‘Queen of Tears‘ actress Kim Ji Won is making headlines not just for her acting prowess but also for her impressive real estate portfolio. It’s been unveiled that she owns a building in Seoul that’s worth a whopping 6.3 billion won.
News1 broke the news on April 19, quoting a source from the real estate industry. The report revealed that Kim Ji Won had inked a deal back in June 2021 to acquire a building situated in the Nonhyeon-dong area of Gangnam-gu, just off Dosan-daero, for the said amount.
The report further detailed that the property was bought under the corporate banner of ‘Jiwon Entertainment Co., Ltd.’, where Kim Ji Won serves as an internal director and representative.
Given that the maximum bond amount is pegged at 4.2 billion won, it’s estimated that the actual loan principal stands at around 3.5 billion won. The building itself is quite spacious, with one basement level and five floors above ground, covering a land area of 198㎡ and a total floor area of 495㎡.
When asked about this, a spokesperson from Kim Ji Won‘s agency, HighZium Studio, told NewsEn, “It’s challenging to verify as it pertains to the artist’s personal affairs.”
On the work front, Kim Ji Won is currently basking in the success of her tvN weekend drama ‘Queen of Tears’. In the show, she portrays Hong Hae In, the executive director of Queens Group and the president of Queens Department Store, and shares a romantic storyline with Kim Soo Hyun, who plays Baek Hyun Woo.
The drama’s 12th episode, which aired recently, recorded an impressive viewership rating of 20.732%.
