Girl's Day member, Hyeri, has made a splash in the real estate scene by buying and revamping a building in Seoul.

On April 6th, MoneyToday spilled the beans that Hyeri had snagged a 4-story building in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The building was bought under a corporation she set up back on December 31, 2020.

The building, about 20 years old, was bought for a cool 4.39 billion won, which is thought to be just for the land value, not including the building itself.

Hyeri wrapped up the payment on March 30, 2021, got the green light for reconstruction within a month, and kicked off construction in June that year.

The revamped building boasts 4 floors and a basement, with a total floor area of 499.88㎡.

MoneyToday estimates that the current market price of the revamped building and land could be over 7.5 billion won.

While the simple market price profit is 3 billion won, insiders in the real estate industry reckon that the actual profit might not be that big, considering the acquisition tax and construction cost.

Born in 1994, Hyeri shot to fame as a member of Girl's Day in 2010 and further boosted her popularity through MBC's 'Real Men'.

Hyeri, who played the lead role Sung Deok Sun in tvN's 'Reply 1988', earned the nickname '10 Billion Girl' and cemented her status as a top-tier actress.

She was in a public relationship with actor Ryu Jun Yeol starting from 2017, but they called it quits in November last year.

Following their breakup, Ryu Jun Yeol was rumored to be dating actress Han So Hee. Han So Hee confirmed the relationship through her blog, but they announced their breakup just two weeks into their public romance.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
