Inside giant TOILET house built by bog-loving man who was born in a loo because his mum thought it was ‘lucky’
A MAN decided to live in a giant TOILET because he was born in one -as his mother believed it would bring him luck.
The bizarre house was built by the late mayor of Suwon, South Korea, Sim Jae-Duck, in 2007 and has baffled people ever since.
It is reported the mayor's mum gave birth to him in the toilet as she thought it brought happiness and success.
Sim Jae-Duck clearly took the superstition to a whole new level, and decided he would live his whole life in one.
The unusual house was named Haewoojae which means a "retreat where one could resolve one's life's problems".
'Mr Toilet' even founded the World Toilet Association - which despite it's odd name, helped more than 2.6billion people.

The organisation aimed to bring clean and efficient sanitation to those living without fully functioning bathrooms across the globe.
Sim Jae-Duck was so passionate about the cause, he wrote a book called Happy to be with you, Toilet!
The giant loo home, which replaced the mayor's previous house of 30 years, was designed by architect Go Gi-Wong.
It boasts 4,508sqft and Sim Jae-Duck forked out an eye-watering £1.6million to construct the two-storey property.

There are two bedrooms, living rooms and three bathrooms all kitted out with state of the art technology.
Unsurprisingly the toilets also come with the latest advancements, including automatically lifting and closing seat lids.
Continuing with the bathroom theme, the roof top area is reached by a stair case in the shape of a toilet drain.
After Sim Jae-Duck sadly passed away in 2009, the huge toilet was turned into a museum.
Eventually an entire theme park was constructed from the building, dubbed the "world's first toilet theme park".
Tourists can also stay inside the giant toilet for a staggering $50,000 per night.
