“Even just by tax saving, you could have prepared ‘Kim Sae-ron’s 700 million.'” Kim Soo-hyun’s purchase of Galleria Foret a year ago → Now owns 3 units, with total value approaching 30 billion won.
[Sports Seoul | Reporter Won Seong-yoon] Actor Kim Soo-hyun’s purchase of three high-end mixed-use apartment units at Galleria Foret in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, last January has once again become a topic of discussion. The purchase price was approximately 17 billion won, and the real estate market value reaches 30 billion won. There is speculation that if he had opted for diversified investments rather than purchasing three apartments, he could have saved over 700 million won, the amount required to settle the debt demanded from the late Kim Sae-ron.
In January of last year, Kim Soo-hyun purchased a 297㎡ (90 pyeong) penthouse in Seongsu-dong 1-ga, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, for 8.8 billion won. It appears that he financed half of the apartment’s price through a maximum secured loan amount of 4.84 billion won.
Previously, in October 2013, Kim Soo-hyun acquired a 297㎡ (90 pyeong) penthouse for 4.02 billion won. In October of the following year, 2014, he also bought a 231㎡ (70 pyeong) unit for 3.02 billion won. The market price of Galleria Foret is reported to be around 1 billion won per pyeong (3.3㎡), which reflects a total market valuation of about 25 to 30 billion won.
