Nana, formerly of After School, who has established herself as an actress after being a singer, has chosen Archiul Village in Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do as her new home.As the new owner of the 4.2 billion won luxury villa Arcadia Signature, she is another celebrity who has fallen for the charm of this quiet and private village.

In fact, Archiul Village has established itself as an ‘emotional space’ that artists and stars flock to, rather than simply being a luxury housing complex.That’s why it’s been given the nickname ‘art village.’

● From novelist Park Wan-seo to Han So-hee and Hyun Bin… A town filled with the scent of art
Archiul Village is where many of the most representative artists of the time, including the late novelist Park Wan-seo, painter Lee Seong-ja, and printmaker Choi Ji-sook, lived for a long time.Park Wan-seo wrote at her home while she was alive, quietly cultivating the bond between nature and life, and Lee Seong-ja, a pioneer of Korean women’s art, loved the tranquility of this village.

This artistic tradition continued with new faces in the mid-2000s, along with the transformation into a ‘rich village’.After the greenbelt was lifted in 2006, single-family homes and luxury villas were built, and the wealthy and celebrities moved in in large numbers.

Actress Han So-hee purchased a duplex penthouse for 5.2 billion won, and actress Choo Ja-hyun also signed a lease for 3.5 billion won.The newlywed home of actor Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, known as a representative celebrity house, ‘Walkerhill Podoville’ is also located here.In addition to these, the list of celebrities living in Archiul is impressive, including actress Oh Yeon-seo, singer Park Jin O H T Hee-joon.

● Why is it Archiul? Three charms that artists and entertainers fall in love with
First is privacy.There are many luxury villas with private entrances, and it is not easy for outsiders to access them, so it is easy to protect privacy.

Second, it is a nature-friendly environment.It is close to the Bukhangang River, so it is good for taking a walk or thinking, and it is also good for getting artistic inspiration in a quiet atmosphere.

The third is ‘art vibe’.In the layers of time left by artists of previous generations, current stars are also sharing their emotions and styles and expanding their artistic space.It means that it is not simply a place for the rich to live, but a place where those who dream of an emotionally rich life gather.

The 4.2 billion won luxury villa chosen by Nana is also in this context.It is not a simple investment, but a choice to improve the quality of life.Now, Archiul is not just a simple luxury residence, but a ‘sanctuary where emotions and assets coexist’ for those who dream of a balance between art and life.
