Singer Soyou, formerly of the group Sistar, revealed the story of how she chipped in the proceeds from Samsung Electronics and SK hynix stocks she invested in 10 years ago to buy a new home.
On the 1st, a video titled "Wudangtangtang Soyou's moving day, I never want to move twice again.." was posted on the YouTube channel "Soyougi." The video shows Soyou tidying up the home where she lived for six years and moving to a new place.
In the video, Soyou said, "After living here for about six years, there was a lot to throw away and a lot to organize," noting she spent time on recycling and packing until the day before the move. Looking out the window, she also said, "I'm disappointed that I won't see this tree change with each season."
She also expressed anticipation for the new home. Soyou said, "There are many parts I indulged in with this home," and revealed some areas. She explained she put the most effort into the kitchen and invested a large sum. The video also showed parts of the new home's interior centered on white tones.
Earlier, on the web entertainment show "Ganjeolhanip" released on the 19th, she also shared an investment anecdote tied to securing the new home. She said that 10 years ago, to try studying stocks, she put 100 million won into Samsung Electronics and SK hynix and then forgot about it without much trading. Later, prompted by her mother's comment, she recalled the investment and said that during this move she added the proceeds from those stocks to the purchase of her new residence.
However, she drew a line at the view of her as a "financial management queen." Soyou said her point was that she was lucky rather than skilled at managing money, and explained that long-term holding helped her secure the new home.
On moving day, issues with truck access, appliance installation and unpacking overlapped, delaying the schedule. Soyou said, "It should have been done by 11 a.m., but it kept getting delayed," adding, "I don't want to move ever again." Even so, she said, "There are spaces I really put a lot of effort into," and said she would reveal the new home in detail later.
