According to the web entertainment show `Kim Gu-ra Show' on the 27th, Kim In-man, CEO of the Real Estate Economics Institute, analyzed actor Son Ye-jin's investment in commercial buildings.
Son Ye-jin estimated that the monthly loan interest alone was around 50 million won as it was reported that the commercial building built by Son Ye-jin near Gangnam Station in Seoul in 2022 has been left vacant for more than six months.
In August 2022, Son Ye-jin purchased a two-story shopping mall with a land area of 277.7㎡ (84 pyeong) for 24.4 billion won between Gangnam Station on Seoul Subway Line 2 and Sinnonhyeon Station on Line 9. The building was then demolished and completed in June last year by building a new 724㎡ (219 pyeong) building with 1 basement floor and 5 ground floors. Given that the maximum amount of bonds on the register is 18 billion won, Son Ye-jin is estimated to have borrowed about 15 billion won.
CEO Kim said "These days, people who built new buildings are having a hard time. Rather, the construction cost was not included if the building was used, but Son Ye-jin added it to the fifth floorHe estimated that the construction cost alone was 2.5 billion won.
CEO Kim said Son Ye-jin must also have been in the dilemma of the building owner, adding, `We are not meeting tenants because of the high rent right now. However, if you lower the rent, the value of the building decreases, so you leave it empty."
If the Commercial Building Lease Protection Act is applied, the contract renewal request is applied for 10 years, so once the rent is applied, it cannot be raised for 10 years.
"Since Son Ye-jin received about 15 billion won in loans, she is paying 600 million won a year and 50 million won a month based on the interest rate of 4%, and "Of course, she is a celebrity, so she can pay it because she has the ability." "
In response, Kim Gu-ra said, "50 million won a month is hard for celebrities."He lamented, "No matter how much Son Ye-jin is paying 50 million won a month that you don't know how long you're going to pay, can you afford it?"
Meanwhile, Son Ye-jin has confirmed her appearance in the Netflix series 『Scandal" with Ji Chang-wook and Nana, heralding a screen comeback with Lee Byung-hun in director Park Chan-wook's film 『I Can't help it』 after giving birth.
"Scandal" is a drama about a rude and dangerous love bet between Mrs. Cho, a woman who has great talent to live in confinement as a woman in the Joseon Dynasty, and a woman Hee-yeon, who is involved in the bet.
'Scandal' is based on the 2003 film 'Scandal - Joseon Men's and Women's Sangyeoljisa'. At that time, Son Ye-jin will play the role of Lee Mi-sook, Ji Chang-wook will play the role of Bae Yong-joon, and Nana will play the role of Jeon Do-yeon. Just before the French Revolution, the film moved Pierre Chouderlo de Laclo 'Dangerous Relationship' to the Joseon Dynasty, where neither love nor temptation was prohibited, depicting a high-ranking French society promiscuous by conspiracy and destruction.
