IVE's Wonyoung has purchased a luxury apartment in Hannam-dong UN Village. According to the real estate industry and the Supreme Court registry, Wonyoung bought a unit in a luxury apartment in Hannam-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul for 13.7 billion won (about 1.44 billion yen) in March and completed the ownership registration last month. Since there is no mortgage registered, it is seen as a cash transaction. The location offers views of both the Han River and Namsan, and there are only 15 residences combined in the two buildings. It is equipped with a 24-hour security system and private elevators, making it suitable for privacy protection. This apartment is also known for being where actress Kim Tae-hee lived before marrying Rain. IVE held their second world tour 'SHOW WHAT I AM' at Seoul's KSPO DOME from October 31 to November 2.
