Engin Koç Leaves Istanbul for Rural Life in Sivas

Former Turkish model and actor Engin Koç, once known as the “Mankenler Kralı,” has left the bustle of Istanbul and settled in a prefabricated house he built in Yeniköy, a village in the Hafı​k district of Sivas Province. He lives there with his wife Pınar and their son Burga, spending his days working the garden and enjoying a quieter, nature‑focused lifestyle.

Koç posted a photo on social media taken with his mother, Gül Koç, in Sivas, which quickly attracted many likes and comments. The post highlighted his new, simple way of life and sparked discussion about celebrities opting for smaller towns over big‑city living.
