On June 2, NewsPirit revealed that the actress SEO Hyun-Jin presented a court auction in April 2025 after her owner was unable to return the Jeons deposit Cheongdam-Dong, Gangnam, Seoul.
According to the documents of the Supreme Court, SEO entered into a Jeonse leasing contract in April 2020 with a deposit of ₩ 2.5 billion krw (about 1.8 million dollars), which later renewed in 2022 with an increase in the deposit of ₩ 2,625 billion KRW (about 1.9 million dollars). Although he recorded his lease rights, he was unable to recover his funds when the lease contract expired in April 2024.
In an attempt to recover the money, SEO left the property and started the auction procedures. However, since then the villa has been classified as a “Kkongong House,“A jargon term that refers to the properties whose market value has collapsed below the sum of their loans and deposits.
Although initially assessed a ₩ 2,873 billion KRWThe property did not attract buyers in its first auction round. The current minimum offer has decreased approximately ₩ 2,298 billion KRW – Much below the SEO threshold must fully recover its deposit.
Given the continuous recession in the Real Estate Market of Korea, the experts are pessimistic about the possibilities that the property sells equal to or greater than or greater than ₩ 2,625 billion KRWsuggesting that SEO can incur Significant financial loss.
Despite the personal arrest trip, SEO Hyun-Jin is advancing with his career. She is ready to return to the small screen in her next drama Love mea Korean adaptation of the Swedish series created by Josephine Bornebusch. The drama tells the story of a slightly selfish but deeply recognizable family that sails on love and personal growth.
