Singer Kwon Eunbi, renowned as the Water Bomb Goddess, has reportedly purchased a single-family home near Cafe Street in Songjeong-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, for 2.4 billion won or approximately USD 1.7 million. The previous owner acquired the property in December 2014 for 435 million won (USD 312,332.83) (13.59 million won per 3.3㎡) and sold it after nearly 10 years, earning a profit of nearly 2 billion won (USD 1,436,013).

The property is described as a compact structure comprising one basement and three floors. Upon completing the balance payment in June, Kwon Eunbi will officially become the property owner. Situated in Songjeong-dong, adjacent to the recently popular commercial area of Seongsu-dong, the location is deemed promising for real estate investment, encompassing both single-family and multi-family homes. 

Songjeong-dong offers the advantage of proximity to Seongsu Station, with relatively lower property prices compared to the soaring land prices in Seongsu-dong. Properties in Seongsu-dong have been known to fetch prices exceeding 200 million won per 3.3㎡. Being the nearest commercial district to Seongsu, Songjeong-dong benefits from the expansion of the Seongsu commercial area. 


Furthermore, Songjeong-dong presents numerous opportunities for development, including the undergrounding of the Dongbu Expressway and the Jungnangcheon waterfront improvement project. There are also prospects for development projects focusing on rejuvenating old alleys. Consequently, land prices, which previously hovered around 20 million won per 3.3 m2, have surged.

An industry expert remarked that Seongsu-dong is home to not only SM Entertainment, one of Korea's three major entertainment companies but also numerous other entertainment firms. Songjeong-dong, situated north of Seongsu-dong, offers convenient access to Gangnam via Dongho Bridge and Seongsu Bridge, as well as connections to Yeouido, Sangam, and Mok-dong. Additionally, it boasts good accessibility to broadcasting stations.
