Amid reports that actress Seo Hyun-jin was a victim of a 2.6 billion won jeonse scam, her agency has not revealed its position on the matter.

On the afternoon of the 2nd, a media outlet reported that according to the Supreme Court’s court auction information, Seo Hyun-jin applied for an auction for a luxury villa in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on April 14th.

The property in question is a luxury villa near Cheongdam Park, and the auction will be held at the Seoul Central District Court on the 17th, it added.It was also revealed that Seo Hyun-jin signed a contract for this house in April 2020 with a deposit of 2.5 billion won and completed the registration of the lease, and renewed the contract in 2022 with a 125 million won increase to 2.625 billion won.

However, by April 2024, when the contract expired, the landlord did not return the deposit to Seo Hyun-jin.Seo Hyun-jin added that after completing the lease registration on September 12 of the same year, she vacated the house and began the auction process herself in April of this year.

In order for Seo Hyun-jin to recover her deposit, the successful bidder would have to pay more than 2.6 billion won, but realistically, the possibility of that happening is low.

Regarding this, Seo Hyun-jin’s agency only stated, “It is difficult to confirm as it is a private matter.”

Meanwhile, Seo Hyun-jin is scheduled to return through JTBC ‘Love Me’.
