[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Broadcaster Noh Hong-chul confessed that he suffered a significant loss related to apartment sales.


On the 23rd, the KakaoTV show 'Ants Keep Going Ttuntun 2' featured Noh Hong-chul, Kim Jong-min, DinDin, Mijoo, and others sharing real estate-related episodes.


That day, while the members were traveling by boat on the Han River, passing near Seongsu Bridge, they said, "You can start to see the most expensive apartments in Korea."


In response, Noh Hong-chul said, "Apartment Building 25 was my home, but as soon as I sold it, the price went up by 1.2 billion won."


Noh Hong-chul confessed, "It was a royal floor," and added, "Now I have moved to Huam-dong."


Kim Jong-min and DinDin expressed amazement, saying, "That's really amazing, how could that happen?"


Also, an expert, with a sense of disbelief, asked, "Are you saying you sold Apgujeong and moved to Huam?"


Noh Hong-chul said, "Living near Seoul Station doesn't mean I'm homeless; I am happily residing in a detached house."


Noh Hong-chul said, "I think I sold the Apgujeong apartment about five years ago," and the experts said, "That was exactly when housing prices started to rise."


Noh Hong-chul shared the reason for selling the house: "I had no intention to sell. But an unknown doctor came to me and told me to sell the house. Even though I said, 'This house is old, with rusty water coming out, so it would be difficult,' the doctor said, 'It's okay. I will pay 50 million won more.'


When the expert asked, "Did you not wonder why someone would want to buy it by paying 50 million won more?" Noh Hong-chul said, "The moment I heard they would pay 50 million won more, all those thoughts disappeared."


The expert advised, "You should have accurately assessed the value of the apartment. The fact that the price rose means that demand could increase accordingly. The same applies to stocks."



In response, DinDin said, "If Noh Hong-chul hyung lost that much in investment, he couldn't be sane."
