In preparation for this home live content, we asked Kim Dduddol five short questions about home and everyday life.

𝟏. What does 'home' mean to Kim Dduddol?

My identity, my innermost thoughts

𝟐. Your favorite space at home?

The living room with a full view of Yeonhui-dong. I often sit still and gaze at the scenery through the large windows.

𝟑. Is there something you do routinely each day?

Writing a journal and meditating in the morning. Through meditation, I feel that countless beings are always watching over and supporting me. This time, <Guest Star> also contains messages received from a being while in deep meditation.

𝟒. What did you learn or how have things changed since living independently?

Having a space that's entirely my own seems to make me a stronger person. Earning my own money and creating my own space is so much fun. I finally feel like I'm taking root in the ground. If I were a hanging plant before, now I'm like a rooted lemon eucalyptus tree. (I just came back from plant shopping!)

𝟓. Your experience with the co-living house Mangrove?

It was neat and comfortable. In the past, when I started living on my own, I was involved with a 'housing cooperative' aimed at resolving the housing instability of young people in their twenties. Looking back, it was an invaluable opportunity for me, who had a hard time even securing a deposit. I've heard that Mangrove also began as a business to provide spaces and services for single young adults to live healthy lives, and I found that quite comforting. I hope that the economic barrier lowers for new young professionals, and it would be great if the government could help young people living independently in such good housing environments.
