Rep. Lee Jun-seok of the Reform Party, who previously led the People Power Party (PPP) as chairman, will give a tour of his private residence on a TV show for the first time.
Now representing Dongtan District in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, the 40-year-old conservative politician will reveal his home as he appears on an episode of MBN's variety show "Let's Go" Season 2 as a special guest.
In the teaser video distributed by the show, Lee is shown making jokes with the show's hosts, including former national soccer player Ahn Jung-hwan, comedian Hong Hyun-hee and actor Kim Ga-yeon.
The hosts warmly greeted Lee and were surprised by his youthful appearance. Ahn Jung-hwan complimented Lee, saying he has the "image of a young man." Slightly embarrassed, Lee responded, "But I'm 40 years old."
The residence where Lee currently resides appears to be the Hoban Summit Dongtan, as seen in the teaser images, viewers said. Local internet community members in Dongtan District also posted photos of the politician filming the show with the cast.
The episode will air on Saturday at 8:20 p.m. on MBN.
