Soyou reveals stock profits helped her buy a house

SISTAR Soyou revealed that profits from a stock investment she made 10 years ago helped her purchase a home.

The singer shared the story during an appearance on the web variety show “Ganjeolhanip,” which will be released on May 19 through the YouTube channel Studio Suze.

Soyou explained that although she does not know much about stocks, she invested KRW 100 million (approximately USD 73,000) around 10 years ago as a way to start learning about finance and simply left the investment untouched afterward.

She added that the profits from the investment recently became “a huge help” in purchasing a house.

The singer also hinted that she is currently preparing to move after recently buying a home. Last month, she appeared on the YouTube channel hosted by Lee Changsub and revealed the luxury villa in Hannam-dong where she has lived for the past six years.

According to Soyou, the villa operates under a unique yearly rent payment system requiring a 100 million KRW (approximately USD 73,000) deposit and approximately 13 million KRW (approximately USD 9,500) in monthly rent paid in advance.

She explained that online clips often portrayed her as living in an extremely expensive property, but clarified that she moved in when rental prices were lower.

Soyou also shared that she once planned to live in the home until marriage, but later changed her mind. When asked where she plans to move next, she declined to reveal the location, explaining that a sasaeng fan had recently come directly to her front door.

Meanwhile, Soyou recently returned with her new album Off Hours.
