BTS member Suga has moved out of his luxury villa in the UN Village, Hannam-dong, Seoul, where he had been living on a jeonse lease. The villa is now set to be purchased by Choi Jin Man, the founder of Kiturami Group.

According to a report by Bizhankook on November 27th, Choi Jin Man and his wife, Kim Mi Hye, the former chairwoman of the Kiturami Welfare Foundation, have made plans to buy the villa.

The couple signed a purchase contract with the development company IBC&C on October 22 for 17 billion KRW. They have already applied for a provisional registration of ownership transfer at the court before completing the payment.

The villa, located in Yongsan-gu’s exclusive UN Village, was the place Suga called home until recently. Before this, Suga had purchased another luxury villa in the same neighborhood in 2018 for 3.4 billion KRW but moved out in 2021 due to conflicts with neighbors.

He then relocated to Park Hannam, where the jeonse deposit was reportedly 9.5 billion KRW, with BigHit Music covering the deposit. Suga lived there until May this year, when he moved to his current residence at Nine One Hannam.

In other news, Suga made headlines earlier this year for an incident on August 6, when he fell off an electric scooter in Hannam-dong.

Police found him alone, and a breathalyzer test showed a blood alcohol level of 0.227%. As a result, Suga was fined 15 million KRW for drunk driving.

Suga, who began his military service as a social service agent in March, is expected to be discharged in June next year.

Former Girl’s Day member Jang Hye Ri (real name Lee Ji In) is making headlines after exposing the dark side of the entertainment industry—revealing that she once received a shocking sponsorship offer from a well-known entertainment company CEO.

On March 3, Jang Hye Ri appeared in a video titled "[NonNonNon] I Heard You Got Wasted and Ruined Yourself?" on the YouTube channel ‘Channel Fixed’ (채널고정해).

During the discussion, broadcaster Kang Byung Kyu opened up about the hidden dangers in the industry, saying, “Even today, there are idols who get invited to drinking gatherings by acquaintances of acquaintances. Some people keep luring them into these situations. We call them ‘devils.’”

Jang Hye Ri then shocked viewers by admitting, “I’ve been to those places before. I even sang there.” She continued, “Even now, I still get offers like, ‘Let’s talk business over drinks’ or ‘You need to build connections this way.’ It happens all the time.”

She also shared how these gatherings have evolved, saying, “Nowadays, it’s not just about drinking. There’s also golf. People keep asking, ‘Do you play golf?’ I don’t drink well, and I don’t enjoy these meetings. But sometimes, I wondered, ‘Do I have to do this to succeed?’”

Then, Jang Hye Ri dropped a bombshell—recalling a shocking moment from her rookie days:

“When I was a rookie, I attended a drinking gathering where a very famous CEO was present. He had even invited male rookies to sing. Then he suddenly told me, ‘If I help you grow, you have to be my girlfriend.’”

She continued, “I was caught off guard and immediately refused. But then he started listing celebrities he had ‘helped’ through these relationships. I was young, and it really hurt my pride. It made me determined to succeed without going down that path. But he told me, ‘You’ll never make it if you don’t do this. This is how the industry works.’”

Even after rejecting him, Jang Hye Ri revealed that she kept running into the CEO over the years. “Since he’s still active in the industry, I would occasionally see him. Every time, he would say, ‘You rejected my offer, and that’s why you’re struggling now.’ But honestly, I have no regrets. I wouldn’t change my decision.”

Meanwhile, Jang Hye Ri, one of the original members of Girl’s Day, has since transitioned into a trot singer. In 2020, she released her single "Seobangnim" and gained attention after finishing fourth place on KBS 2TV’s Trot National Contest.
