    Seoul, July 15, 2023 - Lee Hyori's announcement of her intention to return to commercial endorsements has sparked a frenzy among numerous major corporations and government agencies, all vying to secure her as their brand ambassador.

    On July 13th, Lee Hyori took to her Instagram to declare her desire to participate in advertisements once again, stating, "I want to do advertisements again. For advertising inquiries, please contact Antenna Music."

    Following her announcement, the comments section of her post became a battleground as official accounts from various industries, including well-known corporations and government agencies, inundated her with persuasive comments.

    The officials behind these corporate accounts showcased their sense of humor and engaged in a playful competition to capture Lee Hyori's attention.

    Notably, the popular coffee chain "Twosome Place" seized the opportunity when Lee Hyori shared a photo of herself wearing a checkered shirt, commenting, "Is the message in the shirt you're wearing now red, black... a message to Twosome Place, Hyori unnie?"

    Kakao Pay chimed in, asking, "Can we send the payment right now?"

    In addition to these interactions, companies such as Coupang, BC Card, Asiana Airlines, Hyundai Outlet, 7-Eleven, Emart24, and BMW Korea swiftly left comments, eager to catch up and demonstrate their interest.

    Even in the chicken industry, Nolbo Chicken went above and beyond, changing their official account ID to 'Hyori and Chicken' to highlight their dedication.

    They expressed their commitment, saying, "We were late because we had to confirm the channel name (change)."

    However, the excitement doesn't stop there. Government departments and various local governments are also keen on having Lee Hyori as their promotional ambassador.

  • Park Bo Gum shows he is good with money as his Jongno apartment rises by 500 million won in just one year and sets a new record

    Park Bo Gum is not just a talented actor — he’s showing he’s smart with money too!

    The star of Netflix’s When Life Gives You Tangerines (폭싹 속았수다) recently made headlines after the value of his apartment jumped by a whopping 500 million won (about 370,000 USD) in just one year.

    According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s real estate transaction records revealed on the 19th, the apartment where Park Bo Gum lives — an 84㎡ unit in Gyeonghuigung Ja-i Complex 2 in Hongpa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul — was sold for a record-breaking 2.54 billion won on March 21st. The unit is located on the 11th floor.

    When you compare it to last year’s prices, which ranged from 1.95 billion to 2.05 billion won, that’s a massive increase of about 500 million won!

    Gyeonghuigung Ja-i is known as a luxury apartment complex inside Seoul’s historic Four Great Gates area. It’s super close to popular spots like Gwanghwamun, City Hall, and Seodaemun Station on Subway Line 5 — making it really easy to get to hot places like Yeouido, Mapo, and even Gangnam through Line 3’s Dongnimmun Station.

    It’s reported that Park Bo Gum moved there back in 2019 after leaving Mokdong in Yangcheon-gu, choosing Gyeonghuigung Ja-i mainly for its perfect location near his work spots.

    Other units in the same complex have also been seeing crazy price jumps! A 59㎡ unit recently sold for 1.85 billion won (15th floor) last month, and a 101㎡ unit was sold for 2.73 billion won (7th floor) in February.

    An insider from the real estate industry said, "Apartments near palaces will likely stay in high demand because of their historic meaning, the beautiful city surroundings, and great transportation."

    Looks like Park Bo Gum definitely made a smart move with this one.
