Details regarding Hong Seo-beom's loss on his Ilsan real estate investment were disclosed through YouTuber Kim Goo-ra's channel.
On the 26th, a full-length video titled "Economic stories good to listen to while lying in bed, Kim Goo-ra Economic Research Institute" was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Geuri Goo-ra." Actor Lee Gi-in appeared as a guest.
On that day, Lee Gi-in revealed that he had sold his apartment in Yeouido, following his previous sale of an apartment in Yongsan, and moved to Siksadong in Ilsandong-gu. He expressed regret, stating that if he had kept his previous apartment, he could have grown his assets.
Kim, who was listening, said that he himself currently resides in an apartment in Siksadong, venting his frustration by saying, "If I had bought a Banpo apartment with that money back then, it would be worth 6 billion won now."
Kim recalled a time when many celebrities flocked to Siksadong.
"Lee Young-ja, Dokgo Yeong-jae, Park Won-sook, and many other celebrities came," he said bitterly. "At that time, Lee Gwang-gi told me, 'You can just move in for a short while and sell it to make a profit (capital gains). The apartments are really good.' So I moved into an apartment in Siksadong, paid the entire interim payment out of pocket, and I am still living there."
Kim Goo-ra then said, "Hong Seo-beom was in the same boat as me. At the time, Hong Seo-beom bought The Penthouse in Siksadong. The sale price of the unit, which was just a frame (unfinished structure), was about 1.6 billion won, but he did all the interior work himself. People like Hong Seo-beom really suffered significant losses," drawing attention.
He added, "Hong Seo-beom also purchased a commercial space. There are various issues with that in Goyang City," and elaborated, "In fact, Hong had some financial losses while living in Ilsan."
Meanwhile, broadcaster Hong and his wife, singer Cho Gap-kyung, recently found themselves in the spotlight due to an affair controversy involving their second son, A.
The former daughter-in-law filed a lawsuit for the dissolution of a de facto marriage against A, and the court ruled that he must pay 30 million won in consolation money and 800,000 won per month in child support. The former daughter-in-law also won her damages lawsuit against the co-conspirator who had an affair with A, receiving a ruling for 20 million won in compensation.
At the time, Hong and Cho issued an official statement saying, "We will guide to ensure that legal obligations, such as the payment of child support and consolation money according to the court's ruling, are fulfilled promptly, and we will help him fulfill his responsibilities as the father."
