I kind of feel bad for Lee Hyo-ri and her husband that they had to sell their her house on Jeju, but you would have thought that they would have seen this coming after agreeing to make the show:

Singer Lee Hyo-ri’s slow life on Jeju Island with her musician husband Lee Sang-soon has been ruined by break-ins, curious tourists and pranksters.
In response, the couple has sold their home that served as the location for reality show “Hyori’s Homestay” to the cable network that made the program.
JTBC said it bought it over fears the program’s image would be damaged if it were sold to a third party.
“There is a possibility that the content image of ‘Hyori’s Homestay’ could be ruined if it was used for commercial purposes such as an open facility,” JTBC said.
Even before “Hyori’s Homestay” was aired, the couple was the target of excessive public attention. But the program made it worse.
“There were those who knocked on the door of the couple’s home and even trespassed inside,” the channel said. “This kind of privacy violation issue was at a level beyond the expected range.”
“Hyori’s Homestay” started last year. The second season ran from February to May. [Korea Times]
The show is actually available on Netflix and I thought it was pretty entertaining. I really liked her husband Lee Sang-soon who seemed like a pretty cool person to hang out with. I thought their home and surrounding property was quite nice, but it only had a chain link fence around it that anyone could jump over. I remember watching the show thinking that they were going to have stupid people jump over that fence and trespass on their property. Sure enough that is what happened and now they had to sell their house because of it.
So does anyone disagree with the rankings on this list?:
Honey Lee
Playboy has picked 11 hottest Korean women, with Miss Korea-turned-actress Lee Ha-nui topping the list.
Social consumer website Ranker listed the 11 Korean celebrities based on 1,300 online votes.
Lee, better known as Honey Lee, made her debut when she won the 2006 Miss Korea beauty contest. She has since been regarded in the nation’s sexiest icon.
Lee has also starred in several movies, including “Tazza: The Hidden Card,” which was released last year.
Sexy diva Lee Hyo-ri took second place. Since debuting as a member of pop girl group Fin. K.L. in 1998, she has gained nationwide popularity as one of the hottest singers. But she has kept a low profile after marrying in 2013.
Actress Kim Sa-rang third. She is famous for starring in the drama “Secret Garden.” [Korea Times]
