1. [+15,983, -193] "How many rooms do you have in your home?" "I haven't counted them yet" Is Key suffering from some middle school tryhard disease? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+8,613, -87] Change the title of the show to 'I Live Wealthily Alone' ㅋ I'm tired of shows about brainless celebrities showing off their money or mukbangs, tsk.

3. [+4,444, -48] The old cast used to make the show fun but now it's all about celebrities coming on to show off or advertise something.. did we get a new PD or something??

4. [+3,785, -74] I get that they're celebrities... but when the rest of us are all struggling to live, when the youth are seeing a future where they could work for the rest of their lives and still not be able to afford their own homes.. it sucks seeing celebrities act like this. ㅠㅠ I alway wonder if I'm the only one thinking this, that I should work on my self esteem and wake up.. but I guess reading this article makes me realize that everyone else is thinking it too ㅠㅠ I actually feel consoled by that.

5. [+3,083, -387] I immediately change the channel when I see SHINee Key, JO Kwon, Kim Ho Young, or Hong Seok Chun

6. [+1,682, -12] No more shows about celebrity homes

7. [+1,587, -9] Now that I'm over 30, I can see why the adults always preferred watching documentaries and wholesome slice of life shows over varieties. Varieties are aull of show offs, tryhards, fakes... I now prefer to hear the simple news of what my neighbors are up to... 

8. [+1,422, -26] 'I Live Alone' was only good up till Kian and Kim Kwang Kyu

9. [+1,034, -10] I liked 'I Live Alone' when they showed celebrities like Kian or Lee Shi Eon living in studios. I never related to shows where celebrities came on to pretend to worry about childcare when they all use nannies and maids anyway. There are so many parents in the world who are worrying about putting food on the table. I just can't relate to the concerns of celebrities.

10. [+948, -10] I think 'I Live Alone' should've been left to the days of Kim Kwang Kyu, Yook Joong Wan, Defconn... because they seemed like you and I, just humans living their lives. Now the show has devolved into some celebrity advertisement. I'd prefer if they brought on small time actors or singer trainees and showed what it took to chase their dreams, the part-time jobs they have to work.
