According to an exclusive report by JTBC Entertainment News on July 15, Kim Sejeong recently acquired a penthouse valued at more than 3 billion KRW (approximately $2.2 million USD). Her agency, BH Entertainment, confirmed the purchase but declined to disclose the property’s exact price.
Kim Sejeong has long been recognized for her careful financial habits, earning a reputation as one of the entertainment industry’s most financially responsible celebrities. Rather than making extravagant investments, she has previously shared that she primarily managed her earnings through savings accounts and fixed-term deposits.
The actress has also spoken openly about her childhood, revealing that her family once lived in a modest monthly rental home with a separated layout. She said one of her biggest dreams after finding success was to buy a home for her mother. Having already fulfilled that promise, Kim Sejeong has now purchased a home under her own name as well.
Kim Sejeong first rose to fame in 2016 through Mnet’s survival show Produce 101, finishing among the final members selected for the project girl group I.O.I. Earlier this year, I.O.I reunited to celebrate the group’s 10th debut anniversary, delighting longtime fans.
Beyond her music career, Kim Sejeong successfully transitioned into acting. Kim Sejeong made her acting debut in the 2017 KBS drama School 2017 before earning widespread recognition through hit dramas including: The Uncanny Counter and Business Proposal. She is currently preparing for her next drama, The Queen of High School Girls (working English title), which is expected to be her next major television project.
The purchase of a luxury penthouse reflects Kim Sejeong’s steady career growth over the past decade. Having built a successful career as both an idol and actress while maintaining a reputation for financial responsibility, the new home marks another personal achievement for one of South Korea’s most beloved multi-talented entertainers.
