The couple of actor Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, who are referred to as 'real estate wealthy.' The couple boasts a real estate value of several hundred billion won, and their humble home environment is surprisingly warm and ordinary. Recently, Son Ye-jin shared updates through her SNS sub-account, showcasing her daily life with their son and her hands-on experience raising silkworms, delivering exciting news of their growing family.
According to the real estate industry last year, Hyun Bin listed his penthouse at Walkerhill Podoville in Achung-dong, Guri City, Gyeonggi Province, for 7 billion won. The couple lived in Guri, a neighborhood known as an 'artist village,' where famous stars like Park Jin-Young, Jo Sung-Mo, actress Oh Yeon-Seo, Park Hae-Mi, and Han So-Hee reside. The couple bought this luxury residence, which includes a rooftop garden and covers a supply area of 126 pyeong, for about 4.8 billion won in 2020. If the sale goes through, a capital gain of 2.2 billion won is expected.
Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin spent their newlywed life here after marrying in March 2022, and in November of the same year, they welcomed their first son. However, they decided to move out of this home just two years after their marriage.
Although they are a star couple with assets worth several hundred billion won, a quite different atmosphere was conveyed on Son Ye-jin's recently shared SNS sub-account 'Bal Ye-Jin (yejinfoot_official).' Her sincere daily life, riding swings with her child in a playground or raising silkworms and noting, 'I was moved when I saw the moths emerge,' showcases a more human side of Son Ye-jin, contrasting sharply with her glamorous appearance.
Fans reacted enthusiastically, saying, 'She’s a real estate owner, yet just a lovely mom, Son Ye-jin,' 'Hyun Bin’s wife raising silkworms at home is a huge twist,' and 'It’s great to see a star with a relatable vibe.' Above all, there were congratulatory responses regarding their growing family.
Meanwhile, Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin are considered a representative real estate wealthy couple in the entertainment industry. Son Ye-jin sold her luxury villa in Samsung-dong, which she purchased for 3 billion won in 2008, for 4.8 billion won last year, making a capital gain of about 1.8 billion won, and in 2020, she bought a building in Sinsa-dong, Seoul, for 16 billion won.
Hyun Bin also sold a high-end villa in Heuksok-dong, Seoul, which he purchased in 2009 and lived in for 11 years, for 4 billion won in 2021, realizing a profit of 1.3 billion won. In 2013, he bought a multi-family dwelling in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam, for 4.8 billion won and constructed a commercial building on the site, which is currently estimated to be worth over 10 billion won.
Son Ye-jin has chosen Park Chan-wook's 'No Other Choice' as her return project after giving birth. She is set to star alongside Lee Byung-hun, and the film will be released this fall.
