Soyou Buys New Home Using Hynix Stocks Purchased 10 Years Ago

Soyou, a singer from the girl group SISTAR, announced that she has purchased a new home.

On the 28th, a video titled "I explain everything: Plastic surgery, monthly rent, dating rumors, male friends, drunk woman, etc. | EP.17 Soyou | Truman Show" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Ipmanyeolmeon'. Appearing as a guest, Soyou spoke honestly about various rumors, wealth theories, and dating rumors in front of a lie detector.

Lee Yong Jin asked, "Do you have a lot of money, or do you have a lot of rumors? Are the rumors based on fact, or are they completely far-fetched stories?" Soyou replied, "I think it's all mixed together. Some parts were true, but the specific incidents might not be. There are things I feel the need to explain, and there are things that are truly nonsensical."

Regarding the image of being wealthy that surrounds her, she said, "I don't know why it became like that," recalling when she moved to Gwanjeo-dong in the past.

She expressed her bewilderment, saying, "I once said, 'I moved here thinking I might live here for about 5 years and then get married. But since I no longer have thoughts of marriage, I am planning to move.' Then, the comments reacted with things like, 'So there was a man she thought about marrying,' or 'So they broke up.'"

When Lee Yong Jin asked, "Wouldn't people normally think that way?" Soyou clarified, "I just naturally thought about marriage because of my age. I even moved while I didn't even have a boyfriend."

However, to the question, "Have you continuously not had a boyfriend?" she answered honestly, "It wasn't like that."

Soyou also opened up about the persistent rumors of her being a real estate tycoon. Lee Yong Jin asked, "The rumor about you paying 13 million won in monthly rent was famous. But isn't that just the price that appears when you search for it?" Soyou replied, "That's right. But I didn't pay that price. People think I am very rich. The reason I didn't bother to explain is because looking somewhat well-off is better than looking like a beggar. Don't you agree?"

On the 19th, Soyou confessed through the YouTube channel 'Studio Suje' that she secured a new home through stock investment. She admitted to her stock investments, saying, "10 years ago, with the mindset of studying stocks, I put about 100 million won into a single stock. I invested when Samsung Electronics and Hynix were rising."

She continued, "When it was time to move, my mother brought up the stocks she had put in previously. I was able to add those profits to buy a house. It wasn't a complete 'Yeong-keul' (pulling everything together), but thanks to that money, I was able to move into a new home," announcing that her stock investment was a complete success.
