Designer Gu Jeong-soon revealed that she is the owner of a building on Cheongdam-dong luxury street.

On the afternoon of the 7th, Seo Jang-hoon asked during the broadcast of EBS and E Channel's 'Seo Jang-hoon's Neighbor Millionaire' (hereafter 'Neighbor Millionaire'), 'Are you a building owner in Cheongdam-dong?' Gu Jeong-soon appeared.

Seo Jang-hoon asked, 'Are you a building owner in Cheongdam-dong?' and Gu Jeong-soon noted, 'At that time, the office I worked in was paying 6 million won in rent, but there was no computer there. When we had a presentation, all employees would work all week through the nights, but the building manager would turn off the lights at 10 p.m.' She also added, 'During that time, a real estate man kept saying there was good land and wanted to show it to us.'

She continued, 'The land price was 2 million won for 100 pyeong, making a total of 200 million won. I calculated and found that it would take three years to make back the land price,' and said, 'I asked my parents to lend me money and decided to buy it right away. I persuaded my parents to buy the land, and after that, I built a building,' confessing her secret to becoming a building owner on Cheongdam-dong luxury street about 30 years later.

Seo Jang-hoon stated, 'If it is 2 million won per pyeong, let me explain further. When I was young, I moved from Banpo to Apgujeong-dong when I was 2 years old, so I know well. (In the late 1980s) when I was in the first year of middle school, Apgujeong-dong was becoming famous. As Apgujeong-dong became increasingly saturated, we gradually moved out, and Cheongdam-dong became the most expensive land in our country. Even if you just roughly estimate a millionaire building, even at the very least, that was in 1987, and now it is 2025, so it has increased 100 times in 38 years,' evoking surprise.
