Comedian Lee Sun-min is set to appear on MBC's I Live Alone, serving up a brutally relatable look at her solo-living routine. After stealing the spotlight on multiple variety shows, the breakout star will reveal 19 years of hard-earned single-life know‑how in the upcoming episode.
On the May 22 broadcast of I Live Alone, Lee's single life will be featured in the 'Rainbow Live' segment. Since moving to Seoul at 21, she's racked up 19 years of living alone across a boarding house, gosiwon (a tiny study dorm), one-room studios, rooftop rooms, and semi-basement units—plus an eye-popping 10 moves. Drawing on that experience, she introduces a home optimized to her personal lifestyle.
Inside, a jumbo drying rack, a Christmas tree that stays up year-round, a lineup of supplements, and an overflow of clothes immediately catch the eye. Her fridge is packed with ingredients of every kind, hinting at her no-waste, practical way of living.
Putting leftover ingredients to work, Lee whips up breakfast and showcases the essence of her 'god-tier value-for-money life.' She multitasks like a pro—simmering broth, prepping veggies, then stir-frying—to finish cooking with deft, seasoned hands. "I try to use every last scrap to cut down on food waste," she shares, laying out her personal philosophy.
After the meal, she powers through dessert and dishes without missing a beat, underscoring just how busy her day-to-day really is. Even the tiny habits—like squeezing every drop out of her cosmetics—highlight her thrifty mindset, promising both laughs and major relatability.
Previously on Hangout with Yoo, Lee made headlines as a 1988-liner with a surprisingly 'older-looking' visual—not baby-faced—but won viewers over with her upbeat charm. Expect her signature, down-to-earth humor to shine again this week.
