Considering his status as a K-drama and CF king after the success of Crash Landing on You, it seems highly unusual to take a one year break right when his career is soaring.

Hyun Bin’s penthouse purchase

Earlier this year, Hyun Bin bought a penthouse for US$4.3 million in the Walkerhill Podoville development in Achiul Village, east of Seoul. At the time, fans on social media speculated that the property was to be the couple’s eventual marital home. But his agency Vast Entertainment denied that he bought the property for that reason, adding: “we cannot confirm the details because this concerns a private residence.”

The new penthouse has plenty of space at 2,600 sq ft, featuring a sleek kitchen and a large walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom. It’s difficult to picture Hyun Bin living in the property alone with such family-oriented interior design.

Hyun Bin also owns an entire building in Cheongdam-dong and a flat at the luxurious Mark Hills development in Heukseok-dong. So why did he suddenly buy a new and larger penthouse when he already has all these other properties?

So will 2022 see Son Ye-jin move into Hyun Bin’s new pad as his wife? Only time will tell.
