• Song Hye Kyo Reportedly Sells Her Luxury House That Hasn't Been Sold For 3 Years For Over $6 Million USD

    According to reports, actress Song Hye Kyo sold her detached home in Samsung Dong, Gangnam Gu, Seoul for approximately 2.9 billion won in profit.

    Song Hye Kyo sold a detached house (land area 454 square meters, total floor area 303 square meters) in a Hyundai housing complex in Samsung Dong, Gangnam Gu, Seoul for approximately 7.9 billion won in April, according to BizKorea.

    Koo Bon Joon, chairman of LX Holdings, purchased the detached house in 1985 and subsequently sold it to Cha In Pyo and Shin Ae Ra in 2001; Song Hye Kyo acquired it in 2005.

    Her mother, Song Hye Kyo, has resided in this house since she purchased it for approximately 5 billion won at the time. In 2019, Song Hye Kyo's family put this detached home on the market for approximately 8.2 billion won.

    However, after three years of unsuccessful sales, Song Hye Kyo reduced her asking price, and the deal was closed in April for approximately 7,9 billion won. The selling price per pyeong is approximately 57.45 million won, so Song Hye Kyo made approximately 2.9 billion won from her.

    Currently, the detached residence is being demolished. In March of last year, Song Hye Kyo attracted attention by purchasing a new 7-year building in Hannam Dong, Yongsan Gu, Seoul for approximately 19.5 billion won. This structure is located close to the upscale apartment complex "Hannam The Hill".

  • NewJeans Minji writes touching letter on her birthday during activity halt: “We didn’t stop and we won’t stop”

    NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

    On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

    Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

    She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

    Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

    Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

    She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

    Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

    However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

    The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

    Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
