Bae Da-hae’s latest update after moving in with her 100-year-old step-grandfather… “Living in a single-room (jeokbang)”

Singer Bae Da-hae has shared a glimpse of her life after moving in with her 100-year-old great-grandfather-in-law.

On the 26th, Bae Da-hae posted photos on her Instagram with the caption, “My grandfather’s same breakfast menu every day.” The photos showed a breakfast spread consisting of boiled eggs, fruit, salad, sweet potatoes, and more. Bae Da-hae said, “I thought it might be his secret to longevity, so I made the same meal for myself while preparing his, but I can’t do it. Especially the vegetables I blend and drink.”

Earlier, Bae Da-hae announced on her YouTube channel that she had “a new roommate,” sharing the news that she and her 100-year-old great-grandfather-in-law were moving in together. This arrangement meant the couple moved into the house where the great-grandfather-in-law had lived alone for nearly 30 to 40 years. Bae Da-hae said, “We were worried about him being alone at night, so after discussing it with our family, we naturally decided to live together.”

The layout of the space also drew attention. Bae Da-hae said, “My grandfather uses the two large rooms, and we use the three small rooms. We’re living in tiny rooms,” and added that some remodeling had been done before the move.

The great-grandfather-in-law is said to remain in good health despite being 100 years old. Not only is his hearing sharp, but he is also skilled at using devices well enough to call a Kakao Taxi directly on his smartphone. Although he sometimes uses a wheelchair because his knees are uncomfortable, he spends his daily life with the couple, including going to movies and dining out. Bae Da-hae said, “I really admire how he maintains a regular diet and routine every day.”

Her husband, Lee Jang-won, is also reported to have personally taken care of his great-grandfather-in-law’s hospital visits and meals as the eldest grandson. Bae Da-hae explained, “A care system was already in place, but now it has become a form of sharing the living space itself.” She added, “At first it felt awkward, but little by little we are adapting to each other’s daily lives.”
