It appears to be the prime season for Hallyu stars purchasing expensive buildings! Jaejoong recently impressed with the purchase of a building worth approximately $7 million USD. �Now, actor Jang Geun Suk was reported to have done the same, except his building was bought for a whopping 21.3 billion KRW (~ 20 million USD)!

The contract gives 95% of equity to Mr. Jang while the remaining 5% goes toward another family. �It was reported that come March, the value of the building was expected to increase with the opening of an extended subway line nearby.

People showed concern about whether it was possible the agency, after getting entangled in the actor's tax controversy, was stretching the meaning of this building purchase. �His agency rep said, "He received a loan, so he purchased it. There is no connection to this tax case."
