Article: SNSD Yoona, turns out she owns a building worth 10 billion won in Chungdamdong Gangnam

1. [+1,695, -19] Must be nice not having to worry about money. I guess all of Chungdamdong is owned by celebrities at this point.
2. [+1,451, -155] We really need to reassess celebrity income. How is this normal?
3. [+1,291, -20] I don't particularly have anything to say... just that it must be nice
4. [+109, -11] So much money for what work they actually do.. I have a lot to say but I won't say it
5. [+108, -6] Goo Hara owns a building too. Makes sense for Yoona to own one. But imagine owning a building worth 10 billion won at 29 years old;; while still making a ton of money through other things ㅡㅡ why is money being shoveled to these clowns? The average person can't save up to own a 10 billion won building in a lifetime no matter how good of a college they went to or how high-paying their job is. Celebrities really are royalty.
6. [+105, -16] Housing costs in Seoul keeps going up because of celebrities buying up land for expensive prices. 50% of the buildings in Seoul are owned by celebrities.
7. [+71, -7] Popular celebrities = new royalty ㅎㅎ I admit that they worked really hard to get there and that they deserve to make this much... but I think there needs to be fair pay for the staff who work in the industry too. Some of these people are working for slave wages...
8. [+60, -1] Ah~ really makes me hate going to work this morning~~ ㅋ
9. [+54, -10] I understand when people write comments saying that news like this makes them feel empty. Yoona is 30 in Korean age and most 30 year olds are just now entry-level in their careers or at least mid-level if they started working early while barely making 2 million won a month. At Yoona's level, she's probably pulling in huge amounts of money per drama or movie or CF... I'm jealous.
10. [+22, -2] I know people are just going to call me jealous but honestly, who doesn't work hard to try to make money?? Doctors and lawyers worked their butts off to get their jobs, public service workers studied their butts off in tiny little rooms to get there... You have to admit that celebrities make way too much money for how much work they do.
11. [+20, -3] Imagine a net worth of 10 billion won at that age, what a dream. Being rich is great but being young and rich must be even better, and self-made to boot and beautiful too. Just jealous, that's all.
12. [+20, -2] How lucky... ㅋㅋ "They worked through tough competition" As if the rest of us aren't working through competition? There's a problem with this income distribution.
