IVE's An Yu-jin reportedly spotted at luxury Seocho apartment complex

An acquaintance of IVE's An Yu-jin claimed to have seen the idol at the THE H Bangbae apartment in Seoul on the 22nd, though it remains unconfirmed if she resides at the complex where unit asking prices have reached approximately 4 billion won.

Interest is growing following reports that IVE's An Yu-jin was spotted at a luxury new apartment complex in Seocho-gu, Seoul, which has drawn significant attention as a so-called "lotto subscription" site. The complex has become a hot topic as asking prices for units, which were originally offered at approximately 2.2 billion won, have been mentioned to be around 4 billion won. While interest has surged regarding whether An Yu-jin actually resides there, an acquaintance who shared the sighting only speculated that her parents might be living there, leaving her actual residency unconfirmed.

On the 23rd, a video titled "3,000-unit THE H Bangbae, fresh new construction moving in this September! Sensible interior" was released on the YouTube channel Alkong Dalkong Park Eun-young. In the video, broadcaster Park Eun-young visited the newly built THE H Bangbae apartment in Bangbae-dong, Seocho-gu, where move-ins have recently begun, to tour an acquaintance's home. While examining the scale of the units and the new interior, the name of a famous celebrity naturally surfaced.

While touring the home, Park Eun-young mentioned An Yu-jin, stating, "An Yu-jin of IVE won the general subscription. It's like she has 'golden hands' to win like that." The news that a famous idol won a subscription for an apartment worth billions of won has once again become a topic of conversation. The complex had previously attracted intense interest from the real estate market due to high competition during the subscription period and expectations of significant capital gains.

Park Eun-young went on to ask her acquaintance if An Yu-jin actually lives in this apartment. The acquaintance drew attention by responding, "I saw her just yesterday." As this implied a recent sighting of An Yu-jin, it became a point of interest online. However, the acquaintance immediately clarified that it is difficult to be certain about her actual residency.

The acquaintance speculated, "I don't think she lives there. It seems like her parents live there," adding, "That might be why she can be spotted from time to time." Whether An Yu-jin resides in the apartment or if her parents have actually moved in remains unconfirmed. Therefore, these accounts should be viewed as the sighting and personal speculation of an acquaintance.

The reason THE H Bangbae is garnering attention is not solely due to the celebrity sighting. This apartment, located in Bangbae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, had a sale price of approximately 2.2 billion won for an 84㎡ unit when it was offered last August. Since then, the gap between the original sale price and the prices expected by the market has become a topic of discussion, as asking prices for some units have been mentioned to be around 4 billion won. However, as asking prices can differ from actual transaction prices, this cannot be concluded as a definitive capital gain.

Rumors regarding An Yu-jin's successful subscription have also drawn interest in the past. While reports emerged that she won a lottery for the general subscription portion of the complex, her specific winning status and the type of housing unit have not been officially confirmed. At the time, her agency, Starship Entertainment, stated, "It is difficult to confirm as it is a personal matter."

Ultimately, this sighting does not confirm An Yu-jin's actual residence or ownership of the apartment. However, interest is resurfacing as the name of the popular idol meets the buzz of a multi-billion won new apartment and the "lotto subscription" phenomenon. The reasons for An Yu-jin's presence at the complex and whether her family resides there remain within the realm of speculation.
