[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Italian broadcaster Alberto Mondi said, "In the Italian countryside, you can buy a house for 1 euro."

On the 27th, JTBC variety show 'Love of 7.7 Billion' featured Alberto along with trot singers Lim Young-woong and Youngtak.

During the broadcast, one story contributor mentioned struggling to prepare a newlywed home due to Korea's high housing prices.

In response, Shin Dong-yup said Seoul ranks 4th among cities with expensive housing prices and asked how much houses cost in various countries.

American participant Joseph said, "In North Carolina, USA, you can buy a two-story house for 200 million won."

Russian participant Angelina stated, "Moscow is the most expensive in Russia, but with 400 million won, you can buy a 240-pyeong mansion."

Alberto then said, "Milan is the most expensive in Italy, and in the small town of Sicily where I lived, you can buy a two-story 50-pyeong villa for 400 million won."

He added, "Going further into the countryside, houses were sold for 1 euro. They were all old houses, but the condition was that you had to live there yourself or renovate it to use as lodging. So, it was very popular at one time."

Japanese participant Misuki said, "The most expensive area for housing prices is Tokyo, and among them, the most expensive place costs 70 million won per pyeong."

British participant Ancode also said, "London is famous for expensive housing prices, right? Some people buy houses in Barcelona, Spain, and commute to London."

He continued, "In areas like Chelsea and Kensington, you can buy a single parking space for 400 million won."
