"My celebrity friends are buying many houses in Hannam-dong" Hyoyeon's honest feelings
Recent news in the entertainment industry has been filled with reports of ultra-high-priced residential purchases in Hannam-dong. Following IVE's Jang Won-young, who purchased a villa in Hannam-dong for 13.7 billion won in all cash last year, BLACKPINK's Jennie also purchased a luxury villa near Hannam-dong UN Village for 5 billion won in cash in 2023.
Amidst this trend, the cast of the MBC variety show "Where Is My Home," which aired on the 16th, shared stories while inspecting properties in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu. While examining the Hannam-dong listings, Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon expressed her honest feelings regarding recent real estate trends, stating, "Just looking at the news lately, my celebrity friends are buying many houses in Hannam-dong. Honestly, I'm envious."
"The energy is too intense" Chaeyoung's first impression of Hannam-dong
On the other hand, fromis_9's Chaeyoung showed a slightly different reaction to Hannam-dong. Recalling her experience living near Hangangjin Station during her trainee days, Chaeyoung said, "The energy in Hannam-dong is so intense."
She added, "There are many old buildings and I felt overwhelmed by the energy, thinking there must be many wealthy people here. I thought to myself that I should come back after I turn 30."
Hyoyeon, a senior with 19 years of experience, offered realistic advice to her junior, Chaeyoung. Hyoyeon told Chaeyoung, "Rather than thinking your career will last forever, you should take time to prepare for the future."
