Go Jun-hee Reveals She Sold a $10 Million Apartment, Has Few Fond Memories
South Korean actress Go Jun-hee recently revealed she sold an apartment she owned in the Cheongdam-dong neighborhood of Seoul for 13 billion won – roughly $10 million – and admits she regrets the decision. The revelation came during a recent appearance on a Korean entertainment program, sparking conversation about the actress’s early financial success and her feelings about the property.
The 61-pyeong (approximately 2,000 square feet) apartment, located in a desirable area with views of the Han River, was purchased when Go Jun-hee was just 23 years old. “I sold the apartment, but I think I shouldn’t have,” she said, according to multiple Korean news outlets including Chosun Ilbo.
Despite the substantial value of the property, Go Jun-hee confessed she doesn’t have particularly warm memories associated with it. “I lived there for six years, but I don’t have any good memories,” she stated in another interview with Maeil Gyeongje. She added that she still frequents the area, but only to visit her usual dry cleaner. “I still go to the same laundromat,” she said.
The actress’s comments have resonated with audiences, highlighting the sometimes-complex relationship between financial success and personal fulfillment. The sale price was estimated at 13.0 billion won, receiving a rating of 7 out of 10 in terms of value, according to Sports Kyunghyang. The story underscores the high cost of real estate in Seoul, a trend that continues to shape the city’s cultural landscape.
Go Jun-hee’s career has spanned both television and film, with notable roles in projects like “She Was Pretty” and “Untouchable.” The actress’s candid remarks offer a rare glimpse into the personal life of a prominent figure in the Korean entertainment industry, and the story has quickly gained traction online, as reported by Nate and v.daum.net.
