(Reporter Lee Ye-jin, Xports News) The story behind singer Jeong Dong-won purchasing a residential-commercial complex worth 2.5 billion won and becoming neighbors with Lim Young-woong was revealed.
Recently, news broke that Jeong Dong-won purchased Mecenatpolis, a residential-commercial complex worth 2 billion won, located in Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.
Regarding this, we asked Jeong Dong-won to confirm the facts, but he told Xports News that confirmation was difficult.
Jeong Dong-won purchased a residential-commercial complex at the age of 16, four years after starting his full-fledged singing career through TV Chosun’s ‘Tomorrow is Mr. Trot’ in 2019, and became neighbors with Lim Young-woong. The apartment in question is reportedly worth 2.5 to 2.6 billion won.
Mecenatpolis, purchased by Jeong Dong-won, was also known to have been purchased by Lim Young-woong last September, and Lim Young-woong took over ownership of the highest-floor penthouse for 5.1 billion won. With this, they became neighbors.
And on the 18th, journalist-turned YouTuber Lee Jin-ho posted on his channel, ‘Did you visit Lim Young-woong? He posted a video titled ‘The real reason why Jeong Dong-won bought an apartment for 2.5 billion won’ and told the story of how they became neighbors.
He said, “It is said that he and Lim Young-woong are very close after Dong-won Jeong moved out. We spend time going to each other’s houses almost every day,” and said that the background of becoming cousins as neighbors was intentional.
He then explained, “Jung Dong-won is also said to be in good mental stability. As Lim Young-woong takes humane care as an older brother, the relationship between the two is becoming stronger.”
