Kim Hye Soo Buys $5.9M Luxury Hanam Apartment in Cash
Kim Hye Soo has purchased a luxury villa in Hannam-dong for 8 billion KRW (approx. 5.9 million USD) entirely in cash.
According to official property records obtained on June 16th, the veteran actress acquired a 242.3-square-meter unit in Hannam Riverhill at the end of March for 8 billion KRW. No mortgage or liens were registered on the property, indicating the purchase was made entirely in cash.
Insiders speculate that Kim previously resided in another unit within the same building and has now chosen to purchase a different floor of the same villa complex.
Located in Hannam-dong’s UN Village area, Hannam River Hill is a residential complex completed by Samhwan Corporation in September 1999, consisting of 32 units across buildings A (16 units), B (8 units), and C (8 units). The property is a 15-minute walk from Hannam Station on the Gyeongui-Jungang Line.
The neighborhood is home to several ultra-luxury residential complexes including Paarc Hannam, Re Garden The Main Hannam, Brighten Hannam, Hannam The Hill, and Nine One Hannam. The area is known for housing celebrities including BTS’s Suga, actress Kim Ha Neul, and BIGBANG’s Taeyang and actress Min Hyo Rin couple.
