Korean actor Byeon Woo Seok, who created a fever with the TV series "Carrying You and Running", is said to have bought a luxury apartment at Hannam The Hill in Hannam-dong, Seoul for 13 billion won (about 250 billion VND) and paid the full amount in cash.
According to real estate finance and the online real estate registration portal of the Korean Supreme Court on September 10, Byeon Woo Seok bought a 235 m2 apartment in Hannam The Hill, Yongsan district, Seoul in May. The actor paid the full amount on September 2 and completed the ownership transfer procedures.
Because the real estate registration dossier did not record the establishment of separate mortgage rights for the apartment, the market believes that Byeon Woo Seok paid the full amount in cash.
Built in 2011 on land formerly belonging to Dankook University, Hannam The Hill is a residential area consisting of 32 buildings with about 600 units. Unlike conventional large-scale apartment buildings, the project focuses on large-area apartments, low construction density and large landscape areas, creating a high-class and unique living space.
Hannam The Hill is also considered one of the typical residential areas reflecting the trend of the Korean high-end real estate market. According to real estate experts, the project is of particular significance as it contributes to attracting the demand for high-end housing, which is mainly concentrated in the Gangnam area, to Hannam, thereby increasing the value of housing in this area.
Currently, many leaders of large Korean businesses are said to be living in Hannam The Hill, including Hong Bum Sik - CEO of LG U+; Koo Dong Hwi - CEO of LS MnM; Kim Kwang-il - Vice Chairman of MBK cum co-CEO of Homeplus.
Many artists such as Ok Joo Hyun, So Ji Sub, Choo Ja Hyun, Lee Yo Won, Lee Young Ja and Lee Seung Chul are also said to reside here.
Byeon Woo Seok was born in 1991. He debuted as a model in 2010, then began pursuing acting with the tvN drama "Dear my friends" in 2016.
The actor continues to appear in many works such as "20th Century Girl", "Soulmate", "Youth Reportage", "Strong Girl Gang Nam Soon", "Carrying You and Running", "21st Century Warrior Lady"...
In particular, the unexpected success of the movie "Lovely runner" in 2024 has put Byeon Woo Seok in the ranks of sought-after stars and become a bright face in the advertising field.
Recently, Byeon Woo Seok continued to attract attention when showing his charming and humorous speaking ability in the program "Yoo Jae Suk's Camp" on Netflix.
