(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hong Guk-ki = The famous Chinese restaurant ‘Mokran’, which has star chef Lee Yeon-bok, in Seoul, also failed to overcome the wave of Corona 19 and eventually closed.
Instead, Mokran purchases a nearby building that is smaller than the current one and starts anew. The signage will remain the same.
A specific start date has not yet been determined.
According to Gigi Auction, a real estate auction information company on the 18th, Mokran sold a detached house with an exclusive area of 327 m2 (land area of 296.9 m2) at 90-2 Yeonhui-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul at an auction held at the Seoul Western District Court on the 12th for 3.7 billion won. received.
This is regarding 412.74 million won higher than the appraised value (3.294,263,850 won). It was a successful bid on the first bid date, and a total of three bidders, including Mokran, bid.
Lee Joo-hyeon, senior researcher at Gigi Auction, said, “The market price of this detached house is over 40 million won per 3.3 square meters, and the neighborhood living facilities are around 60 million to 70 million won.” It ranges from 10 million to 12 million won,” he explained.

This detached house is located just 200 meters away from the Mokran Seoul main office in a straight line.
As a result of the Yonhap News coverage, it was found that the reason Mokran won the bid for this detached house was to start anew by reducing the business scale due to the deficit and manpower shortage in the followingmath of Corona 19.
Lee Eun-sil, the chef’s wife and Mokran’s CEO, said in a phone call with Yonhap News, “I’m still cautious,” but said, “The business has been hit hard by Corona 19. We plan to buy the building at an auction and start a new one on a small scale.”
He added, “The detached house that won the auction is so small that it’s less than half the size of the currently leased restaurant building.”
The Mokran Seoul head office, which has been operating for 24 years this year, was a restaurant that was so popular that even before the outbreak of Corona 19, it had to break through fierce reservation competition in advance.
This is because this chef became famous for appearing on TV and gained word of mouth.
Mokran continued its efforts to secure popularity at a lower price than hotel Chinese restaurants while competing with food quality and specialization to the extent that certain dishes can only be tasted two to three days in advance.
However, during the past two years of the COVID-19 outbreak, restaurant operations and sales have been severely affected.
Not to mention competition for reservations, there were also days when reservations were not taken on the same day.
This is because the government was unable to properly receive customers due to the government’s social distancing measures and restrictions on business hours and number of people due to the spread of Corona 19.
In addition, when employees had to close their business due to a group infection with COVID-19, they had to pay the full monthly rent.
Chef Lee appeared on a TV program last month and complained of difficulties last year, saying that his loss reached 120 million won due to Corona 19.

To make matters worse, the Mokran branch, which opened in Gijang-gun, Busan in 2017, will also close on the 30th due to a shortage of manpower. Some personnel from the branch will join the Seoul headquarters.
From that day on, social distancing is over and daily life is restored, but Mokran eventually decided to start anew by reducing the size of its business in a new location.
Lee said, “After changing the use of the house to a neighborhood living facility, I plan to obtain a loan in the name of a corporation to finance the purchase.”
Kim In-man, head of the Real Estate Economics Research Institute, said, “Loans for single-family and multi-family houses are difficult due to housing regulations, but in the case of neighborhood living facilities, individuals receive 50-70% of the collateral, and corporations receive 70-80% of the loan, so the change of use is active.” The change of use from a house to a neighborhood living facility is a permit system, but it is an environment that is not difficult to change as long as it is not a violation building and there is no problem with the septic tank capacity.”
