stylenanda Pink Hotel

For all things pink and lovely, you have to check out Stylenanda Pink Hotel in the shopping district of Myeong-dong. The flagship store of the women’s fashion brand, Stylenanda, is designed like a hotel, with different rooms selling clothing and 3CE beauty products, and a café designed like the hotel swimming pool.

The entire shop photographs beautifully, but the most popular spots are the flower-filled bathtub on the second floor and the Pink Pool Café on the fifth floor.

Garosu-gil Road in Sinsa-dong is the epicenter of all things lovely in Seoul, and no place shows that better than the Sinsa branch of Dore Dore. Located within a renovated house, the pastel tones and metallic pink accents attract many people. However, the real reason people visit Dore Dore is for the dreamy cakes.

If you’re just going to order one cake, be sure to get the Precious Rainbow Cake.

The vibrantly colored cake layers will brighten your day and your Instagram!

Dore Dore

Avec El Avec El is French for “with her,” and the sweet interior decorated with lovely items is just as romantic as the name implies.

One’s heart can’t help but be moved by the items of daily life that might decorate any home, from the hand-made candles to the air fresheners and tea cups. All of the items on display within the café are available for purchase. Despite being a rather small café, each table has plenty of space to enjoy a comfortable and laid-back time.

The focus at Avec El is on apples; a plate of freshly sliced apple comes with each order. The ringo latte which can only be found here is a perfect blend of apple and milk.

Summer forest toast, a specialty of Avec El, features jam made from Jeju green tea powder and fresh peaches, red bean paste, and gourmet butter. The earl grey chiffon cake is also extremely popular, releasing a strong scent of tea that is sure to boost one’s mood for the entire day.

Cafe Skon

Situated within a villa, Cafe SkÜn is furnished with clean white walls punctuated with pops of color. The cafe’s most iconic dessert is its lemon cake, packaged in a huge candy wrapper. Pair the soft cake coated in sweet sugar frosting with its chocolate and walnut cookie.
