Famous individuals who chose Brighton N40 include L (Kim Myung-soo) from the 2nd generation idol group Infinite, actress Han Hyo-joo, Oh Yeon-seo, and broadcaster Lee Hwi-jae. L from Infinite purchased one unit of the 128㎡ exclusive type at Brighton N40 at the end of August last year and registered it at the end of November the same year. The housing type consists of 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. L bought it for 3.96229 billion KRW, and a mortgage of 1.43 billion KRW was set on the registration certificate.


Oh Yeon-seo also purchased a unit last year. She bought an 84㎡ exclusive unit for 2.71 billion KRW entirely in cash. Actress Han Hyo-joo is known to be residing there after renting one unit in 2022 and then signing a lease-to-own contract. Brighton N40 initially supplied its first phase units through a ‘lease-to-own’ method, and all those units were sold out. The second phase units were supplied through a sale method that did not require a subscription savings account.
