"Romance Is a Bonus Book" leading man Lee Jong Suk has reportedly sold his building in the Hannam area.
On February 9, reports were released that earlier in January 2021, the actor sold his property, which is a 154.88 square meter (1,667 square foot) building located in Seoul's luxurious Hannam-dong neighborhood. The property was sold at KRW 3.59 billion (approximately USD 3.21 million). When he purchased the said building way back in March 2018, it was valued at around KRW 3 billion (approximately USD 2.69 million).
Lee Jong Suk's good and not so good investment deals
He was able to sell the building in Hannam at a higher price compared to the purchase price, but according to some sources, the actor did not make a big profit out of it because of some expenses like the remodeling fee and taxes that he spent prior to selling it.
However, Lee Jong Suk did not make a total investment loss for some of his properties. He owned another building in Sinsa-dong where his cafe-restaurant called '89 Mansion' was located. Sadly, the actor decided to sell the building due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on reports, in only four years, the actor made a huge profit from this deal. He actually earned approximately USD 1.83 million when he sold the building in Sinsa.
