Jang Keun-suk, a real estate tycoon worth around $1.1 billion
Jang Keun-suk began acting at a young age and has played notable roles in various dramas and movies. His roles started to gain attention particularly through dramas like *You’re Beautiful*, which gained immense popularity throughout Asia. These works made him a well-recognized star across Asia, earning him the nickname “Asia’s Prince.”
Japan was particularly fond of him. He expanded his activities in Japan by appearing in the Korean-Japanese joint film *One Missed Call: The Final* using the fluent Japanese he learned from his Japanese friends during his study abroad in New Zealand. The success of his dramas greatly contributed to securing his fan base in Japan.
His success in Japan was not limited to his career. He purchased a building worth around $51 million in Shibuya, a downtown area in Tokyo known for its expensive land prices. It’s said that the monthly rent income from this building alone amounts to about $255,000.
In Korea, he also purchased real estate in areas like Gangnam, where prices have risen. Now, Jang Keun-suk, a celebrity of almost chaebol-level wealth, reportedly owns over $1.1 billion worth of real estate in Korea and Japan. It’s a fitting image for someone nicknamed “Asia’s Prince.”
He also has a keen interest in cars. Not only has he customized a Rolls-Royce to create a one-of-a-kind vehicle in the world, but he has also generously provided his own Porsche as a prop for drama filming.
Recently, through his YouTube channel “I am Jang Keun-suk,” he has been gaining familiarity by maximizing the ‘bluff’ character he built during the Cyworld era. Despite his enormous wealth, many appreciate the freshness of his broadcasts, which are conducted in a modest, unglamorous, and retro style.
Jang Keun-suk, who has been less active since 2018, made a comeback earlier this year with the role of a passionate detective in *The Mole*. We look forward to seeing the “Asia’s Prince” in new works soon.
