Actor Song Kang bought a luxury APT. in Seongsu-dong at a record price.
On the 17th, according to the real estate industry, Song Kang purchased a 227㎡ unit of Seoul Forest Hillstate in Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, at 6.7 billion won at the end of June and completed the ownership registration last month.
6.7 billion won is the highest price since the complex was built. The maximum claim amount on the certified copy of the register is about 4.6 billion won, and considering that mortgages are typically set at 110% to 120% of the loan amount, Song Kang is estimated to have borrowed up to 4.2 billion won, equivalent to 60% of the house price.
In particular, the government announced on June 27 that it would limit mortgage loan amounts in the Seoul metropolitan area to 60 million won or less to curb overheating in the metropolitan real estate market.
The regulation took effect on June 28, the day after the announcement. However, it is reported that Song Kang was able to avoid the regulation by signing the sales contract on June 27, the day the loan restriction was announced.
The Seoul Forest Hillstate that Song Kang purchased is one of the luxury APT.s located in the Seongsu-dong area and is known to have been purchased by celebrities such as Namkoong Min, Lee Sang-yoon, BTOB's Yook Sung-jae, and former baseball player Park Chan-ho.
Meanwhile, Song Kang completed his military service and was discharged in October. He has confirmed a role in the tvN drama "Po Hands" as his next project, which is scheduled to air next year.
