Mecenapolis is known as the residence of singer Lim Young-woong, who purchased a penthouse (223.31㎡) there for 5.1 billion KRW in September last year. At the time of purchase, no separate mortgage was registered on the official registry, suggesting that Lim Young-woong paid the full 5.1 billion KRW in cash.

Mecenapolis was completed in August 2012 and consists of three buildings ranging from 7 basement floors to a maximum of 39 floors above ground, with exclusive areas ranging from 122 to 244㎡.

Besides Lim Young-woong, it is known that singer Haha and Byul, as well as comedian Jung Hyung-don, reside there, earning it nicknames such as "Tower Palace of Gangbuk" and "Celebrity Apartment."



Meanwhile, Jeong Dong-won, who gained fame through TV Chosun's "Mr. Trot," has steadily continued his music career and established himself as a trot singer. Recently, he expanded his activities as an actor and starred in the movie "New Normal," which was released on the 8th.
