Recently, Kim Soo Hyun has been involved in many lawsuits from advertising brands, with a total compensation of more than 4 million USD due to personal controversies. However, according to Koreaboo, his assets have increased significantly by millions of dollars thanks to real estate investment. Specifically, the actor's residence is in the Galleria Foret complex (Seoul, Korea).
According to data from the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the value of a 195 m2 apartment in the Galleria Foret complex - where Kim Soo Hyun owns 3 apartments, was sold for 9 billion KRW (about 6.43 million USD) on April 3. Compared to the 2020 value of 3.7 billion KRW, this apartment has increased by 5.3 billion KRW (about 3.79 million USD).
Kim Soo Hyun is one of the most famous residents of this complex. The actor owns 3 apartments, bought in 2013, 2014 and 2023. Therefore, the accumulated valuation increase of this real estate is expected to reach tens of millions of USD.
Actor Kim Soo Hyun, born in 1988 in Seoul, South Korea, is famous for his roles in "Dream High", "Moon Embracing the Sun" and "Why did you come Here" and most recently "Queen of Tears". Before the love scandal with the late actor Kim Sae Ron, Kim Soo Hyun was once known as the highest-paid actor in Korea.
The series of films with the actor's participation all won big and created a fever such as "For Why Why Are You Here", "It's okay", "Queen of Tears"... Since 2022, Kim Soo Hyun has been paid up to 165,000 USD for each episode of "It's okay". This salary level surpasses both Hyun Bin and Lee Min Ho - the two most famous actors in Korea.
The love scandal with the late actor Kim Sae Ron broke out, causing Kim Soo Hyun's reputation to be significantly affected when a series of advertising contracts were canceled, and the film "Knock Off" was delayed indefinitely. Although a press conference has explained the rumors surrounding the love scandal, many people believe that Kim Soo Hyun will find it difficult to regain his previous position.
