Kim Jong Kook recently bought a spacious luxury villa in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam for 6.2 billion KRW (about 4.32 million USD). Reports from real estate sources on May 1 confirmed that he purchased a unit in the Nonhyeon Apelbaum 2nd Complex worth 243㎡ (approximately 2,615 sq ft) in Seoul last month. The full amount was paid in cash without a mortgage registered. The Nonhyeon Apelbaum is a high-end townhouse-style villa complex in Gangnam, consisting of 76 households in total. Its features like five-layered exterior walls and 180 CCTV cameras attract celebrities who highly value privacy, with actors Jang Geun Suk and Lee Yo Won known to live in the same area. Kim Jong Kook, who currently resides in the "Acro Hills Nonhyeon" apartment, plans to move as shown on a recent TV appearance where he discussed relocating by June.
