Girl group Fin.K.L. alum and musical actress Ok Joo Hyun has drawn attention by purchasing an ultra-high-priced APT. worth about 19 billion won.
On the 11th, one outlet reported that Ok Joo Hyun bought a duplex unit at Hannam The Hill in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, for 19 billion won. In the process, a mortgage was established with a maximum claim amount of 12.3 billion won.
The unit Ok Joo Hyun purchased is a 1·2 floor duplex with an exclusive area of about 332㎡. In particular, Ok Joo Hyun bought the dwelling from Hur Hee-soo, president of SPC Group.
Hur, the president, bought the unit in September 2015 for 6.9 billion won and realized a market gain of 12.1 billion won in 10 years. The contract was signed in May last year, but the balance was paid recently, completing the transaction.
Hannam The Hill is known as an ultra-high-priced APT. where various celebrities live besides Ok Joo Hyun. It is known to be home to BTS member Jin, as well as actors So Jisub, Choo Ja-hyun, Lee Yo-won, and broadcaster Lee Young-ja.
Actors Kim Tae-hee and singer-actor Jung Jihoon (Rain) also once owned units at Hannam The Hill, and singer Lee Seung-Chul is also reported to have owned a penthouse unit and put it on the market.
Above all, the 19 billion won Ok Joo Hyun paid is known as the first-ever recorded actual transaction high for Hannam The Hill, drawing attention. Ok Joo Hyun debuted in 1998 as a member of Fin.K.L., received great love as a top figure among first-generation idols, and has since continued to be active as a top musical actress, so reactions say the price is understandable.
However, Ok Joo Hyun was sent to prosecutors last year on charges of failing to register a one-person agency and received a suspended prosecution. Beginning with Ok Joo Hyun, controversy over unregistered one-person agencies in the entertainment industry erupted widely, so the fact that she recovered in a short time and paid the balance for an ultra-high-priced APT. is drawing even more attention.<
