‘Parasite’ Queen’s New Palace
Hey everyone! So, some seriously glamorous news is buzzing around Seoul right now. You all know Cho Yeo-jeong, right? The amazing actress who played the rich mom in the global hit movie ‘Parasite’? Well, she’s living up to her on-screen persona by snagging one of the most luxurious penthouses in the city! It’s official—she’s the proud new owner of a stunning home in a brand-new, high-end complex called ‘Brighton Hannam’ located in Seoul’s super bougie Hannam-dong district.
She Paid HOW Much?!
Okay, let’s get to the juicy part: the price. This penthouse is valued at around 4 billion Korean won. For my American friends, that’s approximately a cool $3 million! My jaw literally dropped when I heard. But what’s even more shocking is HOW she paid. Court records show there’s no mortgage on the property, which means she bought it entirely in cash. Can you imagine? Walking in and just dropping $3 million like it’s nothing? That’s true boss-level stuff right there and speaks volumes about her successful career.
Living in the Lap of Luxury
So, what does $3 million get you in Seoul? Brighton Hannam isn’t just any apartment building; it’s a statement. It’s known for its top-tier security, privacy, and hotel-style services like housekeeping, laundry, and even private party catering. The building also has insane amenities like a private fitness center, a golf lounge, and gorgeous views of the Han River and Namsan Tower. Hannam-dong itself is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Korea, home to CEOs, old money, and tons of huge stars like members of BTS and BLACKPINK. It’s basically the Beverly Hills of Seoul.
Celebrity Neighbors Galore
And it looks like Cho Yeo-jeong will be in good company! Her new building is already a hotspot for Korean celebs. Some of her new neighbors include Jeonghan from the K-Pop group SEVENTEEN, TV personality Kwanghee, and popular host Kim Na-young. It’s like a real-life K-Drama happening under one roof! After her incredible performance in ‘Parasite’ and a steady stream of successful projects since, it’s so cool to see her enjoying her hard-earned success like this. You go, girl!
