Yoo Jae Suk is making big moves in real estate! The top comedian and TV host is currently constructing a 7-story commercial building on land he purchased for a whopping 20 billion KRW in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

According to reports on March 10, Yoo Jae Suk’s new building will house office spaces, restaurants, a photo studio, and more. There’s also speculation that it might be linked to Antenna, the entertainment agency where Yoo is the third-largest shareholder.

Industry insiders revealed that Yoo started construction in mid-2023, and the new building will feature:

Three basement floors + four above-ground floors
A total area of 1,668 square meters
A parking lot for 12 vehicles

The construction permit was granted in December 2023, and work officially began in May 2024. The building is expected to be completed by February 2026, with Strax, the developer behind the luxury Upper House, handling the project.

Yoo Jae Suk bought the 275-square-meter multi-family housing site for 8.2 billion KRW and a 299-square-meter vacant lot for 11.6 billion KRW, paying a total of 19.8 billion KRW in December 2023. Reports say he paid in full without taking a mortgage—a major flex!

However, in August 2024, around the time construction started, he registered a mortgage of 9.24 billion KRW with a financial institution.

Currently, Antenna’s headquarters is owned by CEO Yoo Hee Yeol, with the company leasing the space.

Now, rumors are swirling that Yoo Jae Suk’s new building could be used for entertainment-related projects—possibly even a new space for Antenna’s future expansion!

With this massive investment, fans are wondering—is this just another real estate deal, or is Yoo Jae Suk planning something big for his entertainment empire? Stay tuned.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently shared a fun conversation with her mom, revealing her mother’s unexpected reaction to her becoming a Chanel ambassador!

On March 13, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Genius Hong Jin Kyung." In the video, Hong Jin Kyung visited Jennie’s office.

Since Jennie had previously mentioned that Hong Jin Kyung always makes her laugh, she greeted her warmly with a big hug.

During their chat, Hong Jin Kyung shared a personal story, saying, "My daughter Rael went all the way to the U.S. to watch BLACKPINK at Coachella, but she got scammed when buying tickets. So, she couldn’t see BLACKPINK and ended up crying her eyes out." Jennie reacted with surprise and sympathy.

As they got to know each other better, Jennie decided to call her mom to ask about her prenatal dream. However, her mom didn’t answer right away, so Jennie joked, "She’ll call back later."

Jennie also opened up about her childhood, saying, "I had a strong sense of style from a young age. I loved fashion. I was a really obedient child, but when it came to school, I insisted on wearing what I wanted."

She then talked about her experience studying alone in New Zealand for five years, starting at age nine. "I think it was a crucial experience that helped shape who I am today," she shared.

When the topic of her Chanel ambassadorship came up, Jennie said, "It’s a brand I work with, but since I’ve been with them for so long, they feel like family."

Later, Jennie’s mom finally returned her call. When Jennie asked, "What was my prenatal dream?" her mother replied, "A really big tiger… ah, it caught a carp." Jennie laughed and said, "I think Mom is confused too."

But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Jennie asked how her mom felt about her being a Chanel ambassador. Her mother simply said, "Ah, it’s over."

Hong Jin Kyung then joked, "Does that mean it's now my daughter's era? It’s over?"—causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Later, Hong Jin Kyung playfully suggested playing a traditional Korean game with Jennie and made a hilarious request: "Jennie, when you go to Paris, I want to carry your bag. With my own money. But I’ll just bring a tiny camera and follow you a little. I won’t go inside Chanel."

After Hong Jin Kyung won the game, Jennie kept her promise and said, "See you in Paris (in October)," leaving fans excited for what’s next!
