It is estimated that the value of the three apartments owned by actor Kim Soo-hyun is around 30 billion won.

According to the industry and real estate agents in the Seongsu-dong area on the 25th, the apartment where Kim Soo-hyun lives is 'Galleria Forêt', a residential-commercial complex located in Seongsu-dong, Seoul. In addition to Kim Soo-hyun, this apartment is famous for being home to famous celebrities such as G-Dragon.

According to a copy of the register, Kim Soo-hyun purchased and resides in an exclusive area of 217㎡ in this apartment since October 2013. When Kim Soo-hyun bought this house, the purchase price was 4.02 billion won. The 'Penthouse' is a royal floor unit with a view of the Han River. It consists of 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and has two balcony spaces.

An official at a nearby real estate agency said, "The penthouse has never been traded to date, but the asking price is around 13.5 billion won." Based on this estimate, Kim Soo-hyun is expected to see a market profit of approximately 9.5 billion won.

The following year, on May 16th, 2014, Kim Soo-hyun purchased her exclusive area of 170㎡ (17th floor) for 3.02 billion won. He completed the transfer of ownership of the trust property owned by Galleria Forêt Co., Ltd. on October 24th of the same year.

In addition, Kim Soo-hyun purchased an additional penthouse for 8.8 billion won on January 5th of this year. The exclusive area is 218㎡ (17th floor) and has 3 rooms and 3 bathrooms.

Kim Soo-hyun received a loan with the highest bond amount of 4.84 billion won from a commercial bank using the 'Galleria Forêt' apartment he owned as collateral. It is understood he raised 4.4 billion won in cash and 4.4 billion won in loans through mortgages.

When analyzed at the current market price, the price of Kim Soo-hyun's three apartments is calculated to range from 28 billion won to a maximum of 30 billion won.

The reason celebrities flock to Seongsu-dong is because they can enter Gangnam by crossing Dongho Bridge and Seongsu Bridge. It is easy to access Gangbyeonbuk-ro, so you can reach the Sangam and Mok-dong areas where the broadcasting station is located in 30 minutes to 1 hour. There are many favorable developments, and the scarcity of high-rise apartments in the Seongsu-dong area is also increasing.

Ham Young-jin, head of Woori Bank's Real Estate Research Lab, analyzed, "Although Galleria Forêt is a residential-commercial complex, it is large in scale, and along with 'Acro Seoul Forest', it was built as a high-rise, high-end residential-commercial complex among the commercial areas near Seoul Forest."

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun, is currently gaining popularity by appearing in tvN's 'Queen of Tears' with actor Kim Ji-won.
