On January 7, it was reported that IU was among those who saw profit from the opening of new high-speed rail system GTX (Great Train eXpress) lines.
As a result, the property that IU bought at 4.6 billion won (approximately 4.1 million dollars) is now estimated to be at a market price of 6.9 billion won (approximately 6.2 million dollars), giving her a 2.3 billion (approximately 2.1 million dollars) profit.
In response to the report, IU's management agency Kakao M strongly denied the allegation.
The agency stated, "It is true that IU bought a building in Gwacheon last January. However, she bought it for her personal use."
Kakao M also clarified that the profit of 2.3 billion won is nothing but a false information.
