On January 7, IU came under fire for what appeared to be unfair land and real estate speculation in the city of Gwancheon for profit.
IU denied the claims when the story first broke. In her denial message, the singer said that she had put the property to use as a private studio, a place for junior artists, and her mother’s office. Under these circumstances, she attempted to make it clear that she had no intention to sell off her properties.
Notwithstanding her claim, negative public opinion continued to mount. In response, IU’s agency announced that after consultation with her they have decided to reveal interior photos of the buildings currently in use. In doing so, they hope to further damage, prevent false information, and the spread of malicious rumors.
According to the agency, one of her building is currently used as the singer’s personal studio, her mother’s office, and warehouse. The publication, which has sparked some privacy concerns, has failed to have the desired effect and remains controversial.
Also IU and her agency whether state that they will not stand for the “spread of false information and defamation” and take legal action if necessary.
