• Hwang Jung Eum Earns 4.7 billion KRW (~4 million USD) In Profit After Selling Her building In Sinsa-dong

    Hwang Jung-eum, who received many congratulations for her second pregnancy, delivered another great news.

    Maeil Business News Agency reported on the 16th that Hwang Jung-eum sold the building in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul after 3 years, earning a profit of 4.7 billion won.

    According to reports, Hwang Jung-eum bought a building in Sinsa-dong (1 basement floor and 6 above-ground floors) in 2018 for 6.25 billion won. After that, he sold the building last month for 11 billion won.

    If you look at the simple purchase and sale amount alone, it is a profit of 4.75 billion won.

    A real estate official explained through the media, "Even if Hwang Jeong-eum bought it under the name of the corporation he is currently representing and considered paying corporate tax when transferring it, he would have made more than 3 billion won in tax profit within three years and eight months of holding it."

    Hwang Jung-eum previously attracted attention by purchasing a detached house in Itaewon-dong, Seoul for 4.65 billion won last year under her own name.

    Meanwhile, Hwang Jung-eum married Lee Young-don, a former professional golfer, in 2016, and had a son the following year.

    After that, news of their breakup last year broke out, but they succeeded in reuniting after a year. In October, she announced that she was pregnant with her second child and was baptized.

  • BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Secretly Helped Her Friend Get a Role? Choi Hee Jin Reveals How Their Friendship Led to a Cameo in ‘Newtopia’

    Actress Choi Hee Jin, who impressed viewers with her performance in Motel California, opened up about her close friendship with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo — and how it led to her special cameo in Newtopia.

    Choi Hee Jin recently wrapped up her role as veterinarian Yoon Nan Woo in MBC’s Motel California, which ended on February 15th.

    The actress met with reporters on February 14 at her agency, Saram Entertainment, to talk about her busy schedule and her unexpected role in Newtopia.

    The actress revealed that her cameo in Newtopia happened because of her bond with Jisoo, who stars as the female lead in the drama.

    “Before I signed with my current agency, when I wasn’t with any company, I was offered the role of Jisoo unnie’s best friend in *Snowdrop. Even before the director contacted me, Jisoo unnie had already told me about it”, Choi Hee Jin shared.

    She added, “The director knew about the chemistry Jisoo unnie and I had in *Snowdrop*. Even though the role was very small, they asked if I would be willing to make a cameo in *Newtopia. It really is a tiny part”, she said, smiling shyly.

    The actress emphasized that the opportunity felt special because it reflected her real-life friendship with Jisoo. “There was really no one else but me who fit the role as her close friend, so they asked if I could do it. It’s a very small part, but I was happy to do it”, she said.

    Choi Hee Jin also shared how touched she was by the love she still receives for her past work with Jisoo.

    “Jisoo unnie personally reached out to me too, and we’re still very close. But more than anything, I was grateful that people still remember me from *Snowdrop. Since I made a special appearance this time, I’d love to ask Jisoo unnie to return the favor with a cameo in one of my future projects”, she said with a laugh.

    Fans are loving the sweet friendship between the two actresses — and many are already hoping to see them share the screen again in a bigger project!
