T-ara Hyomin's 10 Billion Won Home Causes Ratings Drop

Hyomin of T-ara revealed her 10 billion won marital home for the first time on broadcast. On the 3rd, KBS2's entertainment show 'New Release: Fun-staurant' aired its first episode after a schedule change, but recorded a viewership rating of 1.7%, a 1.2 percentage point drop from the previous week. This is about half of its highest rating this year, which was 4.0%.

On this day's broadcast, Hyomin of T-ara appeared as a NEW chef alongside Kim Jaejoong. Hyomin, a T-ara member who dominated the Asian market with hit songs like 'Bo Peep Bo Peep' and 'Roly Poly,' has also been active as a businesswoman recently. She married a finance industry professional, 10 years her senior, in April 2025, and her extravagant wedding ceremony at the time garnered much attention.

Among Hyomin's revealed daily life, her 10 billion won marital home was the most eye-catching. The marital home, revealed for the first time on broadcast, featured a Han River view terrace like a cafe and boasted a neat and modern interior. In particular, the bathroom, with everything from the toilet to the toilet paper in all black, captured attention.

The interior of the marital home was reportedly personally planned by Hyomin, the 'Planning Fairy.' Hyomin revealed that she plans and simulates everything in advance, even when cooking, including recipe order, counter and table placement, and plating. With such meticulous planning and her surprisingly high-level cooking skills, she foreshadowed the appearance of a 'super powerful chef.'

Hyomin, who holds a Japanese Cuisine Cookery Certificate, prepared a full Japanese course meal for her husband's first wedding anniversary party. She presented dishes ranging from an appetizer made with thinly sliced radish to filleted fish, sushi, soba, tempura, and a dessert using 'our beans.' Chef Lee Yeon-bok marveled at Hyomin's cooking skills, saying, "Fine dining chefs do it like this," and "A top-tier talent has arrived."
