Friendly Rivalry star Hyeri's 6 billion KRW profit explored as 2 buildings worth 12.1 billion grow in value
Hyeri, widely known as a singer and actress formerly part of the girl group Girl's Day, has quietly become a significant player in Seoul's real estate market. Recently, it was confirmed that she owns two buildings in Gangnam's most sought-after neighborhoods, Samseong-dong and Yeoksam-dong, with investments totaling over 12 billion KRW (around 8.8 million USD). Hyeri's Real Estate Properties Hyeri 's first major real estate acquisition was made in August 2022, when she purchased an older multi-family property in Samseong-dong through a family corporation. The building, bought for about 7.75 billion KRW (5.6 million USD), is located in a prime area close to multiple subway lines, which greatly increases its desirability and value. Following the purchase, Hyeri demolished the original structure and invested heavily in redevelopment. She constructed a new building featuring six floors above ground and two basement levels. Factoring in the cost of the property, transaction fees, and construction expenses, her total investment is estimated to be close to 10.7 billion KRW (7.8 million USD). Currently, she is seeking tenants with a deposit of 400 million KRW (289,000 USD) and a monthly rent of 30 million KRW (approximately 21,700 USD). Real estate analysts predict that if she sells this property within the next three years, she could make capital gains exceeding 3 billion KRW (2.3 million USD). Hyeri's real estate ventures don't stop there. She also purchased a building in Yeoksam-dong in December 2020 for 4.39 billion KRW (about 3.17 million USD), again through a corporation she founded. Similar to her first project, she tore down the existing building and rebuilt it. The market value of this property is now estimated to exceed 10 billion KRW (7.2 million USD), with the possibility of capital gains surpassing 3 billion KRW. Industry experts have noted that Hyeri's use of trust agreements and corporate ownership structures is a common strategy to maximize financing options and reduce initial investment burdens. Who Is Hyeri? Hyeri, born Lee Hye Ri on June 9, 1994, is a South Korean actress and former member of the girl group Girl's Day. She rose to fame with her role as Sung Deok Sun in the highly acclaimed drama Reply 1988 (2015), which became one of the highest-rated Korean dramas ever.

Hyeri can't hide her jealousy of Park Bo Gum over When Life Gives You Tangerines' success, complains about joining Netflix late
Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun recently dropped by Hyeri's Hyell's Club to promote their Prime Video release Good Boy. Lately, Bo Gum's been on a winning streak, thanks to his Netflix smash When Life Gives You Tangerines. In the drama, he stars as Gwan Sik alongside IU; the show dominated global charts for consecutive weeks and even sparked full-blown 'Gwan Sik syndrome.' Meanwhile, Hyeri's Friendly Rivalry also arrived on Netflix at the same time but didn't quite hit Tangerines levels. But she made sure to show her playful jealousy, barely hiding how much that stung. Also read: Park Bo Gum made a request to Kim So Hyun years ago: 'Remember this when the time comes'; the story behind Good Boy casting The trio kicked off their chat with plenty of behind-the-scenes talk from Good Boy—Bo Gum's second big project this year. The K-drama follows a group of athletes-turned-rookie cops. The three shared laughs, threw compliments around, and somewhere in between, Bo Gum casually mentioned he'd just finished watching Friendly Rivalry. He praised Hyeri for her performance, saying, 'It was so impressive yet surprising at the same time.' But instead of looking flattered, the Reply 1988 star pouted and playfully reminded him how When Life Gives You Tangerines stole the spotlight. 'We joined Netflix a bit late, and by then, Tangerines was already number one,' she said. 'But honestly, it's one of the standout works in Oppa's filmography. Everyone's just going to call you Gwan Sik now.' In response, Bo Gum didn't downplay the success and instead thanked her for remembering the character. 'I'm grateful and honoured to have such a project in my filmography. Thank you for remembering me as Gwan-sik. Being remembered as a character is precious and meaningful for an actor.' He added, 'I hoped the story would warm the world, and I'm glad it resonated well.' Bo Gum and Hyeri go way back to their breakout roles as Choi Taek and Go Deok Sun in the 2015 hit Reply 1988. The duo's off-screen friendship has stayed solid since, and fans got a sweet throwback recently when they showed up together at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards—posing for a few couple shots that instantly reignited the nostalgia. Hyeri later took to Instagram, writing, 'It was such a valuable and honoured moment just to be nominated for the Baeksang Arts Daesang! I will continue to work hard in acting and repay you with an even better version of myself. Thank you so, so much!!!!' Also read: Good Boy: Park Bo Gum says he'd 'love to do an Indian musical', talks Muhammad Ali as he gears to pack a punch in upcoming K-drama In the later part of the conversation, Bo Gum didn't forget to pull Hyeri's leg and joked about the bump in her hair, which kept rising. He burst into laughter and suddenly called the producer to fix Hyeri's hair. 'I was looking at you and I thought you were wearing headphones.' While she got her hair fixed, the actor found a hairpin and offered, 'I'll fix your hair if it rises again.' To which his Good Boy co-star Kim So Hyun added, 'He's really good with hair.' Then Bo Gum revealed he has a certificate in hairdressing, which he earned while serving in the military. 'I got it in the military. I was a barber.' Hyeri curiously asked, 'Do you have to take an exam?' Bo Gum replied, 'You have to take an exam. You have to know how to handle hot irons and also know how to cut hair.'

Will Hyeri replace Park Shin Hye in Chair Time? Know about her potential next project after Friendly Rivalry
Actress Lee Hyeri may soon return to television screens with a new romantic drama. On May 20, her agency Sublime revealed that she is currently reviewing an offer to appear in the upcoming series Chair Time. The statement stirred excitement among fans eager for her comeback. According to Sublime, Chair Time is one of several projects that has been presented to Hyeri. In a brief response to media outlet Daily Sports, the agency clarified, 'It is one of the works that she is reviewing after receiving an offer to appear in it.' Chair Time is expected to be a sentimental romance with a strong emotional arc. The story follows Lee In Young, a seasoned and highly regarded general manager who has built a reputation for professionalism and perfectionism in her field. Despite her success, years of career pressures and personal sacrifices leave her disillusioned and emotionally drained. The drama picks up at a turning point in her life, when her confidence wavers and her inner convictions begin to falter. In a twist of fate, she meets Jo Chi Soo, a free-spirited and eccentric dentist whose worldview is the polar opposite of her own. As the two develop an unlikely bond, they help each other overcome past traumas, rediscover their self-worth, and explore what it means to truly connect. The series is expected to weave themes of healing, companionship, and the slow rebuilding of one's purpose through human relationships. Earlier, Park Shin Hye was reported to be in talks for the drama's lead. However, it seems the negotiations didn't go favorably, which opened the door for Hyeri. Fans have been especially eager to see Hyeri take on new roles following her last appearance in Friendly Rivalry. Ever since rumors began circulating about her potential return, Hyeri's fans have taken to online forums and social media, expressing their hopes for her comeback. Many have voiced excitement over the premise of Chair Time. They say it could be a refreshing project that showcases a more introspective side of the actress. However, as of now, no official decision has been made regarding her involvement. The discussions are ongoing and further updates will be shared once things are confirmed. For now, fans will have to wait and see whether Hyeri will step into the shoes of Lee In Young.
