Male Leads of Container Houses
The male leads associated with container houses include Park Shin Yang, Wu Xie, Richard, Mr. Gao, and Da Qiao. Here are the detailed introductions:
Park Shin Yang: A top South Korean actor who gained immense popularity across Asia for his role as "Chairman Han" in the drama "Lovers in Paris". Now, he lives in seclusion in a rural area of Andong, North Gyeongsang Province, in a renovated container house. The interior is filled with old wooden shelves, miscellaneous items, and paintings, creating a simple environment. He broke down in tears on a show, mentioning the key person who changed his life. Park Shin Yang has transitioned from acting to painting, enrolling in a master's program in fine arts at Andong National University in North Gyeongsang Province, where he systematically studied painting and held solo exhibitions and published art albums.
Wu Xie: The protagonist of the TV series "The Lost Tomb", whose residence is transformed from containers. The exterior features a creative combination of red, white, and blue. The general structure includes a red container on the first floor as the entrance hallway, a white container on the second floor as the study, a blue container on the third floor as the bedroom, and a regular house connected on the left serving as the living room and kitchen. The interior decoration style is fresh and minimalist, with the study equipped with a desk, bookshelves, and a balcony lounge chair, the living room featuring an old wooden sofa and carved figurines, and the bedroom exuding a Mediterranean ambiance.
Richard: An Australian "eligible bachelor" who gave up urban life and bought land to live in a remote forest and by a river. Due to financial constraints, he renovated his house using containers, collaborating with the "Warm Home" program team. The project cost less than 50,000 Australian dollars and took one to two weeks to complete. The house includes a bathroom, kitchen, sofa lounge area, and bedroom, with a design focusing on modernity and environmental protection.
Mr. Gao: Due to his neighbor converting dry land into paddy fields, causing his own house to sink and the walls to crack, for safety reasons, he and his daughter lived in two containers beside the house for more than a year. The facilities inside the containers are simple, with only a bed and desk in his daughter's container, and even more basic accommodations for Mr. Gao himself.
Da Qiao: A resident of Ontario who built a "container yacht" floating cabin using four containers. The first set of two containers serves as the home, complete with a kitchen and bathroom, as well as an outdoor deck area; the second set of two containers functions as the work area and garage. The cabin can be moved by a tugboat, combining originality and environmental friendliness.
