K-Pop Star Yoon Jong-shin Profits $3 Million from Real Estate Sale Amid Health Struggles

K-pop singer Yoon Jong-shin has made a significant profit in real estate.

Recently, Yoon sold a building in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, for 5.5 billion KRW (approximately $4.1 million). He originally purchased the property for around 1.5 billion KRW (approximately $1.1 million) a decade ago, resulting in a remarkable profit of 4 billion KRW (approximately $3 million).

The building features a basement and two above-ground floors. It is conveniently located about a five-minute walk from Hangangjin Station on Line 6, surrounded by attractions such as Blue Square, the Leeum Museum of Art, and luxury residential complexes.

Meanwhile, Yoon Jong-shin, who married former tennis player Jeon Mi-ra in 2006, is a father to one son and two daughters. Recently, he has been in the spotlight due to health issues related to Crohn's disease, which led to severe abdominal pain. Yoon revealed that he had to undergo surgery to remove 60cm of his intestine due to narrowing.

Yoon shared, "I experienced Crohn's pain after a long time. I couldn't join my friends for a meal after a round of golf. Please don't misunderstand," adding, "Crohn's always comes like this. You came to me over 30 years ago. It's been 20 years since I learned your name, Crohn. Now, you feel like an old friend, albeit a troublesome one."
