[Exclusive] Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, suffered from planning real estate fraud... 1 billion won loss

  • Can she make a profit out of public or military related stuff like running a military canteen or hostel. Do hospitals count as public service?

    Don’t know about military but public service it would be very hard to make a profit because it has to provide a service to all kinds of people including the poor. As such often these services must be low priced or free. Hospitals can be public or private, it’s to the owner.


    I don’t know about other countries but here in uk you can get private hospitals but they charge a big fee or subscription type of payment. Meanwhile literally every single person living here has totally free access to any hospital. So unless you need specific specialist care or are rich there’s not much need or interest in a private hospital compared to a public one.


    Just a important any plans must confirm to local council rules and regulations. You don’t follow their rules your ideas scrapped.


    So it’s very unlikely Tae could make much profit of say a public park or building a library or whatever. She could if she wants of course but that would mainly for goodwill rather than financial gain. If she can’t get her money back then the best way to recoup some of it is to sell the land to a willing buyer. And considering it’s not meant to be used as private property no one going to be offering a huge deal, the scammers bought it for less than half what she bought it for after all, so she is gonna have to eat a huge net loss.

  • It was her late dad who bought it under her name.. one of his dad's acquaintances suggested it to him..


    K-side is trashing her cause they think it was greedy for her to buy more land and property because of the current housing crisis going on in SK, but it wasnt even her who bought it..


    Most literally say she is already so rich why is she greedy on making more money?


    Where was this same outrage when IU or BTS or Exo members buy new property, that time they are complimented.. they are also just as rich if not more than her..


    Obviously they didnt know they would get scammed like this lmao I cant understand them... imgine trashing someone for getting scammed

  • The report on akp's news side says her dad is the one who did it. Didn't he pass away recently? I hope it wasn't stress induced from dealing with this. :sadface:

    That kind of makes sense, I mean for an artist at her level with that much money, she should be more careful unless the deal is done without her proper checking or her carelessness. If her late father the one that decided to invest in it then Tae might just support it.

  • damn. That's a lot of money. I hope atleast a portion of it can be salvaged.


    I heard real estate scams are used in the plot of many kdramas are they that common in sk?


    But how were these celebrities supposed to know that the land couldn't be sold off for construction? You'd think when the sellers are advertising it with a kbs comedian it's legit. Won't the comedian be in trouble as well? I don't think this issue will be forgotten easily. I hope the non celebrities that lost their money also get their money back since this issue has been brought to light.

    I am also quite confused especially when it comes to celebrities. They should know they are one of the high likely targets since they earn so much money. They should discuss this thing with some specialist in this kind of thing before investing. I'm not blaming anyone, but I couldn't help to think that why celebs that have much money couldn't just hire someone to investigate first before investing unless the one that you trust is the one that betrays you (just like in Lisa's case).

  • Don't know why some people feel the need to mad at them. It is not like they earn that much money from stealing or doing illegal things. They already have too much money, what do you expect them to do? and in this Taeyeon's case, it is not even her decision to buy that land. Damn people, double standard at it finest. If that other artists get scammed, they will pity them and give them support. LMAO

  • the knetz on theqoo are talking about IU but i can't understand what exactly they are saying

    Girl just released a statement and its so upsetting to see how she is being treated right now as if the scam wasnt enough


    "Ever since I was a child, I lived apart from my family. So with the life that I have left, I wanted to find a place for my family where I could work and live in a location that was closer [to them], so that I could meet them more often. It was my dream to create a spot just for my family.
    With the consent of my family, both of my parents confirmed with their own eyes and painted the same dream as me, and that is how we made the decision.
    I am posting this because our purpose and intentions seem to be reflected differently [fro the truth]."
    I ask that you refrain from misunderstanding and making speculations. We are currently waiting one-sidedly regarding our financial damages. I'm upset and don't know why I have to be telling this story in this way, but I am asking those who are viewing this situation badly and misunderstanding to refrain from doing so.
    I would be crazy to try and invest for profit with that land."
  • this sounds like this green belt scheme from 'Dali and The Cocky Prince' kdrama

    the knetz on theqoo are talking about IU but i can't understand what exactly they are saying

    Its probably about IU's property "scandal" in 2019. It was reported she had bought property in a area where a future subway/train station would be built and as a result the prices would probably skyrocket. Accusations were made that it was done based on inside information etc. All was bullshit ofc, turned out the property wasnt really close to the suggested new station location, and when a tv station went there it turned out that it was used for her mothers business, her own office/studio, and a place where she let young musicians practice and use the studio for free. Her mother had to be interviewed and show them around the property.


    IU released a statement later and like Taeyeons statement, you could tell she was not pleased at all with the whole situation and how it was reported, forcing her mother to appear on tv etc.

  • The real estate market has always interested all kinds of scam artists. And although 10-15 years ago, these scams were extremely popular, no one can say that there are no risks now. For easy money, swindlers sometimes invent cunning schemes to cheat, but sometimes they resort to the most trivial and obvious, as in this case. So you should be careful at each stage of renting or buying an apartment, buying furniture, even if, at first glance, you have not noticed any threats. It is known that swindlers usually avoid real estate agencies for fraudulent schemes. Superfluous witnesses, unnecessary questions, and the attention of realtors reduce the probability of "catch a naive client" and making black money on sale or rent operations. That's why scammers usually do it without intermediaries.
