Comedian Mickey Kwangsu revealed the scale of his assets.

On the 25th, a video titled "A Comedian Who Got a Real Estate Boss to Treat Him to a Meal Hit It Big?" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Grigura'.

Mickey Kwangsu, who debuted in 2005 and is now in his 22nd year, appeared as a guest.

Kim Gu-ra said, "When you're active everywhere, your income scale becomes apparent," and asked Mickey Kwangsu, "How much are your assets worth?"

In response, Mickey Kwangsu revealed that he owns a home in Seongsan-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. He added, "The redevelopment committee was formed quite some time ago, but the project has been dragging on."

Mickey Kwangsu also explained how he acquired his home. He said, "Around 2017, there was a popular segment called 'Gaps and Euls' on 'Comedy Big League.' We gained some popularity and held events. At that time, I heard Yang Hyun-suk appeared on variety shows like 'Healing Camp' and mentioned that he became close with a real estate agent and received many good leads. Watching that, I realized I should get to know someone in the real estate business."

He continued, "Coincidentally, a local real estate auntie liked me. So whenever we had invitations for 'Comedy Big League,' I gave them out, and when real estate customers came, I took photos with them. At that time, I was living in Jeon-seo (rental housing) in Yeonnam-dong. The rent was around 180 million won."

At the time, Mickey Kwangsu received a recommendation for a good property from the real estate boss. He said, "The boss told me, 'Even if you buy now, you'll earn 0.2 billion won.' It was cheaper than other units in the same villa complex. There were also rumors that Seongsan Station would be built nearby that day. So I had a good feeling about it."

He added, "I told them I'd sign the contract right away. The real estate boss probably expected me to treat him to lunch, but I was in such a good mood that I bought a set meal for him. However, the boss felt guilty about taking advantage of me, so he contacted the landlord and got 5 million won off the price."

As a result, Mickey Kwangsu purchased his home for approximately 255 million won about 10 years ago. Regarding the size, he said it was probably around 15.6 pyeong.

Hearing this, a real estate expert stated, "Buying for 250 million won was a great deal. Redevelopment typically involves demolishing old villas and building new apartments later." He explained, "Redevelopment projects vary, including single-family homes and villas. Each property is appraised individually to determine its value. This is called 'rights value.' The larger the land share, the higher the rights value. As buildings age, a larger land area results in a higher appraisal value for rights value. The higher this value, the less additional contribution fee you'll need to pay when redevelopment occurs."

The expert further said, "In Seoul, this is quite good—above average. It will likely exceed 600 to 700 million won. That area has seen a significant price surge in the past four months." He continued, "Since it's in Mapo-gu, once redevelopment happens, new apartments in Gangbuk with a private area of 84 pyeong are being sold for 2 billion won. Just wait for redevelopment..." leaving Mickey Kwangsu excited.
