Article: IU reps, "Unfounded rumors... the 2.3 billion won is an error" [official statement]
Source: TV Report via Nate
IU reps, "Claims that IU purchased a building and land through speculation are not true. She had no such intention. The building is currently being used as IU's mother's office, her personal work room, and training rooms for juniors that she is supporting. She has no intention to sell anything. The rise in price that is claimed is impossible. The 2.3 billion won is not even correct. The neighborhood in question doesn't even allow deals."
1. [+564, -160] I wonder who's behind her, what an amazing b*tch
2. [+470, -92] In a September 2015 interview with CeCi, IU was asked about her thoughts on her new wealth and whether that has brought more happiness, to which she replied, "There's a saying that not everyone is happy just because they're rich. I don't think they're wrong but I do think that there's a possibility to become happy by having money. One thing's for sure, money gives people a sense of confidence. I had a deep talk about money with my mother not too long ago. I felt that although I was making more than in the past, I was also spending more and I felt that I was losing a sense of money's worth. As I became more numb to bigger amounts of money, I felt that I was having happier times stolen from me. Which is why I thought after a long while that I don't need any more wealth than I have now. My parents agreed with me."
And how is it that there was not one article in the news about her purchasing 4.9 billion won worth of real estate? When other celebrities get in the news just for purchasing a billion won worth of land or buildings?
3. [+438, -66] Her agency's clarification uses deception ㅋㅋ Obviously deals aren't allowed in the town yet because GTX hasn't even begun developing on the land. Unless you're a fool, anyone would know that you have to develop that land and have people register in order for the prices to rise. What IU's doing right now is 'gentrification'. She's raising prices and driving the original people who used to live there out since she has to rent out her building to make a profit. 'Gentrification' is one of the worst economic processes.
4. [+83, -10] Does she really think we're idiots enough to believe that? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ How many other pieces of land have risen that much? How did she know that the land was going to rise that much without previous information? Does she think that lands like this just fall into the laps of kind people? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+73, -8] So she makes trainees go all the way to Gwachun to train ㅋㅋㅋ she has quite an eye for seeing land, I'm sure she'll profit off of this in middle age ^^
6. [+62, -10] So scary ㅋ She always slips out of scandals like a slippery loach ㅎㅎ
7. [+59, -8] A training room in the green belt^^? Wow~~~~~~~~
8. [+56, -8] Well she's been caught now so she can't sell it immediately. She can just leave it there and let GTX develop it so the price can rise even higher. How can she do this after giving interviews claiming she doesn't need any further wealth~
9. [+55, -9] The land she bought is totally in the middle of no where ㅠㅠㅜㅜㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
10. [+46, -10] So if the area the land is in doesn't allow deals, how did she purchase it?
11. [+43, -5] Her land is in the middle of no where with nothing on it and yet she paid 4.6 billion won for it? Why would she do that unless she was given information to make her think otherwise? Who would risk throwing away their money like that?
12. [+42, -3] Her agency should've thought this out a bit more before putting out a clarification so fast. Do they think we're that dumb... I have no words to say at their claim that there are "no deals allowed" there ㅋㅋㅋㅋ... how can you be so dumb to say that? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
13. [+39, -3] Well I guess her trainees are going to have to take the GTX to get to their training room then
14. [+34, -5] A better excuse would've been to say she bought the land to build an orphanage in the future........... she bought it to use as a training room?? Who would go all the way to Gwachun to train, that's a lot of unnecessary suffering.
15. [+34, -9] ㅋㅋ She has no reason to sell it now. Once the area is developed more, she'll make even more money ㅋ
16. [+48, -5] She wants us to believe she invested 4.6 billion won in the middle of no where to use as a training room..? ㅎㅎㅎ
17. [+48, -6] I'm really disappointed in her... and actually scared of her
18. [+43, -6] I'm really curious.. she goes all the way to Gwachun just to train?? I'd rather spend 4 billion won somewhere in Seoul... isn't it better to have something like that closer to you?
19. [+39, -3] So the "error" they're trying to claim is that it wasn't a 2.3 billion won rise in price but 2.2 billion won ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ either way, she knew the land was going to rise in price and now they want us to believe she bought it to live on.. which is what everyone says when they get caught ㅋㅋ
20. [+38, -2] I mean, she's lucky that she made money off of the land rising in price but her official statement is fishy. Normally when people buy buildings to use for commercial purposes, they try to buy it closer to them with better infrastructure, no? Time is money to these top stars, why would she purchase one so far away from her?
21. [+35, -1] You have to chance on incredible luck to purchase a piece of land like this. It basically boils down to who has the better information, which leads to obvious suspicions, no?
