Celebrities Reside in Seoul's Exclusive Hannam-dong, Reveals Real Estate Agent on 'Let's Eat Dinner Together'

A real estate agent on the JTBC show 'Let's Eat Dinner Together' revealed that celebrities like Uhm Jung-hwa, G-Dragon, BLACKPINK's Jennie, and BTS members reside in Hannam-dong.

On the episode aired on the 31st of last month, actors Kim Hee-sun, Lee Kyu-hyung, and singer Tak Jae-hoon visited the affluent neighborhood of Hannam-dong.

Lee Kyu-hyung shared, "I used to live in the poorer area of Hannam-dong before finding success in dramas," adding that "Hannam-dong has a positive energy." He humorously noted, "I briefly lived in Kumho-dong but returned to Hannam-dong, where I was cast in 'Prison Playbook' and 'Stranger'."

The trio visited a local real estate office, where the agent mentioned, "Recently, a property in Hannam-dong sold for over 25 billion won." Kim Hee-sun was surprised and remarked, "There's a saying that living in Hannam-dong makes you famous." The agent further explained, "Celebrities like Uhm Jung-hwa, G-Dragon, Taeyang, So Ji-sub, BLACKPINK's Jennie, and BTS members live here."

Later, the group joined chef Lee Yeon-bok in search of a dinner companion. Lee Kyu-hyung eagerly attempted the first doorbell ring but was turned down, leaving him disappointed. Tak Jae-hoon and Kim Hee-sun playfully bickered in front of the doorbell, adding humor to the situation.

Despite the challenging journey, they persisted in ringing doorbells. After 50 minutes without seeing any residents, they finally sensed someone near a gate. Although the homeowner recognized Kim Hee-sun, they were ultimately rejected, leaving the group disheartened. They failed to find a dinner companion.

Lee Kyu-hyung jokingly confessed, "I wonder if it's because of me. I must be bad luck." Chef Lee Yeon-bok laughed, "Maybe we should check if someone has bad luck before inviting them." Tak Jae-hoon comforted Lee, saying, "Given the private nature of the neighborhood, it was bound to be difficult to succeed."
