South Korean actress Uhm Ji-won has moved out of her penthouse apartment in Yongsan, Seoul. The actress shared details of her relocation in a YouTube video uploaded on July 20th, titled ‘Goodbye Yongsan! I’m really moving. From moving preparations to the first day in my new home, V-log’.
Uhm Ji-won’s Moving Experience
In the video, Uhm Ji-won described the challenges of moving during the hot summer season. “It seems like this is the end of the view from here,” she stated, appearing tired from packing her belongings overnight. She reflected on her time in the apartment, noting that while she hadn’t lived there for an extended period, it was a convenient and pleasant neighborhood. “I didn’t live in this house for too long, so I don’t have strong attachments. There’s no particular regret or anything, it was just a convenient and nice neighborhood to live in,” she explained.
Uhm Ji-won expressed gratitude for being able to move during a relatively less busy period in her schedule. “I’m fortunate that I can move during the most relaxed season of the year,” she said. She revealed that her next project, a Netflix film, is scheduled to begin filming in August. “Starting in August, I’m going into filming for a movie. I’ll be filming a Netflix movie,” she announced.
The actress elaborated on the timing of her move, linking it to her upcoming professional commitments. “I thought I had to move and prepare well within this period to start my next project. But my leg was injured in the meantime, so it wasn’t the right timing to move. Everything seems to have its own timing in life,” she mused.
Background on Uhm Ji-won’s Residence
Reports indicate that Uhm Ji-won resided in the Yongsan penthouse for approximately one and a half years. Previously, rumors circulated about her owning a multi-billion won penthouse, which she addressed directly.
“The news reported it as a house worth tens of billions of won, but it’s not my house,” Uhm Ji-won clarified. “I am a renter,” she stated, debunking the speculation about her ownership of the luxurious property.
Uhm Ji-won’s Past Injury
The actress also recounted a severe leg injury she sustained in the past. While on vacation in Japan, she suffered a fracture due to a fall, which completely dislocated her bone. Despite experiencing extreme pain, where the bone pierced her flesh, she endured the pain for a day before returning to Korea to undergo surgery.
Currently, her leg has 18 steel pins embedded in it as a result of the severe injury. This past incident highlights the resilience she has shown in managing her health while pursuing her career.
