"No matter how much money I have, I won't go to Hannam-dong."

Broadcaster Kim Gura recently stated on his YouTube channel 'Geurigura,' "People ask me, 'You have so much money, so why don't you live in Hannam-dong?' but no matter how much money I have, I won't go there," adding, "I just prefer the outskirts."

According to the real estate industry on the 14th, Kim Gura is confirmed to be residing in Ilsan Wish City, located in Siksa-dong, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, which is known as the "wealthy neighborhood of Ilsan." This place is also famous as a complex where "100 celebrities live."

Kim Gura explained why many celebrities live here, saying, "It's really good for people in broadcasting," and added, "Ilsan MBC is just 15 minutes away. If the show ends at 12:30, I can be in bed by 1. Sangam-dong is a 30-minute cut, Yeouido 40 minutes, Mok-dong 50 minutes. The only inconvenience is the hair salons, but it's the best place for broadcasting." In fact, many celebrities such as Jeon Jin, Hong Seo-beom, Jo Gap-kyung, Kim Tae-won, and Lee Jong-hyuk are known to reside in Siksa-dong.

In particular, the 'Wish City 3rd Complex Blooming Apartment' where Kim Gura lives is a luxury apartment complex consisting of medium to large-sized units ranging from 39 to 92 pyeong. The complex offers various high-end community facilities, including an indoor screen golf practice range, gym, sauna, cafeteria, children's playroom, senior room, guest house, coin laundry, banquet hall, and private studios, allowing residents to enjoy diverse leisure activities. Additionally, the entire complex is designed without roads or parking lots on the ground level, creating a gallery-like park atmosphere. Within a 10-minute walk, there are elementary, middle, and high schools, earning high marks for its school district.

Transportation is also excellent. From the main gate of the complex, residents can use M buses and express buses to access central Seoul, and it takes about 10 minutes on foot to reach subway stations for the Gyeongui Line or Subway Line 3. The KTX Haengsin Station is also nearby, and with Goyang IC adjacent, access to the Outer Ring Expressway is convenient.
