For those who don't know much about the place, Apgujeong-dong is the most expensive neighborhood in South Korea, purely based on the land price. The prices of the apartment complexes have inreased more since the time this video was taken. As of now, they cost more than about *_120,000,000 krw/3.3m²_* , which is about *_100k ~ 120k usd/3.3m²_* . Currently, the whole neighborhood is under the plan to reconstruct the apartment complexes. These apartments had the plan to reconstruct ever since the early 2000s, but the South Korean government and the Seoul mayor had been restricting it for a very long time, worrying that it would greatly impact the real-estate market (However, I personally believe that those restrictions eventually ended up being a better decision since the mayor is now retired (he committed suicide back in 2020), the mayor who had been limiting the heights of the houses near the Han river only up to 35 floors, and the president Moon Jae-in, the president who also had been blocking the reconstruction developments, had finished his term). There are several apartment complexes in Apgujeong-dong, built by 3 different companies--Hyundai, Misung, and Hanyang. The prices right now are mostly the land price itself, since the apartments are very old and worn. It is expected that the price of apartments in this neighborhood will eventually rise to *_200,000,000 krw/3.3m²_* when the reconstruction finishes; that is about *_163k ~ 200k usd/3.3m²_* . Apgujeong-dong is a very unique neighborhood in South Korea since no other neighborhoods in South Korea consist only of apartment complexes like Apgujeong-dong. Many famous Korean celebrities are living in/possess the apartment in this neighborhood, including Korea's no.1 show host, Yoo Jae Suk, another famous show host Kang Ho Dong, K-pop boy group Superjunior's Choi Siwon, one of the most famous Korean entertainers Noh Hong Cheol, one of the most famous Korean actresses Kim Hee-ae, and more. You can also see a few singer trainees living in the apartment complex, especially those located on the right side of the neighborhood because the SM entertainment building is nearby. These apartment complexes being built in Apgujeong-dong marked the start of the development of the Gangnam district, the district in which the Apgujeong-dong neighborhood is located. The center of Seoul and the most populous region in Seoul used to be the Northern side of the Han river until the early 1970s when the Apgujeong-dong apartment complexes started to be built. The northern region of Seoul looked unorganized since it was developed without any specific plans and more and more people came into Seoul to live and work as South Korea's economy grew, so the South Korean government felt the need to increase the population capacity by increasing the boundaries of Seoul, which was to include the Southern side of the Han river. As you might notice by looking at the South Korean map, the Southern side of the river is tidier and divided up equally with straight roads while the Northern side of the river is more curvy and divided into random shapes. Since then, more and more people started to move to the Southern side of the river and Gangnam eventually became the new wealthy region. It has been maintaining its fame until now, and it is believed that it will continue to symbolize wealth in the far future too.
I'm surprised so many rich people live there and the management doesn't even bother to pressure wash or repaint the exterior. Those upper floor concrete bannisters were covered in mold, ew. The paint was chipping on the front of the building by the stairs. Why not do a little upkeep? 11:22 look at all the bird poop and mold! I'd demand more for my money.
You're very shocked by the appearance of dirty apartment!😄 This complex is planning to rebuild, so it's going to break down all the buildings!😊 Most of the houses inside are very luxurious!😉 Thank you for watching my video with interest!😃
They don’t do upkeep because instead they just break down and rebuild the entire building. So people buying these “old” places are hoping that their building is up for redevelopment soon.
I'm so satisfied following your exploration to this neighborhood and apartment. Informative narration too. 👍 So enjoyable! Big thanks to you, my friend.
I like going to new places with you. It's always such an adventure. Thanks so much for all the traveling without moving from home👍13+🔔 support fom Italy
Welcome to my channel!🤗 The purpose of my channel is to make it easier for people to travel from corner to corner leaning on the sofa!😉 Thanks for watching!😊
the building you've walkthrough was a ugly-ass and old looking townhouses, seriously though, this the famous expensive neighborhood? heard suho from exo lived here and everyone was surprised bc apparently its an expensive neighborhood
Although they look shabby from the outside, they are apartments with the best interiors and furnishings!😃 Suho's parents have been living here for decades too! That means Suho grew up in a very wealthy family!😊 Thanks for watching!😉
@@wanderplanet yow thanks for the respond. Are the lay out and floor plans for these building available on the web? Been looking thru google images and i just see some basic looking rooms.
No. I think their dorm around sj dorm cos kyuhyun shared some bubbles and he said that he saw many nct sasaeng in front of their dorm when he back to his dorm

It’s beautiful though I’m not a fan of towering apartments! Good information from the description. December greetings from Nz. C U
Not all Koreans like apartments!😅 Apartments are popular because they are convenient to live in and the price goes up easily!😊 Thanks for watching!😉
are these rental apartments or one can own a unit apartment in the buiding?
These apartments have different owners for different units!😊 People with multiple houses have to pay a lot of taxes, so only one person owns one!😉
Very nice indeed ❤️👍
Thanks for watching!😊
정말 외관이 많이 낡았네요. 여기도 재개발되는군요.
한국은 외부인이 아파트 단지에 마음데로 들어가는게 신기해요.
여기는 사는사람아니면 못들어가는데...
잘보고갑니다~ 좋아요 23
한남더힐이나 유엔빌리지 같은 몇몇 아파트 빼곤 웬만하면 다 오픈되어 있더라고요!😊 압구정 현대도 재건축 되고 나면 외부인 출입금지가 될지도 모르겠네요!😅
It ’s a wonderful cityscape.
Welcome to WP's channel!🤗 Have a nice day!😉
Nice neigborhood in Korea! My warm greetings from Palma de Mallorca Spain
I'm glad you stopped by!😊 Have a nice day and stay safe!😉
Bagaimana keadaan Korea disana teman? sangat menikmati setiap videomu.. ingin rasanya bertukar video denganmu
Terima kasih telah menikmati videoku!🙂 Korea Selatan sekarang melarang pertemuan karena Kosta Rika dan sebagian dari penjualan restoran!😅
2.8 billion won does not equal $258M (USD). More like $2.3M (USD).

너무 재밌게 잘 봣습니다. 80년대 구정초 신구중 구정고 1학년까지 73동에 살았었는데. 제가 초딩때 활동했던 동네 골목 구석구석을 너무나 속시원하게 보여주시네요. 추억여행 너무 잘하고 갑니다. 올해 겨울쯤 한국가게 되믄 저도 한번 구석 구석 둘러보고 영상도 찍으려 합니다.
감사합니다!~
