Comedian Lee Guk-joo openly shared her experience of living alone and studying abroad in Japan.
Recently, a video was uploaded on Lee Guk-joo's YouTube channel showcasing her daily life in Japan. In the video, she shares her experience of visiting a supermarket to personally buy a washing machine, revealing the tough reality of living alone.
Lee Guk-joo amusingly said, "I thought washing my comforter would be easy at a laundromat, but washing even one piece of underwear turned out to be really tough." She continued, "Before it gets any later, I decided to buy a washing machine since I have to get one anyway," explaining that she chose a model capable of spin-drying that cost around 30,000 yen (approximately 284,100 won) based on practicality.
She added, "For a washing machine, it just needs to wash well, regardless of its shape or performance. I went straight to the supermarket as soon as I arrived from Korea."
Moreover, Lee Guk-joo mentioned the difficulties caused by language barriers. She said, "I understand the grammar, but thinking that I have to speak quickly makes me rush, and then it doesn't go well. Since I can't communicate in the language, I can't make jokes either," drawing laughter from the audience.
Currently, Lee Guk-joo is living between Korea and Japan. Earlier, in April, she started living alone in a studio apartment in Tokyo. At that time, she explained her reason for going to Japan, saying, "It seems like it's been a while since I've lived without any challenges, so I thought about doing something. Even if I fail, I think it will be a good experience."
