At the time, the residence was valued at 4.02 billion KRW or estimated at 3 million USD. 

A year later, the top star purchased another residence in Galleria Foret, located on the 17th floor, valued at a whopping 3.02 billion KRW, or around 2.416 million USD. 

The additional property was a bit smaller than his first since it only had 170 square meters. 

As for his third real estate acquisition, Kim Soo Hyun opted for a penthouse, which he reportedly bought in January 2024. The said price was around 8.8 billion KRW or 7.04 million USD. 

The 218-square-meter home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Per reports, the actor managed to secure his growing number of properties through loans amounting to 4.84 billion KRW, or 3.8 million USD. 

Kim Soo Hyun also utilized his previous properties as collateral.

With the top star's multiple purchases and the skyrocketing value of properties on the market, the "Queen of Tears" star's value is around 28 billion KRW to 30 billion KRW, or 20 million to 22 million USD. 

With a string of successful K-dramas under his belt, Kim Soo Hyun has maintained his global popularity through the TVN K-drama "Queen of Tears."

The 'Queen of Tears' Craze

As the series reached its final week, viewers tuned in to his character, Baek Hyun Woo, and his heiress wife, Hong Hae In, played by Kim Ji Won. 

Fans and viewers are hooked on the duo's chemistry as they play an on-screen couple. 

During the April 21 broadcast, "Queen of Tears" hit another milestone by garnering 21.625 percent. This marked a new personal best in terms of viewership. 

Following the amazing spike in viewership, tvN is looking into giving the team a reward vacation for a job well-done broadcast. 

"Due to its popularity, the cast and production team will possibly have its party once again. The reward vacation will be discussed after the end of the series," a representative said, as mentioned by a media outlet.
