According to The Korea Times,
Song Hye-kyo is currently one of the actors
who received the highest TV box office in Korea
along with Lee Jong-ae,
Jong Hee-hwin,
Hugh Bean and Kim Tae-hee
with a large source of income
from filming and advertising.
Song Hye-kyo threw money
and lost her property.

bought a two-story house
worth $ 7.2 million
from her stepson's wife, Cha In-ko.
She also bought a house for her mother
in Gangnam for $ 8.1 million.

Song Hye-kyo, bought
was a real estate built in 2014
with an area of 150 square meters,
including 5 floors, 2 floors,
both inside and outside
were taken care of.
The building is located near Hannam-dong,
and Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
This is said to be the only area
in this area
that Song Hye-kyo accidentally
became a neighbor of BTS,
Jennie, G-Dragon,
or Kang Daniel.
Notably,
the crown prince of the Samsung family,
Lee Jae-jong,
also owns an estate in this area.
Hannam-dong has a very special location.
The landform faces the Han River
and lies in the middle of the mountain Namsan,
the capital of Seoul.
Therefore, this area is considered
The location of Hannam is also very close
to the bank of the Han River
and the highway with many wonderful views.
But residents here
will not spend too much time
to go to other locations
such as Cheonnam-dong
or Gangnam.
Hannam-dong also has a road
to the three bridges
leading to the main highway in Seoul,
which connects the two areas
of the population of Gangnam and Gangbuk.
There are not many skyscrapers,
offices or shopping malls here,
so traffic in Hannam-dong
is quite frequent.
Song Hye-kyo is also
one of the most famous real estate
in Samseong,
the luxury district of Gangnam,
which was sold in 2020.
According to the report,
two of those numbers
are worth 7.2 million USD
and 2.5 million USD.
The actress Song also owns
a beautiful apartment in New York
worth 1.8 million USD.
Other sources also believe
Song Hye-kyo owns
an apartment near Central Park
which is said to be worth 7.6 million USD
and was sold in 2018.
The actress is also a person
who loves animals.
She owns two cute white dogs
named Robi and Oku.
This is the dog Bichon Bride,
which is expensive.
Both dogs have a large number of fans
and are often seen
walking together at work.
The actress also seems to own
some of the most expensive watches
of the Chalmette family
that she has worn many times.
If the watch Hortensia
and Lin Lumiere
were found on her wrist
in the film Encounter,
then the Polaro watch
was seen in events
and personal trips.
After Lee Hyun-tae
died in 2019,
Song Hye-kyo focused on her work,
resting, traveling,
and her new year.
The Korean beauty icon
is widely accepted
as more beautiful,
younger, and more mature.
When asked about her love life,
Song Hye-kyo refused to comment.
For the past 3 years,
the actress has also expressed
her love for her actors,
but she has not confirmed
or denied this information.
Now,
talking about the most important person to me,
Song Hye-kyo said
it was her mother.
According to Song Hye-kyo,
her mother is like a close friend.
When the actress decided to divorce,
the first person she sought to inform
and talk to was her mother.
During a difficult time,
facing the pressure of post-divorce media,
her mother was also her close companion.
Song Hye-kyo's mother
was a single mother for many years.
Her parents were married
when they were still young.
The difficult marriage life
and a lot of pressure
made these two break up early.
After her parents divorced,
Song Hye-kyo moved to live with her mother.
She said at that time,
her mother had to work to earn a living
to raise her children.
For many years,
Song Hye-kyo did not mention her father,
but she was always proud when talking about her mother,
grateful for her sacrifice
so that she has a current life.
To protect her mother,
Song Hye-kyo did not want her to appear on the media
and said that if she had a daughter,
she would raise her daughter
like how her mother raised her.
Song Hye-kyo shared that her mother
was like an old friend
who helped her a lot of advice,
bravely faced the wind of life.
While her ex-husband found new happiness,
Song Hye-kyo was satisfied with her single life,
continued to follow the path of acting
Certainly in the future,
with many diverse roles and young beauty,
over time,
the wealth of Korean women will increase a lot.
