It wasn’t from her income as a singer.

Singer Soyou revealed that a stock investment she made nearly a decade ago ended up helping her purchase a home.
In a recent appearance on the web show Desperate Appetite, Soyou opened up about unexpectedly finding success through investing despite claiming she knew very little about stocks. However, she explained that around ten years ago, she decided to put money in simply to learn more about investing.
“I know nothing about stocks. I put in ₩100 million KRW (about $67,200 USD) to study it and just left it there.”
She then surprised viewers by revealing that the profits helped her buy a house recently.
“Recently, the profits from that investment became a huge help in buying a house.”
The confession quickly drew attention, especially since Soyou recently revealed she was preparing to move out of the luxury Hannam-dong villa she had lived in for six years. She had previously shared that the residence reportedly operated on a yearly pre-paid rent system and carried an estimated monthly equivalent of around ₩13.0 million KRW (about $8,740 USD).
Although she made tons as a singer, it seems that for big ticket purchases, a windfall from stocks was more helpful! You can read more about her house below.
