Broadcaster Kim Goo-ra expressed regret, saying that the timing of mixed martial artist and broadcaster Kim Dong-hyun's recent purchase of an apartment for 10 billion won seems to have been poorly timed amid news of a decline in its market value.
On the 11th, a video was released on the YouTube channel 'Gree Gura' featuring broadcaster Kim Goo-ra and real estate expert Director Kim In-man discussing apartments in Apgujeong, Seoul Gangnam-gu.
In the video, Kim Goo-ra mentioned Kim Dong-hyun while analyzing the redevelopment outlook for Apgujeong apartments. Previously, Kim Dong-hyun purchased a unit with an exclusive floor area of 182 square meters (approximately 55 pyeong) in Shinhyundai Complex 12 for 10 billion won in September.
Kim Goo-ra said, "I heard Kim Dong-hyun bought (an Apgujeong apartment) for 10 billion won. He arranged 5 billion won from the seller and used his own 5 billion won to make the purchase." He added, "Apgujeong is a synonym for wealthy residential areas in our country. While Hannam-dong also has many high-end homes, it is not common to find an entire large-scale complex established as a wealthy neighborhood like Apgujeong."
Kim Goo-ra said, "The fact that Mr. Kim Dong-hyun paid 10 billion won means he entered the deal expecting it to become worth 20 billion won in 10 years, isn't it? If not, why would he buy it? He must be entering with the expectation that it will be worth at least 15 billion won in 10 years."
In response, Director Kim, who briefly tilted his head in puzzlement, said, "It could become worth 20 billion won in 10 years," and predicted, "One should enter with the expectation of 15 billion won." He then shared news of the apartment's market value decline, stating, "You bought it for 10 billion won now, but due to recent tax burdens, it has dropped to 8.8 billion won."
Hearing this, Kim Goo-ra expressed regret, saying, "Mr. Kim Dong-hyun took a big hit with crypto last time, and his investment timing seems a bit off." Nevertheless, he added, "But Apgujeong will have ups and downs as you live there, but considering its scarcity, I see it trending upward."
In response, Director Kim advised, "I think once you buy a house, you hold onto it for at least 10 years. There is no need to be overly elated or distressed just because it has dropped temporarily."
