Kim Soo Hyun is facing a major financial blow after one of his luxury apartments was seized by cosmetics company Classys.
The seizure follows Kim Soo Hyun’s failure to repay ₩3.00 billion KRW (about $2.19 million USD) in penalty fees linked to his scandal with Kim Sae Ron.
Kim Soo Hyun bought three units in the Galleria Forêt luxury complex in 2013 and 2014. Classys targeted the 2013 unit for seizure.
His legal counsel slammed the move as unjustified, blaming malicious reporting from Garo Sero Institute and Kim Se Ui instead.
Kim Soo Hyun’s legal counsel:
“Classys’ seizure of his apartment is unjustified… fault and responsibility should be placed on Garo Sero Institute and Kim Se Ui, not Kim Soo Hyun.”
Advertisers associating with Kim Soo Hyun are also feeling financial hits amid the controversy, according to his team.
Classys filed the seizure case on May 8. The Seoul Eastern Court approved it on May 20.
This latest development puts Kim Soo Hyun under even more pressure as fallout from his scandal continues.
