T/N: JYJ3 have already reported similar news before (Links 1, 2, 3).
Are celebrities who live in the glamor of the limelight actually glamorous in their personal lives? This aspect was explored in the episode of tvN’s “eNews” that was broadcasted on February 7th.
The episode revolved around the theme “celebrity real estate tycoons,” with the celebrities ranked accordingly.
JYJ’s Kim Junsu came in fifth on the list. Known fondly as Asia’s “Idol Prince,” he earned tens of billions of won over a single year, an intake certainly befitting the nickname given by his adoring fans.
He gets around in a Ferrari 458 Italia, which costs a whopping four hundred million won. If the car model sounds familiar, it’s because it was made famous by the movie “Transformers,” where it made an appearance as an Autobot.
Kim Junsu also bought a townhouse in Gyeonggi-do for 1.7 billion won, which he gave to his parents as a present for their constant support.
His ownership doesn’t end here. Kim Junsu currently lives alone in a high-end residential apartment in Gangnam’s Samsung-dong. This residential complex, which also houses Kim Jaejoong, Lee Seunggi, and Lee Hyori, goes for as much as 3.5 billion won per apartment.
Coming in at number three is G-Dragon. No one could have guessed at the immense success he is enjoying now based on his time with “Little Roola.” However, he has since established himself as a credible musician, and is the leader of Big Bang.
G-Dragon currently lives in an apartment that overlooks the Han River. Last year, he paid 1.7 billion won for the apartment, which has a high investment value because of its location.
Yang Hyunsuk (CEO of YG Entertainment) also lives in the same neighborhood. Yang Hyunsuk paid a hundred million won in deposit, with the rest accounted for by a monthly rent of four million won. In other words, G-Dragon has beat out his boss in terms of luxury real estate.
He drives a car that is considered one of the top amongst luxury cars — a Bentley Continental GT, which weighs in at about two hundred and eighty million won. That’s not the end though — with the top range specifications he requested for, it’s estimated that he paid about three hundred and eighty million won instead.
Meanwhile, G-Dragon has registered approximately a hundred and twenty songs with the Korean Music Copyright Association, all of which earn him a tremendous amount of royalties, especially since his songs frequently top music charts.
that is the advantage if u join YG ent.. they can allow u to put any material/create ur own song.. just like GD&ToP… without boundaries..
I desperately want them to join YG, because there is no way SM can keep up with the illegal bs against YG. They can try to crush CJES because it’s a smaller company, but since YG is also part of the big 3…..
I don’t want them to join YG. I want them to establish their own company like what shinwha did.
@nikhapi: its so hard if they want to build their own E company, they have to “clearing” their name first (the SM badmouth things towards JYJ) people still believe JYJ is in the wrong side bcause their leave SM, imagining if they have company but the situation is still like this, they have to Make their position stable first infront of SK media..
at first I want them to join YG, not only because I’m YG Stan, but I know how well YG treat their artist.
They are called YGFamily not w/out reason u see.
and besides, Bigbang is a good friend of DBSK esp JYJ.
But now I’m happy with them in CJeS.
I love CJeS for being there and support our JYJ, even tho they’re new they still took the risk to fight with one part of big3.
as long as JYJ happy~ <33
but YG doesnt fit JYJ´s style at all xDDDD
na, it would be awesome it they can establish their own company, i know it would be difficult..but nothing its impossible, ne? n.n
LOL agree~ their music style maybe not fit, but have to admit both JYJ and YGFamily are all 4D! If they join YG, sure enough YG Family Concert will be the craziest but-awesome concert ever! XD
Yupz, lets wish the best for JYJ ^^
And i live in this shit rented house , own no car but still support JYJ and Bigbang. Life sucks, big time.
But it’s better with them IN it right?
I dunno..that’s how I think.
That sometimes I don’t know what I would’ve/would do if I didn’t have at least one source of constant happiness.
It’s pathetic really. But it seems like music is all I’ve got.
Think about the homeless u ungrateful b*tch!
there is no need to be calling ppl names. calm down.
Yes life is definately better with them IN.Lets get inspired by them and work hard 🙂
They are famous that is why.. We are just ordinary people who likes music and music takes all the shit in real life…
learn from them. they work hard to get where they are now, maybe if u work hard in ur chosen field u can get a nice house and car just like them.
GD and Junsu. I love these men. Just another sign JYJ and Big Bang aren’t meant to be. J/K not really. My boys are awesome. JYJFan/VIP I’m happy. Papa YG I love you.
‘idol prince’…kkkkkk… 😀
fuck!! and i can´t marry him!! JUNSU “i want you in my…..plans”
only 2 years he can be 5th..just only 6 years ago his ‘papa’ treat him like what ‘gdragon’s papa’ did…i think he will be ranked higher…
I like his mother’s house! so classy…
JYJ’s Junsu and Big Bang’s G-Dragon……where are the most popular idols in SK under that biggest e-company?
Still Busy doing the “World Tour”.. kekkekekee..
busy promoting in tv,shooting dramas,doing musicals,filming cf…they are very busy indeed but still not rich because it’s someone who’s getting their money.LOL
but its okay for them as long as they stay as loyal and obedient sons and daughters of their beloved company, lol.
@”putrihs
“World Tour”.. kekkekekee..”
I don’t think they are on world tour, maybe Japan tour of Asia tour maybe.
I’m glad BigBang has announced their World Tour with Live Nation on 25 cities/19 countries first (not SNSD or SuJu), see that SM? YG is a step ahead from you so stop being so boastful and arrogant. Sorry, I’m getting out of topic but I’m still high with that “We want to see JYJ: The cancellation of JYJ’s ‘The Day’ and the ties CGV has with CJ E&M and SM Entertainment ” article. How I wish JYJ, BigBang and other artists will outshine all those SM’s idols!
@Kris: that’s why im using “…” 🙂
Hahaha yep! That’s correct. Ironically, those from the biggest company don’t have these to show that they are well compensated for their hard work. The smartest JYJ made did in their lives: to go out of the box and challenge that existing system. The company have grown too daring to change their ways because they succeeded in nearly destroying most of those who dared to leave their company. But times have changed… And is still changing.
Kudos to YG. TOP and GD at least own their homes. YG gives them freedom. As much as I love YG, I think in the future I would want JYJ to establish their own companies.
Did TvN ship JYJ and Bigbang?
they making news that containing our boys lately 😀
I miss the old times when they talk about Real Life F4: Kim Hyun Joong, JJ, TOP, Chunnie.. kekeke 😀
and when Seungri jealous of his hyung deuk for be friend with Junsu while he can only fanboy-ing LOL
BB ❤ JYJ
Junchan~ marry meeee~ XD
“Are celebrities who live in the glamor of the limelight actually glamorous in their personal lives? ”
Medias are always so nosy. If those celebs live their lives by appreciating the money the have, then the medias will have them under their radar, by calculating what they earn and how much they spend. If the celebs live their lives hobo style (assumption), then the medias will say that the celebs must appreciate their fans by being good looking all the time.
Shut up medias! They earn what they spend, not like chaebol who inherit the money.
*thumbs up*
I really can’t wait for Big Bangs comeback and it would be awesome if JYJ started their own entertainment company like someone here suggested.
