Jang Keun-suk Reveals Ownership of Building in Shibuya, Japan

Actor Jang Keun-suk has revealed that he owns a building in Shibuya, Japan.

On the October 16th episode of MBC's variety show 'Radio Star,' actor Jang Keun-suk appeared as a guest alongside FT Island's Lee Hong-gi, TXT's Soobin, and comedian Kim Shin-young.

During the show, Jang Keun-suk was highlighted as a leading Hallyu star alongside Bae Yong-joon. Kim Shin-young mentioned, "When I went to Shibuya, I saw women of various ages taking photos in front of a certain building. It's a modest yet practical building known as 'Jang Keun-suk's building,' where fans and visitors take pictures." She added, "There's also a café in the building."

Kim Gura commented, "It's because he was active when the yen was strong," and Yoo Se-yoon asked, "You're known as a pro in Japan, what kind of work do you do?"

Jang Keun-suk responded, "Besides acting, I engage in various musical activities as a solo artist, in an EDM unit, and in a five-member band. When performing with the band, we sometimes busk and earn money, and we have a rule to eat only as much as we earn that day." Yoo Se-yoon humorously remarked, "Isn't that experiencing life as a commoner?"

Jang Keun-suk described his fans as being like "Gangnam moms," saying, "Fans seem to resemble the personality of the celebrity they support, and those with similar traits become fans. My fans are very passionate, supporting me as if they want their own child to succeed. They've even sent food trucks for six months straight."

Regarding the age range of his fans, he explained, "Having worked for over 30 years, my fans are quite diverse, with some even in their 70s." Kim Shin-young confirmed, "Even just visiting that building, you can see the diversity in age."

Meanwhile, Jang Keun-suk is known to own real estate worth approximately 130 billion KRW in Seoul and Japan. This includes a building in Samsung-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul valued at 50 billion KRW, a building in Cheongdam-dong worth over 21 billion KRW, and a building in Shibuya, Tokyo valued at around 60 billion KRW.
