Blackpink member Jennie reportedly became a "20 billion won building owner" after purchasing a building in Dongbinggo-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, for 20 billion won.
According to the real estate industry on the 11th, Jennie bought a building in Dongbinggo-dong in May last year for 20 billion won and completed the ownership transfer process in December of the same year. As no separate maximum-interest mortgage right is recorded in the certified registry, the purchase price is presumed to have been paid entirely in cash.
The building was completed in 1970 and is said to be located in the northern section of Dongbinggo-dong where ambassadors' residences are clustered. It is currently used by the Embassy of Iraq in Korea. With a land area of 595㎡ and a total floor area of 551.08㎡, the building has one basement level and two above-ground floors. Based on the transaction price, the per-pyeong price is reported to be about 1.11 billion won.
This is not Jennie's first real estate purchase. In July 2023, Jennie reportedly bought a unit in the luxury low-rise apartment La Terrasse Hannam, near UN Village in Hannam-dong, for 5 billion won, paying the full amount in cash. The unit has an exclusive area of 244.97㎡ (74 pyeong) and a supply area of 286㎡ (87 pyeong), with five rooms and three bathrooms.
Meanwhile, Blackpink, which includes Jennie, announced the release of its third mini album "DEADLINE" on the 27th.
