Broadcaster Kim Goo-ra revealed singer Hong Seo-beom's past financial losses.

Recently, a video titled 'Economic Research Institute EP. 121' was posted on Kim Goo-ra's YouTube channel.

Mentioning that celebrities had shown interest in the Siksadong area of Ilsandong-gu in the past, Kim began by saying, "Many celebrities, including Hong Seo-beom, Lee Young-ja, and Park Won-sook, came here."

He shared, "At that time, Lee Gwang-gi told me, 'If you just buy it for a short period and sell it, you can make a profit. The apartments are really good.' That's how I got involved. But I paid the entire interim payment in cash and still live there now. If I had bought an apartment in Banpo back then, it would have been worth 7 billion won."

He continued, "Hong Seo-beom bought a penthouse at that time," adding, "'The Penthouse' was not furnished; the house only had the frame structure. It cost about 1.6 billion won, and he did additional interior work himself. People like Hong Seong-beom really suffered significant losses."

Kim also stated, "Hong Seo-beom also took on a development project in the construction sector and received commercial shops from that side. There were some issues with Goyang City regarding that as well. Hong Seo-beom truly suffered financial losses while living in Ilsan."

Meanwhile, the couple Hong Seo-beom and Jo Gap-kyung became the subject of public controversy over their son A's affair. Their former daughter-in-law B filed a lawsuit for damages following the dissolution of a de facto marriage, claiming that A committed adultery during the marriage and left home, causing the breakdown of the marital relationship. B also alleged that Hong Seo-beom and Jo Gap-kyung had stood by and watched the situation unfold.

In response, the first-instance court ordered A to "pay 30 million won in consolation money and 800,000 won per month in child support," and B also won her damages lawsuit against C, the alleged mistress.

However, A appealed the ruling. He partially won in the appellate trial held last June but filed a petition for further appeal. In September, the Supreme Court issued a decision dismissing the case without a hearing, finalizing the first-instance judgment that had granted B a partial victory.

"We have not intervened in the divorce process up to now, out of respect for our adult son's privacy and autonomy," they apologized, adding, "Ultimately, as parents, we greatly lacked in not closely examining our child's shortcomings."
