South Korean actor Ha Suk Jin recently gave fans a personal look at his childhood by sharing a video tour of his family’s luxurious home in Seocho-dong, Seoul. The video was posted on September 5, 2025, on his YouTube channel. In the video, Ha Suk Jin explained that he was checking on the house for his mother, who currently lives there and was overseas in Germany at the time.
The actor mentioned that the house holds significant memories for him, as it is where he grew up and lived until moving out. He also revealed that last year, while his mother was abroad, a water pipe burst and flooded the house, leading to him living with her for five to six months unexpectedly. To prevent similar incidents, his mother now asks him to periodically check the property.
Inside the Luxurious Home
Ha Suk Jin guided viewers through various parts of the house, highlighting its elegant and antique interior design. He described the style as having a French and European sensibility, with features like wallpapers, chandeliers, and a fireplace. One of the standout elements was the artwork by renowned Korean painter Heo Geon, which has been in the house since Ha Suk Jin was very young. When the filming crew suggested that the painting might be valuable if appraised, the actor acknowledged its long-standing presence but did not confirm its current worth.
The home also includes a basement area, which Ha Suk Jin compared to the setting of the movie Parasite, mentioning that it contains parking spaces and additional rooms. However, he noted that his mother preferred not to disclose too much of that area. The actor also showed the high-tech refrigerator, which contained absinthe liquor, a drink he mentioned he had bought for its strength, though it was too strong for his mother.
Childhood Memories and Classical Music
During the tour, Ha Suk Jin shared nostalgic memories from his childhood. He pointed out old music CDs, recalling how he listened to classical music by Beethoven, Brahms, or Karajan every Sunday morning while eating breakfast. He mentioned that these memories left a lasting impression, and he still associates classical music with those Sunday mornings. The living room, filled with his mother’s antique tastes, served as the backdrop for these memories.
The actor also humorously noted that his former room is now used by his mother, and due to her earnest request, he did not disclose its current state. He mentioned that his Liverpool red blanket was once a feature of the room, but no traces of his past remain there now.
