Lee Byung Hun Acquired Multi-Billion Won Building in Seoul
According to a local media outlet, Hankyung.com reported that the award-winning actor has acquired a multi-billion building through a corporation called Project B.
Lee Byung Hun's Project B bought a building in Seoul, particularly near Oksu Station in Oksu-dong, Seongdong-gu.
The purchase was made in August 2022 for a whopping 23.99 billion won.
Moreover, the newly acquired property has a site area of 732 square meters and a total floor area of 2494.76 square meters.
As a whole, the building boasts two basement floors and six floors above ground.
Interestingly, the report also states that the award-winning top star earns millions from the rental fee.
As an in-house director for Project B, Lee Byung Hun rakes 85 million won as a monthly rental fee alone.
On the other hand, Project B was a corporation reportedly funded by his mother. It is a real estate leasing and advisory corporation, where the actor owns 100 percent of the company's shares.
Since 2021, the top star has been venturing into real estate and reportedly sold a building in the same year, making a profit of 10 billion KRW.
