The fact that actor Ryu Jun-yeol (40) made billions of won in market profits by investing in Gangnam buildings as a family corporation is being re-examined.

In MBC's current affairs program "Exploration Planning Straight" (hereinafter referred to as "Straight"), which aired on the 8th, celebrities who are abusing one-man agencies, saying, "One-man agencies, or are you stupid if you don't?" were revealed. I've tracked down entertainment agencies such as ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo and actor Lee Ha-nee. Among those who shopped for suspicious buildings by establishing a family corporation, Ryu Jun-yeol's case of Yeoksam-dong building in Gangnam-gu, Seoul was also mentioned, drawing attention.

The building is known to have been traded at about 15 billion won in 2022 with two basement floors and seven ground floors. At that time, the seller was a corporation called "Deep Bridging," which was identified as a family corporation in which Ryu Jun-yeol served as an in-house director and his mother served as the CEO.

According to "Straight," DeepBridding purchased the building in 2020 for about 5.8 billion won. Since then, the existing building has been demolished, refurbished, and sold, resulting in a market profit of more than 9 billion won in about two years

In particular, it was also mentioned that the proportion of loans was large in the purchase process. DeepBridding is estimated to have raised about 4.8 billion won, or about 80% of the purchase price, through loans from the financial sector. Considering this, some analysts say that the actual equity capital invested is about 1 billion won.

In the broadcast, it was also pointed out that it is relatively easier to borrow commercial buildings than individuals when purchasing commercial buildings under the name of a corporation.

In an interview, a former bank branch manager said, "Individual businesses evaluate at banks, but corporations do not," adding, "Loan interest can also be recognized as a corporate expense, so there are many cases where up to 80% of loans are received in this case."

When this was known in 2022, Ryu Jun-yeol avoided making specific comments on the grounds that it was a "personal asset problem." However, regarding the purpose of establishing a corporation, he explained, "It is for personal income management." In addition, Ryu Jun-yeol explained at the time that he was trying to build a building with his friends to run a clothing business, but the business was put on hold due to COVID-19.

Moreover, the controversial reason was that Ryu Jun-yeol's hypocritical attitude was revealed, causing a sense of betrayal to the public. Ryu Jun-yeol said in an interview with Star News ahead of the release of the 2019 film "Money." I want to pay more attention to acting than to financial technology. Celebrities' successful investment technology cases are pouring out, but I don't think it will be difficult for me to become a building owner, even if I can't guarantee it."

He said, "When I heard about financial technology, I heard that the more I made money and made more profits, the more I had to continue doing my job. In fact, I know that there are many people who use financial technology as their business. If you have talent, you should do so, but I'm more interested in meeting the audience while acting than in financial technology. Less interested in money management. Shouldn't we focus and pay more attention to acting?"

In addition, Ryu Jun-yeol said, "People often say that there is money above people in the social trend. There seems to be a side where these events become dull to appear in the news a lot. I was wary of this part and saw 'money'. I wanted to express that boundary and make people look back. People should be above money. I feel that I have to live a life that controls money rather than money controls my life," he stressed.

Ryu Jun-yeol said he was careful about even one word, "I wish you a big hit." "In the early days of my debut, when I was asked to write a word when signing, I wrote down 'Hope you' and 'Hope you succeed'. After that, I didn't spend 100%. It's because I didn't want to say that because I was disappointed, rather than conviction. It's good if it's successful and successful. But I don't want it to be included in my signature. I didn't want to give you the feeling of wishing, such as "Ryu Jun-yeol, study hard!" and "Ryu Jun-yeol, do well." Other people other than me will say it, but I thought, "Do I have to do it, too?"

This is not the only behavior of Ryu Jun-yeol's "inconsistency in speech and behavior." After the "building owner controversy," the environmental guardian's move was found to be a "show-off" and suffered a blow to the image. He was a golf fan who took the lead in promoting climate disasters by saying, "I am an Arctic song." Unlike his campaign to reduce plastic in a container, Ryu Jun-yeol was criticized by the public by changing his phone case as if he were eating.

Meanwhile, Ryu Jun-yeol is scheduled to make a comeback in the second half of this year with OTT Netflix's new original series 'Deulji'.
