Actor Lee Jong-suk is drawing attention for his exceptional real estate investment strategies.

According to a report on the YouTube channel "wander planet" on the 7th, Lee Jong-suk initially purchased a luxury villa named "La Terrace Hannam" in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, with an exclusive floor area of 284 square meters (approximately 85 pyeong), for approximately 4.3 billion won in March 2015.

It is known that the property was offered at a discount of around 50% off the original sale price due to unsold inventory resulting from financial difficulties at the construction company, Dongyang Group, at the time. Lee Jong-suk acquired the unit and has continued to hold onto it without selling, even after moving out in 2019.

The current market asking price for a unit of the same size is estimated to be around 20 billion won. This represents an increase of approximately 4.7 times compared to the initial sale price.

Lee Jong-suk currently resides in "Nine One Hannam," a luxury residential complex located in Hannam-dong. He was selected for the housing subscription of the complex, which was supplied through a senior lease-and-then-purchase method, and moved in in 2019. It is reported that after completing a mandatory two-year rental period, he paid off the sale price of 7.3 billion won to acquire ownership. The current estimated market value is known to reach approximately 27 billion won.

As a result, the estimated value of the two properties owned by Lee Jong-suk, La Terrace Hannam and Nine One Hannam, amounts to approximately 47 billion won. Adding other commercial real estate assets, his total real estate valuation is estimated to exceed 63 billion won.

Meanwhile, Lee Jong-suk is starring as Heinrey in the Disney+ original series "Remarried Empress," which was recently released.
