The properties are located in Seoul's upscale Seocho-dong area, specifically within the Byuksan Blooming Complex and Hanyang 4th Complex.advertisementThe total claim on the property was estimated to be worth four billion won (USD 2.9 million) and was aimed at covering damages caused by GaroSero's allegations about Soo Hyun's alleged inappropriate relationship with the late Kim Sae-ron.
