Davichi’s Kang Min-kyung’s current status has been revealed.

On the 18th, Kang Min-kyung posted a short message and photo on her Instagram account, saying, “I hope you and I are both happy this remaining half of the weekend afternoon.”

The released photos show Kang Min-kyung sitting on an Irish kitchen counter.The look, with short pants and a somewhat embarrassing top, is eye-catching.She catches the eye with a pose that looks like she’s washing fruit and reading a book while lying seductively on the sofa.

Seeing this, fellow team member Lee Hae-ri whined, “It’s so tiring to be so pretty, I’m so tired.”

Meanwhile, the real estate industry recently analyzed the somewhat negative situation regarding Kang Min-kyung’s real estate investment.

Earlier on the 4th, News 1 reported, citing Building Road Real Estate Brokerage, that the current expected profit for the building in Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, that Kang Min-kyung purchased for 6.5 billion won in 2022 is virtually non-existent.It was purchased with a loan for 80% of the total sales price, but the monthly interest alone is estimated to be 16 million won.

According to the media, Kang Min-kyung sold a neighborhood living facility building with a land area of 145.45㎡ (44 pyeong)and 5 floors above ground and 1 basement floor located in Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul for 6.5 billion won in April 2022.Considering that the maximum bond amount was set at 6.6 billion won, the loan principal at the time of purchase amounted to 5.5 billion won.

The actual investment, including the transaction costs of 400 million won, is estimated to be 1.4 billion won.The analysis is that 80% of the total purchase price was purchased with a loan.

The building is located a 6-minute walk from Hapjeong Station, a transfer station between subway lines 2 and 6.At the time of the transaction, the exterior was dark, but after purchasing it, Kang Min-kyung changed the exterior to bright white to suit its intended use.

It is known that the lower floors are being operated as a flagship store of a fashion brand that they directly operate, and the upper floors are also being used directly as a fashion office.

At this point, three years after the purchase, the expected price difference is estimated to be virtually non-existent.Since Kang Min-kyung’s purchase occurred during a period of rising real estate prices, there have been no cases of transactions exceeding the highest purchase price yet.

However, the media explained that Kang Min-kyung purchased the property for direct use rather than for investment returns such as rental deposits, so she will be personally responsible for paying the interest.
