Yoon Jung-soo openly shared his story of experiencing past real estate failures and even bankruptcy, revealing that he had incurred losses amounting to approximately 10 billion won.
On the 10th, during the broadcast of the MBC variety show 'Save Me! Homes,' Yoon Jung-soo reflected on his failed real estate investment experiences in a special segment commemorating his marriage and shared his bitter feelings.
He first mentioned the Banpo APT. that caused his initial loss, stating that he purchased the Banpo APT. for 500 million won in the early 2000s, which later soared to over 8 billion won. He expressed regret, saying, "I bought it for 500 million on a recommendation from a senior, and I sold it when it rose to 700 million. If I had waited just 300 million more..." If Yoon Jung-soo had held onto this house, he could have gained approximately 7.5 billion won in market profit. He mentioned, "The Banpo I missed," with a bitter smile, as he had actually lost 7.5 billion won.
He referred to his second failure involving his home in Cheongdam-dong, stating that he had incurred losses of about 2.8 to 3 billion won. He bought the upscale APT. for 1.34 billion won and lived there for 10 years, but due to failure to cover debt guarantees, it eventually went to auction. The APT. is now estimated to be worth around 4.2 billion won, and when including both the actual loss and the missed market profit, the estimated losses total approximately 2.8 to 3 billion won. Yoon Jung-soo shared that "the day of the auction was my birthday. The interest alone was 9 million won a month," confessing his extreme financial struggles at that time. He added, "My appearance fee was seized, and I had to do laundry with drinking water as I had no money to send to the laundromat," which evoked sympathy from everyone.
Thus, the total estimated losses from Yoon Jung-soo's real estate failures amount to approximately 10 billion won, with the potential profit loss from the Banpo APT. estimated at about 7.5 billion won and the losses from the actual and market valuation of the Cheongdam-dong home estimated at about 2.8 to 3 billion won.
Ultimately, Yoon Jung-soo even faced bankruptcy. Nevertheless, all that remained was 'debt.' He stated, "Out of 1 billion won in loans, I repaid 700 million, but it ballooned back to 1.2 billion. I lost my house to auction, and only debt remains," and he noted, "I realized that what's scarier than losing a home is debt."
However, now Yoon Jung-soo, letting go of regrets and starting anew, smiled in response to Jo Hye-ryun's joke, "Let go of regrets and go; there's a Pilates instructor," saying, "That's right," and added, "Now I genuinely move forward for true love," which touched many.
Meanwhile, Yoon Jung-soo is planning to marry a Pilates instructor 10 years his junior this year. His courage and sincerity in overcoming past wounds and preparing for a new beginning have garnered support from viewers.
