Momo has reportedly purchased a luxury home in Achiul Village, Guri, Gyeonggi Province this month for 4.3 billion KRW paid entirely in cash. The area is known for its cluster of multi-billion KRW luxury homes. The specific villa that Momo bought is the same area where Han Sohee and Nana had previously purchased units in.
According to court registry documents on the 31st, Momo, who is a Japanese national, signed a contract on the 23rd to buy a 221㎡ unit in the luxury villa 'Arcadia Signature' in Acheon-dong, Guri, for 4.27 billion KRW. The payment was completed on the same day and the registration of ownership was finalized with no mortgage records, indicating that she paid the entire amount in cash.
Arcadia Signature is one of the most exclusive properties in Achiul Village. It is a luxurious, villa-style residential complex built in May 2023. It consists of 2 under ground floors and 4 above-ground floors. It only has 8 units in total, 6 standard units and 2 penthouses.
The unit that Momo purchased, the 'Natural Terrace,' includes 3 bedrooms, 1 study, 3 bathrooms, and a private garden. Residents can enjoy views of both the Han River and Achasan Mountain from inside their homes. The villa also has a fitness room and private lounge area for residents.
Arcadia Signature is praised for its excellent location, because it is only a 15-20 minute drive to areas like Gangnam, Gangdong, Gwangjin, and Songpa in Seoul. It also has convenient access to large hospitals, department stores, and Han River parks. Furthermore, it is highly preferred by celebrities who want privacy because it is the first property in Achiul Village that has its own private entrance, allowing residents to enter and exit discreetly, with 24-hour security system.
Han Sohee also purchased a 203㎡ duplex penthouse in Arcadia Signature for 5.24 billion KRW in August last year. At the time, she took out a 1 billion KRW loan from a commercial bank to buy the unit. Nana also bought a 221㎡ unit in March for for 4.2 billion KRW, taking out a loan of about 2.7 billion KRW. Additionally, Choo Jahyun signed a two-year lease for a 222㎡ unit in late November last year with a security deposit of 3.5 billion KRW.
Achiul Village, where Arcadia Signature is located, is often called 'Artists' Village' as it has been home to novelist Park Wanseo, painter Lee Sungja, and printmaker Choi Jisook. After the greenbelt was lifted in 2006, luxury homes and villas began developing in the area. It is highly favored by many celebrities because it offers quiet, rural living while being close to Seoul. Notably, Hyun Bin bought a penthouse unit nearby for 4.8 billion KRW in 2020, where he started his newly wed life with Son Yejin. Other celebrities reported to live in Achiul Village include actress Oh Yeonseo, singer Park Jinyoung, and the couple Hyuna and Yong Junhyung.
[+347][-55] Other singers must be having a reality checkㅋㅋㅋ She can't even sing well, but she manages to earn money in another country.
[+274][-9] Han Sohee must've earned a huge amount of money too.
[+250][-6] The entertainment industry really is all about one lucky break in life.
[+24][-3] Change the law so can foreigners can't just buy property unless they actually live here. If they don't live in the house they bought, they should be required to pay 10% of the property tax every year.
[+16][-2] I can't even earn 200 million KRW a year even though I work for over 12 hours and only get 2 days off a month... This really makes me have a reality check.
[+15][-0] It seems like the three of them must be close friends, considering they all live in a villa complex with only eight households.
[+10][-1] Apparently, Han Sohee came to Seoul from Ulsan right after her senior year break, only with 300,000 KRW and a dream to become model. She knew no one in the city. She worked part-time and got cast by Musinsa. Her guts are amazing. She probably would've succeeded no matter what.
