Former U.S. President Joe Biden has officially signed with Hollywood’s top talent agency CAA, joining big names like Squid Game star Lee Jung Jae!

On February 3 (local time), Creative Artists Agency (CAA) made the big announcement on its official social media, revealing that Biden is now part of their star-studded lineup.

In a statement, CAA shared, “President Biden is one of the most respected and influential American voices both domestically and internationally. We are honored to collaborate with him again.”

Interestingly, this isn’t Biden’s first time working with CAA. After serving as Vice President under Barack Obama, he previously signed with the agency from 2017 to 2020. During that time, CAA helped promote his memoir Promise Me, Dad, which many saw as a stepping stone for his 2020 presidential campaign.

Founded in 1975, CAA is one of the biggest entertainment and sports agencies in the U.S. While the agency is known for representing Hollywood’s biggest stars, they also work with political figures and social organizations. According to the BBC, CAA has represented Barack and Michelle Obama, as well as Hillary Clinton.

Some of the other top names under CAA include Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, director Steven Spielberg, baseball star Shohei Ohtani, and soccer legend David Beckham.

South Korean stars are also part of the agency’s impressive roster! Parasite director Bong Joon-ho, Squid Game director Hwang Dong-hyuk, veteran actress Youn Yuh-jung, and actor Kang Dong-won are all signed with CAA—along with Lee Jung-jae, who made history with his Squid Game success.

With Joe Biden now joining the list, many are curious to see what his next move will be.

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.
